The Patriots quarterback situation entering their Week 12 matchup against the Giants became a little bit clearer Saturday morning.
Backup quarterback Will Grier has been waived, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday.
The Patriots’ decision to release Grier comes as they’ve yet to name their starting quarterback for Sunday’s game, but it removes one player from contention. Grier was one of the three quarterbacks on the Patriots’ active roster prior to Saturday.
However, Grier was the Patriots’ third-string quarterback for much of his time in New England after he signed with the team in September.
