The matchup will be one for the aged, rather than a young gun against a sharp veteran when the Green Bay Packers visit the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Mac Jones’ “day-to-day” status changed on Friday. The second-year quarterback from Alabama’s ankle injury will sideline him as the Patriots face Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
That means Brian Hoyer will make his second career start in over 7 years as a Patriot. His first came in 2020 and was a loss.
Hoyer is 16-23 as a starter in his NFL career, which began as an undrafted free agent in 2009.
