For a second straight week, the New England Patriots will carry three quarterbacks on their roster with Bailey Zappe, Mac Jones and Malik Cunningham all being active for Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Zappe is expected to get the start, and it’s anyone’s guess how the depth chart will be positioned behind him. Will Cunningham see action under center, or will coach Bill Belichick trot Jones back onto the field at the first sign of serious trouble?
The biggest concern for the Patriots is the wide receiver position with veteran DeVante Parker being listed as out, along with rookies Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte.
