Mac Jones didn’t wish to wait till Sunday.
The embattled Patriots quarterback appeared to at the least give a touch concerning the team’s plans at quarterback against the Giants on Sunday.
Jones was asked if he can be starting after getting benched within the Patriots’ last game, a 10-6 loss to the Colts in Germany on Nov. 9.
“I hope so, That’s the plan, I feel,” Jones said, based on NESN.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick has been mum on who would start as he has been asked repeatedly concerning the subject through the team’s bye week.
“I’ve told all of the players the identical thing — be able to go. So hopefully they can be,” Belichick said Tuesday.
When pressed on the topic, Belichick said he “will let you understand on Sunday.”
Jones has had a nightmarish third season as he continues his regression from a promising rookie campaign that saw him lead the Patriots to the playoffs after Tom Brady left for the Buccaneers.
Jones has accomplished 212-of-324 passes this season with 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions for the 2-8 and last-place Patriots.
Jones told reporters he’s had “good conversations” with Belichick this week whilst speculation swirled that he can be dropped to 3rd string behind Bailey Zappe and Will Grier.
“Really what I’ve been specializing in is what I can control,” Jones said. “I’ve put a whole lot of thought into that. … That’s what I can do — control what I can control.”
Zappe has not exactly offered reason for optimism, completing 10-of-25 passes with an interception within the three games he has replaced Jones.
On Tuesday, Jones and Zappe each took first-team reps in the course of the portion of practice open to the media.
Grier, who starred at West Virginia, has had some impressive preseason moments but has mainly been a practice squad player for the reason that Panthers drafted him within the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
The Patriots signed Grier this offseason.
The Giants will start Tommy DeVito against Recent England with the sport at 1 p.m. at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
