Patch Patriots Roundup: QB1 Still Undecided Ahead Of Giants Matchup

FOXBOROUGH, MA — It's an uncertain time for the Patriots heading into Week 12. The biggest question remains at starting quarterback, as the team has yet to announce who will take snaps under center this Sunday.

The Patriots play the New York Giants on Sunday after a bye week, which gives the team an opportunity for a rare 2023 win when they face backup quarterback Tommy Devito.

Offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien told ESPN that practice performance will determine who starts and, so far, three quarterbacks have taken first-team reps at practice including Mac Jones, Bailey Zappe and Will Grier.

A quarterback decision will become clearer later in the week, with Bill Belichick have the final decision, according to reports.

Here's what to know this Thanksgiving week:

However, it's clear — at least for now — that Brady is secure in his retirement in 2023.

Though many hypotheticals have been thrown out recently, on a "Zolak & Bertrand" show this week, former Patriot Scott Zolak said Minnesota reached out to the recently retired Brady after Kirk Cousins tore his achilles.
