Wednesday's practice seemed to imply that one quarterback on the New England Patriots roster has won the starting job prior to their Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers
And just a day later, it was confirmed.
The Athletic's Jeff Howe reports that the Patriots are "preparing QB Bailey Zappe to start Sunday against the Chargers."
The starting job has been Mac Jones' since the start of the season, but the third-year quarterback has now been benched four times. Yet it seems now, instead of getting benched mid-game, Jones is getting benched prior to the game.
Zappe reportedly got the most reps in practice on Wednesday, with Malik Cunningham also getting rotated in. It seems the undrafted rookie can get some opportunities on Sunday.
Will Grier also made his return to practice after being waived and then re-signed to the practice squad, but he along with Jones did not get any reps during the media-attended portion of practice.
If Zappe continues to perform well at practice this week, the starting job appears to be his.

Who knows if this will stick?
