Bailey Zappe Signed To 53-Man Roster

one year ago

The Patriots signed quarterback Bailey Zappe back to the 53-man roster. The signal-caller was surprisingly waived on cutdown day but added to the practice squad after clearing waivers. But considering New England is releasing Matt Corral, it appears Zappe is now the permanent backup. The last move also means there's still a chance Zappe could emerge as the team's starter at some point during the season, so Mac Jones may be on a short leash moving ahead. The 24-year-old appeared in four games last season and threw for 781 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions while completing 70.7% of his attempts.
