Brissett will serve as a backup in Sunday's game against the Titans to Drake Maye, who will start after clearing concussion protocol, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports. Brissett replaced Maye in the first half of last Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets after the rookie signal-caller was forced out of the contest after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit that landed him in the protocol. With Maye having been cleared for Week 9 action, Brissett is slated to reprise his usual duties as the No. 2 quarterback.

Brissett completed 15 of 24 passes for 132 yards, without a touchdown or interception, after replacing Drake Maye (concussion) in the first half of Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets. Brissett added three rushing attempts for 11 yards and threw a two-point conversion. Brissett led the Patriots to an upset win with a pair of second-half touchdown drives, both of which were capped by Rhamondre Stevenson touchdown runs. The veteran quarterback threw a two-point conversion to Stevenson after the running back's second rushing score, which came with 22 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Brissett started New England's first five games but has only two touchdown passes this season, so he won't be an appealing fantasy option if Maye is unable to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before the Patriots head to Tennessee for a Week 9 matchup that could have significant implications near the top of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo confirmed Wednesday that that Brissett will move into the backup role while rookie Drake Maye starts Sunday's game against the Texans. From the moment the Patriots selected Maye third overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, it was inevitable that he would eventually claim the starting job. However, to begin the season, the team turned to the experienced Brissett rather than rushing the rookie into action. With New England sitting on a 1-4 record entering Week 6 and averaging just 12.4 points per game, Maye will now be given the opportunity to help spark the team's struggling attack while Brissett moves into the No. 2 role.

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was non-committal Monday when asked if Brissett would retain the starting quarterback job heading into Sunday's game against the Texans, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports. "All positions are always being evaluated. We haven't had our full staff meeting. That's a conversation, not only at [the quarterback] spot but all the spots, of how to get better as a football team," Mayo said, when asked if Brissett gives the team the best chance to win. The Patriots have limped to a 1-4 start to the season while Brissett has completed just 58.5 percent of his passes for 5.2 yards per attempt and a 2:1 TD:INT through his five starts. While shoddy play from the offensive line and below-average talent at the skill positions hasn't helped him, Brissett enjoyed a relatively clean pocket in this past Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Dolphins and still misfired on several key throws that could have made a difference. Mayo and his staff will take Brissett's body of work through the first five weeks into consideration before deciding whether to stick with the 31-year-old journeyman as the team's starter or turn the offense over to 2024 third overall pick Drake Maye.

Brissett completed 18 of 34 passes for 160 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added a 10-yard rush on his only carry in the Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. Brissett put together another middling passing performance overall, mustering his fifth straight sub-170-yard tally to open the campaign. Brissett also failed to throw a touchdown for the third time in five contests, although he did see what could have been a game-winning scoring strike to Ja'Lynn Polk reversed on replay when it was ruled the receiver did not bring down his heel inbounds. Head coach Jerod Mayo appears steadfast in his commitment to not expose rookie Drake Maye too early considering his team's offensive-line issues, so Brissett appears likely to start a Week 6 home matchup against the Texans.
