Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: In line to back up Maye
Jacoby 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.

Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Leads comeback win in relief
Jacoby 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 New England 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' Jacoby Brissett: Move to backup role confirmed
New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo confirmed Wednesday that that Jacoby 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' Jacoby Brissett: Heading to bench
Jacoby Brissett is expected to move into a backup role with the New England Patriots planning to start Drake Maye in Sunday's game against the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Though he won the starting job coming out of the preseason, Brissett never looked to be in line for a long-term stay atop the depth chart after the Patriots selected Maye with the No. 3 overall pick in April's draft. After Brissett presided over an offense that ranks 31st in the league with averages of 250.8 yards and 12.4 points per game, not to mention a 1-4 record, the Patriots are now ready to turn the keys over to Maye. Brissett will slide back into the familiar No. 2 role he's occupied across multiple stops in his NFL career, and if Maye stays healthy and provides a lift to the offense, the Patriots could even explore moving the 31-year-old veteran to a quarterback-needy team ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline. Brissett is on an expiring contract and carries a modest cap number of $7.88 million.

Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Could lose starting role
New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was non-committal Monday when asked if Jacoby 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.

Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Can't pull off comeback Sunday
Jacoby 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 New England 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.

Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Retaining starting job
Coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Jacoby Brissett remains the New England Patriots' starting quarterback, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.Brissett is coming off another ugly loss, this time completing 19 of 32 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception (a pick-six) in New England's 30-13 defeat at the hands of the 49ers in Week 4. He also had three rushing yards on two carries, took a whopping six sacks and fumbled three times, losing one. That actually constituted a step up from Brissett's performance in Week 3 in which he was held to 98 passing yards without a touchdown in a loss to the Jets. Mayo stated that he will "always reserve the right to do something else" and is "always going to do what's best for the organization," per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald, but the Patriots aren't ready to turn to rookie first-round pick Drake Maye yet given the shoddy performance of the team's offensive line. Brissett will get another chance to line up under center during Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins at home.

Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Commits two turnovers in loss
Jacoby Brissett completed 19 of 32 pass attempts for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding three rushing yards and a lost fumble on two carries in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers.Brissett earned head coach Jerod Mayo's vote of confidence prior to Sunday's lopsided loss, but three fumbles (one lost) and a pick-six might have the veteran back on the hot seat. The two-time Patriot has provided just two touchdowns against two turnovers through four starts with the club that initially drafted him in 2016. Even if Brissett remains the starter for a 1-3 New England squad, he doesn't inspire confidence as a fantasy option against the Dolphins in Week 5.

Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Remains starting QB
Speaking to the media Friday, coach Jerod Mayo said Jacoby Brissett will remain New England's starting quarterback, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.After going 12-for-18 passing for 98 scoreless yards and failing to lead a touchdown drive, Brissett was pulled from Thursday night's eventual loss to the Jets late in the fourth quarter with the team down 24-3. First-round rookie Drake Maye played the final 4:24 of the game and went 4-for-8 for 22 yards. After Brissett absorbed five sacks, Maye took another two. Neither quarterback stands much of a chance behind New England's bottom-barrel offensive line that was missing a pair of starters versus New York. Brissett sounds like he'll be under center for Week 4 against San Francisco.

Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Benched late in Week 3 loss
Jacoby Brissett completed 12 of 18 passes for 98 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the New England Patriots' 24-3 loss to the Jets on Thursday night. He was replaced by Drake Maye with 4:24 remaining in the game.Brissett's final numbers, which also included five sacks taken, tell the tale of how difficult a night it was for the Patriots offense. The veteran signal-caller hasn't averaged more than 5.5 yards per attempt in any of his first three contests, but due to the fact New England's Week 4 matchup on Sunday, Sept. 29 involves a visit to the 49ers, Brissett could get the call over the inexperienced Maye for that daunting assignment.
