Brian Hoyer out with head injury, Bailey Zappe makes NFL debut

Brian Hoyer Bailey Zappe Patriots New England Patriots

It’s Bailey Zappe time for the New England Patriots with backup quarterback Brian Hoyer officially out of Sunday’s game with a head injury.

The hits just keep on coming for the Patriots considering they were already playing without Mac Jones (ankle) in this matchup. For Zappe, the degree of difficulty is out of this world considering he’s facing an aggressive Green Bay Packers defense on the road at Lambeau Field.

Hoyer’s injury comes at a time when the league is really trying to clean things up regarding head injuries in the aftermath of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s scary injury on Thursday night.

So Zappe gets thrown into the fire in an effort to help save the Patriots from falling to 1-3 on the season.
