Sam Darnold isn’t ready to return. The fact that this is newsworthy demonstrates how dire it is for the Panthers.Anytime you want to be hopeful about the Lions, just remember: THEY’RE THE LIONS.They’re the league’s only winless team, but at least 0-17 is out of play.There were no rookie starting quarterbacks leaguewide when the season began.In addition to Pickett, Zappe could be in line to make his first NFL start for the Patriots when they host the Detroit Lions on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass.
Zappe, a fourth-round pick from Western Kentucky, was pressed into service Sunday at Green Bay. Patriots starter Mac Jones was sidelined because of a high-ankle sprain. Backup Brian Hoyer left the game because of a head injury. Zappe threw a touchdown pass in a 10-for-15, 99-yard showing as the Patriots took the Packers to overtime before losing on a field goal as time expired in the 10-minute extra session.
Jones made it back on the practice field Friday. It remains unclear whether he could be a candidate to play this weekend. But the Patriots seemed to feel confident about what they saw from Zappe. They are signing Garrett Gilbert to their practice squad as a potential backup this week.The Patriots perhaps will need to take an aggressive approach on offense Sunday, even if it’s with a quarterback making his first NFL start.
Vikings at 5? LOL.
