FOXBORO -- The Patriots have rifled through No. 3 quarterbacks throughout the past year, but head coach Bill Belichick seems sold on the team's news third-stringer. Including Brian Hoyer, who was released in March, the Patriots have had nine quarterbacks on their roster in the past year. Nathan Rourke, who was claimed off waivers from the Jaguars early last week, is Mac Jones' and Bailey Zappe's latest backup. He's spent two weeks of practice with the Patriots now.
