Lions to battle the Patriots Sunday, quarterback position still not set for New England

FOXBORO, MA (WKZO AM/FM) – The Detroit Lions head to Foxboro Sunday to square off with the New England Patriots.

Detroit has dropped two in-a-row to slip to 1-and-3 on the season.  The Pats also enter the game at 1-and-3.

New England is closer to figuring out who they will start at quarterback Sunday against the Lions.  New England placed veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer on injured reserve Thursday because of a concussion.

Second-year signal caller Mac Jones was limited during practice as he continues to work his way back from a high-ankle sprain.

If Jones is unable to play, Bailey Zappe, a fourth round pick out of Western Kentucky, will start this week’s game.
