The Patriots’ quarterback room saga continues after the team claimed former Panthers quarterback Matt Corral on Thursday, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
This move comes a day after the Patriots re-signed backup quarterbacks Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham to their practice squad after the team waived them both on Tuesday. It was unclear who would step up to become starter Mac Jones’s backup, but now it sounds like that role may be filled by Corral.

Did Tyreek Hill do it? Yes. Is Tyreek Hill an incredible wideout? Yes.
Case closed.
The NFL will not punish the Miami Dolphins wideout for his role in assaulting a Haulover Marina employee on Father’s Day (June 18).

For the first time in many years, things are looking up for both New York football teams.
The Giants are looking to build on a 9-7-1 season that resulted in the franchise’s first postseason appearance since 2016. The Jets, meanwhile, are adjusting to the good life with new quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
There’s something else, though: the two teams may have a feud to go with their sunny outlooks.
With every NFL season comes an opportunity for teams to achieve immortality by taking home the coveted Lombardi Trophy. But, for nine NFL stars, a Super Bowl ring won’t be the only way they can cement their legacies in 2023.
As the NFL makes its final preparations for Week 1, the highly anticipated kickoff will usher in the march toward career milestones for Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, Derrick Henry, Stefon Diggs, Keenan Allen, Von Miller, Cam Jordan, Calais Campbell and Cordarrelle Patterson.
Competing in a survivor pool is an ideal way to stay engaged with the NFL every week. It doesn’t require the same commitment level as running a fantasy football team or involve any of the intricacies of betting.
It boils down to a rather elementary idea: Pick one winner and advance. Of course, there’s a little more strategy involved than that but that’s the gist of it.
For those new to survivor pools, here’s how it works: Competitors pick one team each week that they expect to win — straight up, not against the spread. If that team is victorious, on to the next week you go.
New England will have a QB2 for Week 1 of the season.
We have wandered to the end of August without resolution of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s appraisal of Stanford, California and SMU as new members. Friday morning, sources tell Sports Illustrated, our long national realignment nightmare should culminate in a formal vote for inclusion or an informal rejection. It’s go or no-go time.
The only proper way to end this thing is with the addition of those schools to the league.
Since the Pac-12 dissolved Aug. 4 in an acidic solution of competitor avarice, TV predation and lousy internal leadership, four schools have been left twisting.

A tick late this week with preseason work I’m getting through—sorry about that. And here’s the mailbag for you …
From Ronnie (@Tray4o): How come Bill Belichick let go both of Mac Jones’s backups? And who is expected to be the Patriots’ backup QB now?
Ronnie, I will say that I think a lot of people acting shocked, or feigning shock in blog posts, probably don’t pay enough attention to these things.
There were two things at work here.
One is that the Patriots needed roster spots to get players to short-term IR.
