It's easy, and only takes a few moments.On the basis of last infos there is a reasonable (though optimistic) chance JB plays week 3 (backed up by JG) and JG plays week 4. If this holds true later today, I guess the roster move would be bringing a QB today to the practice squad.
Some med specs say you can play through this injury but you risk possible long term problems.
My belief is JG wakes up in pain and swollen. His first thought is “ouch“ (or his private version of it) immediately followed by “I want to play“. So the reality and timing of this will be determined not only by doctors and coaches but by Jimmy's balance of enormous eagerness to play and rationale of possible future damage.
many threads existing and speculating ... but maybe we should start today from this point ...
this goes in sync with latest reports/med specs of 1-2 weeks or just pain management
I hope we see Jimmy shine once more this year!

"I’m not sure exactly what the situation is going to be, I think a lot of that will be determined later today relative to Jimmy’s whole situation and what it’s going to be. I’m sure if he can’t play or back up, then we’ll be going through that process today"
Josh McDaniels says Patriots' QB plans yet to determined
If jimmy G can't play you need someone to play the position of brisset gets hurt.Good post. I think you are right.
As it relates to the week's traditional preparation and practice schedule before a Thursday game, IIRC BB said that whatever they normally do they move up two days. So if the team practices the game plan on a Wednesday they are getting it today.
I see no way in hell how a QB who was on the couch yesterday can add any value to this Thursday's game.
Brissett starts, Jimmy G is the backup and JE11 and maybe Derby takes some snaps.
I agree. I just don't see that individual adding value. No question being there certainly mitigates the risk.If jimmy G can't play you need someone to play the position of brisset gets hurt.
Purely hypothetical, of course, but if he'd put in three games in a row over the next couple of weeks with numbers vaguely in that range, I doubt very much that they would have been looking to trade him.Garapollo has been incredible. I don't think anyone thought he would be THIS good. Had he not gotten hurt he was headed for a 450 yard, 5 td day and that only would have increased his trade value....or made it easier to trade.....
and here a great read of the whole interview
plus some credit to BB being always ready ... remember the ? on this forum after he drafted QB?
