Patriots' Bailey Zappe: Returns as backup
Zappe will back up Mac Jones on Sunday against the Eagles after signing with the Patriots' 53-man roster Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The Patriots placed Matt Corral on the exempt/left squad list in a corresponding move, seemingly ending a confusing two-week period where it appeared Zappe and promising rookie Malik Cunningham had both lost the backup job without a clear option for the role on the active roster. Zappe wasn't particularly impressive during the preseason, especially in the team's final game, but the second-year quarterback does have more in-game experience than any of the other options for New England and will likely remain the backup moving forward.

Bailey Zappe: Joins New England's practice squad
Zappe agreed to a deal Wednesday with the Patriots' practice squad, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Zappe had offers to join seven other practice squads but opted to stay with New England. It's a sensible decision for the second-year quarterback. Not only is Zappe already familiar with the Patriots' system, but the only quarterback on the Patriots' 53-man roster at the moment. Mac Jones. Zappe is functionally the backup, while joining another organization's practice squad would have pushed him down to a third-string role at best.
