\u201cWe’re on to Cincinnati\u201d has some new competition when it comes to Bill Belichick’s press conference catchphrases.<\/p>\n

Belichick repeatedly described quarterback Mac Jones’ status as \u201cday by day\u201d when speaking to reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSaw Mac a little while ago,\u201d Belichick said. \u201cDefinitely getting better. Probably won’t practice today, but made a lot of progress here in the last 48 hours. So, keep plugging away and take that day by day and see how it goes. That’s where we are for today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones reportedly has a \u201cpretty severe\u201d high ankle sprain and is evaluating his options as to how to treat it before establishing a timeline to get back on the field.<\/p>\n

Belichick later said, \u201cHe’s getting better day by day. We’ll see how he is tomorrow. He’s a lot better than he was yesterday. We’ll see what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Belichick was asked if Jones was to have a procedure and simply repeated, \u201cDay by day,\u201d smiling at one point.<\/p>\n

In response to another question about Jones’ ankle injury, Belichick said, \u201cWhat do I look like? A doctor? An orthopedic surgeon? I don’t know. Talk to the medical experts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team doctors, of course, are not readily available to media. So when Belichick was asked what the medical experts have told him, he replied, \u201cDay by day. We’ll evaluate him day by day. I mean, what difference does it make to me? You think I’m going to read the MRI? That’s not my job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Belichick did confirm that if Jones is unable to play this week against the Packers, Brian Hoyer would start at quarterback.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe knows [the offense] better than anybody. I mean, from an overall experience standpoint,\u201d Belichick said. \u201cThis year is this year. But, yeah, Brian’s had a lot of experience. He’s been in a lot of different systems. He’s seen a lot of football. Taken a lot of snaps for us in various capacities. Thought he played well in the preseason. If we need him to go, he’ll be ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Hoyer has spent the majority of his career with the Patriots, he’s started just one game for the team \u2014 in 2020. He’s appeared in 75 games with 39 starts, 16 of which came for his hometown Browns between 2013-2014.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
