The New England Patriots have decided to stick with Mac Jones as their starting quarterback despite his struggles this season. Head coach Bill Belichick confirmed that Jones will start in the upcoming game against the Raiders. However, the team has also signed Malik Cunningham as a backup quarterback, adding depth to the position. Cunningham, previously on the practice squad, has shown improvement and will have his role determined on a week-to-week basis. The Patriots hope that these moves will provide a spark to their struggling offense and turn their season around.

Patriots backup QB/WR/ST Malik Cunningham just walked onto the field with the rest of the team's returners. He's back to return kicks with Ty Montgomery and Rhamondre Stevenson.
The thought process on rookie Malik Cunningham serving as Mac Jones' backup today, per source: It's an upside play with Cunningham's athleticism. The risk is that he turns the ball over, which the Patriots have already been doing.
Undrafted rookie Malik Cunningham goes from playing primarily WR on the scout team to backup QB. The Patriots show once again how little they think of Bailey Zappe.
