Why Swagu has no doubt the Packers will defeat the Patriots (0:44)

Marcus Spears believes that with the growth of the Packers' offense, they will be able to take care of business at home against the Pats. There is a time and a place.

Mac Jones did not play in Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers despite appearing at the start of practice Friday.

According to sources, Jones is likely to miss a lot of games due to a high ankle injury that will require surgery. Jones was injured when Campbell landed on him.

Brian Hoyer, who has 14 years of experience, will start in place of Jones.

The coach repeated multiple times that the team was taking it one day at a time. "That will be a decision made by the medical people, in consultation with Mac, of course."

It is a coach's decision if a player is less than 100 percent but still plays. But that didn't seem to be the case with Jones, who barely moved or stepped into any throws in the limited time he was on the field.

Since the 2016 season, the 36 year old has lost his past 11 starts, but the coach is still confident in him.

He knows more about the offense than anyone else. He has had a lot of experience and has taken a lot of snaps for us. He did well in the preseason.

In the preseason, he was 13 of 18 for 136 yards with one touchdown and zero turnovers.

You don't want anyone to be hurt. We all know that Mac wants to be out there. I want you to support him, but also be ready to play in the same way. The nature of the job is that.

Bailey Zappe, a fourth-round draft pick out of Western Kentucky, will become the second quarterback.

The Packers have the longest active winning streak in the league at 14 games, and they will be without starting defensive tackle Lawrence Guy and backup offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste.
