Once the sport was properly out of attain Jones was pulled in favor of back-up quarterback Bailey Zappe, who didn’t make the preliminary 53-man roster and frolicked on the apply squad earlier than ultimately incomes again his spot as Jones’ understudy. O’Brien praised the second-year sign caller, saying he’s improved loads over the previous month.

“I thought when he got into the game he did some good things,” O’Brien stated. “Obviously the game was not very close at that point in time but he did some good things and for him that’s definitely something to build on and he’s a guy that works very hard, a great guy to coach.”
