Report: 'Vast majority' of Patriots' locker room done with Jones
The New England Patriots are yet to announce their plans at quarterback, but it appears Mac Jones no longer has the support of teammates.
The "vast majority" of players in New England are done with Jones, a source told Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald.
Another source told Callahan that at least 80% of the Patriots' locker room has lost faith in the third-year quarterback, with the lack of belief coming from both sides of the ball.
New England benched Jones for the third time this season after he threw an interception on the penultimate drive of last Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
Bailey Zappe took over for Jones and was also picked off, sealing the Patriots' eighth loss of the campaign.
Head coach Bill Belichick said postgame that he took out Jones because he "thought it was time for a change" but declined to discuss his plans at quarterback moving forward, according to Michael Baca of NFL.com.
Jones has thrown the second-most interceptions in the NFL (10) while posting career-worst averages in yards per attempt (6.3) and yards per game (203.1).
The AFC East club is on a bye in Week 11 before going on the road to face the 2-8 New York Giants.
