New England Patriots rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett will reportedly get his second NFL start on Sunday.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Brissett is expected to be under center for the Patriots against the Buffalo Bills.

Schefter also reports that Jimmy Garoppolo, who was a true game-time decision, will be inactive. That likely means Garoppolo is still in too much pain after he suffered a sprained shoulder on a big hit (video here) in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins.
Brissett started for the Patriots last week against the Houston Texans and did enough to lead his team to a 27-0 victory. The Pats hope he can do the same against the Bills with Tom Brady set to return from suspension next week.
