GARRETT GILBERT NEWS

Moves back to practice squad Gilbert reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday.

Impact Gilbert was activated for game day for the second week in a row Sunday, as starting quarterback Mac Jones was unable to return from a high ankle sprain suffered in Week 3. As a result, the 31-year-old Gilbert once again served as New England's backup quarterback behind Bailey Zappe with Brian Hoyer (concussion) out on IR. Gilbert is now eligible for one more elevation from New England's practice squad this season.

Returns to roster for Week 6 The Patriots elevated Gilbert from the practice squad Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact New England's decision to move Gilbert up from the practice squad for the second week in a row implies that fellow quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) -- who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns -- is unlikely to play. Assuming Jones ends up on the inactive list Sunday, Gilbert will remain the Patriots' backup quarterback behind rookie fill-in starter Bailey Zappe.

Returns to practice squad Gilbert reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday.

Impact Gilbert signed with New England's practice squad last Tuesday and served as the team's emergency backup for Bailey Zappe after being activated ahead of Sunday's win over Detroit. However, the 31-year-old signal-caller's services were never required as the Patriots' offense rolled over the Lions in this 29-0 win. Gilbert could see similar usage over the next two weeks if starting quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) and usual backup Brian Hoyer (concussion) remain sidelined due to injury.

Gets bumped to active roster The Patriots elevated Gilbert on Saturday from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's game against he Lions.

Impact With Mac Jones (ankle) and Brian Hoyer (concussion) dealing with injuries, Gilbert returned to the Patriots' practice squad earlier this week and will likely operate as the primary backup to rookie fourth-round pick Bailey Zappe in Week 5. The 31-year-old Gilbert has had two previous stints with New England's practice squad, but he's never appeared in a game for the Patriots. However, he has made eight NFL appearances with four different teams.

Joins New England's practice squad The Patriots are expected to sign Gilbert to the practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Gilbert spent most of the 2021 campaign on the Patriots' practice squad but signed with Las Vegas in March. However, he was released in May and will return to New England as insurance while Mac Jones (ankle) and Brian Hoyer (concussion) are dealing with injuries. Gilbert has appeared in eight regular-season NFL games, completing 43 of 75 passes for 477 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Moves to third on depth chart Gilbert is expected to serve as Washington's No. 3 quarterback for the remainder of the season after the Football Team activated Taylor Heinicke (illness) and Kyle Allen (illness)...

Impact Since Washington signed Gilbert off the Patriots' practice squad last Friday shortly after Heinicke and Allen were placed on the list, Gilbert will at least retain a permanent spot on the 53-man roster, unless the Football Team elects to waive him at some point to add depth at another position. Despite having little time to get up to speed with his new team's playbook, Gilbert acquitted himself well by playing mistake-free football in his spot start Tuesday against the Eagles. He completed 20 of 31 attempts for 194 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in the Football Team's 27-17 loss.

Impact The journeyman certainly held his own in the emergency start, but he wasn't able to make enough impact plays to overcome some stellar individual performances by multiple Eagles. Gilbert also unsurprisingly relied heavily on dump-off passes to Antonio Gibson and Ricky Seals-Jones, who accounted for half his 20 completions 14 of his 31 pass attempts. Gilbert could have a good chance of at least serving as the No. 2 quarterback for the Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday night, considering one of Taylor Heinicke or Kyle Allen may still be in COVID-19 protocols for that contest.
