Mac Jones, Patriots Offense Struggling In Camp

New England Patriots second-year quarterback Mac Jones and the offense continue to struggle in training camp this summer.

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will play one to two series in the preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles this week.

Kellen Mond Has Struggled At Camp

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kellen Mond has struggled at training camp and has thrown interceptions consistently.
