Jarrett Stidham likely to be out several weeks

The Jarrett Stidham Hype Train has come to a screeching halt.

The ​New England Patriots quarterback has a leg injury's and it's expected to hang around for several weeks.

Per source, the injury to Stidham is a hip and it will be several weeks before he's back to 100%. #Patriots @nflnetwork @AroundTheNFL https://t.co/HX4OUF9PbC

We all know Cam Newton will be the starter here, no matter how beat writers try to spin it that there's a competition. There isn't one, and there never was. The second Cam was on the plane, that job was his.

ANYWAY. The other quarterback on the roster is Brian Hoyer, yep that same one. He'll likely backup Newton until Stidham is ready or until he stops throwing one hundred interceptions like he did during Thursday's practice.

So yeah, about that. A little suspicious that Stidham has an injury the day after stinking up the practice field? I was too. But according to reports, Stidham is actually hurt, and even went to the hospital to have tests done. That's a little extreme to fake, even for Bill Belichick​.
