The New England Patriots could be without starting quarterback Mac Jones when they travel to Green Bay on Sunday to take on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, but much of their game plan will remain relatively the same regardless of who steps in, quarterbacks coach Joe Judge said Tuesday. 

Jones is believed to have suffered a severe high ankle sprain that could require surgery after absorbing a hard hit from Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Calais Campbell, who fell on Jones' ankle in the process, during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 37-26 loss, according to multiple reports.

On Monday, both Jones and head coach Bill Belichick declined to talk about the specifics of his injury and a possible timetable for return. According to ESPN, the Patriots are still discussing their options.

In his absence, the Patriots will likely rely on veteran backup quarterback Brian Hoyer to take over – a decision that Judge seemingly feels confident with. 

"Brian’s done a really good job for us," Judge told reporters on Tuesday. "One thing Brian always does – whether it's in practice or in games – he’s always engaged, he’s always ready with a lot of good conversations on the sideline. He’s very engaged, looking at the tablets, communicating on the sideline things he may see or things that may come up."
