Who Should I Start? Jake Fromm or Matt Corral

Tuesday, August 29, 9:42 AM

Quarterback Jake Fromm was informed by the Washington Commanders that he did not make the initial 53-man roster. The former Georgia quarterback played in all three preseason games for Washington, finishing 28-for-41 for 261 yards and three touchdowns. His strong exhibition play included leading a game-winning drive against the Baltimore Ravens. The Commanders opted to keep veteran Jacoby Brissett on the roster to back up starter Sam Howell. If Fromm goes unclaimed on waivers, he's a strong candidate to end up back in Washington and dress for games under the NFL's new rules.

The New England Patriots have signed quarterback Matt Corral to their practice squad, according to beat writer Doug Kyed. Corral was with the Carolina Panthers during the preseason but was released on August 31 before signing with the Pats. New England then waived Corral on September 9 but he ended up clearing waivers, so he's back with the team. Bailey Zappe is the primary backup to Mac Jones while Corral and rookie Malik Cunningham are emergency/practice squad options for New England.
