Hoyer has the most experience in the Patriots offense. Stidham has youth and potential, having beaten out Hoyer as a rookie last season to be Bradys No. Belichick said using multiple quarterbacks could lend itself to different formations.

DALLAS – Three months into the coronavirus outbreak in Texas, black lawmakers say Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and state health officials have fallen short in addressing their pleas for better racial data and efforts to decrease COVD-19's decidedly deadly toll on black Americans. Texas has struggled to track racial health disparities. But with so much of that data completed as “unknown,” the actual number of black cases could be much higher than the state’s. Rep. James White, the only black Republican in the Legislature, said collecting racial data is necessary to respond to the pandemic.
