Matt Corral: Not joining Pats' practice squad
Corral won't sign with the Patriots' practice squad, contrary to previous reports, according to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald.
Kyed reported Tuesday that Corral was set to join New England's practice squad after he cleared waivers, but the second-year signal-caller either had a change of heart or the Patriots chose to go in a different direction. Either way, Corral will remain a free agent for now.

Matt Corral: Leaving Pats
New England waived Corral from its exempt/left squad list Monday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
It's still not totally clear why, but Corral was already away from the team more than a week before this move. In any case, he'll now have to look for another chance to stick on an NFL roster elsewhere.

Matt Corral: Let go by New England
Corral (undisclosed) was waived from the Patriots' active roster Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
It's unclear what injury Corral suffered during the week or if it weighed into the decision to waive the second-year signal caller, but it's entirely possible Corral could rejoin the Patriots' practice squad in due time. The Patriots signed Bailey Zappe to the 53-man roster in a corresponding move.

Patriots' Matt Corral: Questionable for Week 1
Corral (not injury-related) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official website reports.
Corral has been in New England for only eight days after being claimed off waivers from the Panthers at initial roster cuts. Bailey Zappe will get the promotion from the practice squad to back up Mac Jones if the team deems Corral not ready.

Patriots' Matt Corral: Week 1 role TBD
Coach Bill Belichick acknowledged Monday that he was unsure whether Corral would be ready to handle the Patriots' No. 2 QB duties in the team's season opener against the Eagles on Sunday, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
The Patriots claimed Corral off waivers from the Panthers this past Thursday, so whether he's ready to assume the top backup role this weekend hinges on the 2022 third-rounder quickly absorbing the team's playbook. With that in mind, it's possible that the Patriots could elevate Bailey Zappe from their practice squad to serve as Mac Jones' Week 1 understudy.

Patriots' Matt Corral: Claimed by New England
The Patriots have claimed Corral off waivers from the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Corral, who was selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, missed his entire rookie campaign after suffering a left foot injury during the preseason, but after being let go by Carolina, he'll now have an opportunity to work behind New England starter Mac Jones. Also in the team's signal-caller mix is 2022 fourth-rounder Bailey Zappe, who was added to the Patriots' practice squad Wednesday.

Matt Corral: Time up in Carolina
Corral was waived by the Panthers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The 2022 third-round pick missed his entire rookie season while recovering from Lisfranc surgery, and by the time Corral recovered, the Panthers had already made a commitment to another young quarterback in 2023 first overall pick Bryce Young. It's possible that another team will take a chance on a healthy Corral's potential and scoop him up, but it's more likely that the former Ole Miss quarterback will have to settle for a practice-squad spot somewhere after clearing waivers.

Panthers' Matt Corral: Extended action in preseason opener
Corral completed 15 of 22 passes for 126 yards and an interception in Saturday's 27-0 preseason loss to the Jets. He also was sacked four times and lost a fumble.
Corral saw rookie No. 1 pick Bryce Young play Carolina's first three drives before he took over for the remainder of the game. After missing his entire rookie season with a foot injury, Corral committed a pair of turnovers while failing to lead the Panthers to any points. With veteran Andy Dalton slated to back up Young, Corral is striving to convince the team to keep a third quarterback ahead of the regular season.
