Bill Belichick didn’t shed any extra gentle on the ankle damage Patriots quarterback Mac Jones suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
“No update on him,” Belichick mentioned throughout a video convention Monday morning. “We’ll go through the process and see where things are this morning. Nothing definitive at this point.”
Jones was harm on the staff’s remaining play within the fourth quarter throughout the 37-26 loss to the Ravens after taking successful from Calais Campbell.
Jones, who was picked off for the third time within the sport on the play, went straight to the locker room, and didn’t handle the media.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Jones is believed to have suffered a excessive ankle sprain. Belichick wouldn’t affirm that report, or say whether or not he anticipated Jones happening injured reserve.
“Until I get more information, I’m not going to speculate wildly on what it would or wouldn’t be,” mentioned Belichick.
Per experiences, Jones is scheduled to bear an MRI on Monday. X-rays taken after Sunday’s sport returned adverse, in response to a number of experiences.
A excessive ankle sprain would seemingly sideline Jones for a number of weeks and probably transfer him to injured reserve. If he’s positioned on IR this week, the soonest Jones may return could be Oct. 30 on the Jets. Either method, veteran backup Brian Hoyer now seems primed to begin subsequent Sunday’s sport at Green Bay.
Belichick was requested about veteran backup Brian Hoyer, who would seemingly take over if Jones misses any time.
“I think Brian’s got a lot of experience in the offense,” was all Belichick provided.
On rookie Bailey Zappe’s progress?
“He’s gotten a lot better,” mentioned Belichick.
