Jack Jones is expected to be available to play in the Patriots home opener against the Eagles on Sunday, Patriots coach Bill Belichick told reporters on Wednesday.
Jones, who was facing weapons charges after authorities said a pair of guns were found in his luggage at Logan Airport in June, reached a deal with the Suffolk district attorney’s office on Tuesday.
Jones was placed on probation and has agreed to do 48 hours of community service in exchange for the charges being dropped.
While it appears his legal status has been settled, the possibility of the NFL punishing Jones hasn’t been ruled out.
