After being sent home last week, New England Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson returned to practice on Wednesday.
It’s a step in a positive direction for a Patriots organization still dealing with the fallout from waiving second-year cornerback Jack Jones on Monday.
Along with Jackson, Jones was benched against the Washington Commanders for a portion of the game for behavioral and performance issues. The Patriots initially sent Jackson home, but they allowed Jones to travel with the team to Germany, where things spiraled even further.
Jones ended up being cut by the team, while Jackson is likely on thin ice from here on out.
