New England continues to have health issues in its defensive backfield, with nearly every player dealing with at least one injury or another. The latest involves slot corner Jonathan Jones, who went on the team's injured reserve list Saturday.
During last weekend's game against Dallas, Jones left briefly with what was described at the time as a rib injury. However, throughout this week of practice, Jones did not take part at all due to what was reported by the club as a shoulder issue.
As a result of this move, recent practice squad call-up Myles Bryant could be thrust into more of a role tomorrow versus the Jets.
