New England Patriots cornerback Marcus Jones has been dealing with a hip injury that has kept him out of practice the entire week.
The team has depended on him to handle the slot duties in the defensive backfield, along with serving as a primary punt returner. He's an electric playmaker with the ball in his hands, and it has shown in his ability to get the offense in good field position consistently.
On the defensive side of the ball, he has emerged as one of the key contributors at corner for a Patriots team that has struggled throughout the year in slowing down opposing offenses.
