Jack Jones, Conor McDermott return to Patriots’ practice; 8 players missing

For the second straight week, Bill Belichick called his players back to Gillette Stadium on Tuesday for an extra day of practice. When they did so, there was plenty of action on the backfields.

Perhaps the biggest news marked the return of cornerback Jack Jones. The 25-year old cornerback landed on the injured reserve after suffering a significant hamstring injury in practice prior to New England’s Week 1 contest.

With his return to the field, the Patriots now have 21 days to activate him to the roster.

In addition to Jones, rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas also returned to the practice fields after missing all of last week while in concussion protocol.
