J.C. Jackson was among three players not making the New England Patriots’ trip to Germany to play the Indianapolis Colts. According to head coach Bill Belichick, however, the veteran cornerback is expected to rejoin his teammates after their return to the United States.
When asked about the issue during a Friday morning press conference in Frankfurt, Belichick said that he “think[s] he’ll be available” again once the team returns home. The Patriots will have a bye following the game against the Colts, and will then visit the New York Giants in Week 12.
