The Patriots could be getting Mac Jones back for the Monday night matchup with the Bears, according to a recent report.
Jones, who has been out with an ankle injury since the end of a Week 3 loss to the Ravens, “expects to be available” per ESPN reporter Mike Reiss.
While Jones has been on the practice field at times in the last two weeks, New England ultimately went with rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe. Jones, who has been inactive, has watched Zappe lead the Patriots to consecutive wins in his absence.
Whether or not Jones actually ends up on the field on Monday remains to be seen at the team’s practices this week, according to Reiss.
