After a week of speculation, it turns out Mac Jones won’t play in Week 4.
The Patriots officially listed their starting quarterback as out for Sunday’s game against the Packers due to the ankle injury he suffered in Week 3 against the Ravens.
Jones was on the practice field Friday after missing the last two practices. However, Jones was listed as a non-participant on the Patriots’ final injury report of the week.
In addition to Jones practicing on Friday, some reports built up optimism that he could play on Sunday. Jones was telling teammates not to count him out and he was involved in the game-planning as if he could play, the NFL Network’s Mike Giardi reported Thursday.
