MIAMI GARDENS, Fla -- New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones suffered a back injury in Sunday's season-opening 20-7 loss to the Miami Dolphins and required X-rays on it after the game.
The team canceled his scheduled news conference.
Jones finished 21 of 30 for 213 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. He was sacked twice, taking a big hit in the second quarter on a blindside blitz in which he fumbled and the Dolphins returned it for a touchdown.
After the game, Jones walked under his own power to the X-ray room, flanked by Patriots security personnel.
