Mac Jones’ sophomore season with the New England Patriots has been far different than his rookie campaign.
For one, the quarterback is dealing with a high ankle sprain that’s sidelined him for the Patriots’ last three games. And two, Bailey Zappe has performed well in Jones’ absence, creating some debate as to whether there’s a QB controversy brewing in New England.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported Sunday — before the Patriots’ Week 6 win over the Browns in Cleveland — that Jones’ relationship with the organization has gone “sideways” in recent months, starting with Josh McDaniels’ departure as New England’s offensive coordinator.
