The New England Patriots announced they have placed cornerback Marcus Jones on injured reserve on Friday afternoon.
Jones had already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers after also missing last week's game against the Buffalo Bills due to a hip injury.
He was having a career year with 58 total tackles, 10 pass deflections, a fumble recovery and an interception. He has also managed to prove his worth on the offensive side of the football, as well as on special teams. The third-year cornerback/return man has a catch for 18 yards and a return average of 14.
