Patriots CB coach reveals criticized veteran defender played hurt

New England Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones is finally feeling good health-wise after battling injuries throughout the season.

Jones struggled earlier in the year, but he has looked more like himself in recent outings. Last Sunday, he frustrated Buffalo Bills wideout Khalil Shakir by denying him a touchdown reception and helping to hold him to two catches for only 22 yards.

Not many outsiders were aware of the injuries Jones has been working through, and Patriots cornerbacks coach Mike Pellegrino touched on that subject when speaking with media members.

"You guys don’t see it, but Jon was banged up a lot," Pellegrino said, via ESPN's Mike Reiss.
