Patriots cornerback Jack Jones will reportedly not need to miss time during New England’s joint practices with the Packers this week.
Jones was originally scheduled to appear in East Boston District Court on Friday afternoon for a probable cause hearing in the wake of his June arrest at Logan Airport.
But according to NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry, Jones’ probable cause hearing has been pushed to Friday, Sept. 15. Perry added that Jones is with his teammates in Green Bay, and is expected to practice this week.
Legal expert Michael McCann tweeted on Tuesday evening that Jones’ court hearing being pushed back could signal that a plea deal is being hashed out.
