The New England Patriots got some good news on the Jonathan Jones injury front on Friday.
Jones has been out since August 4 with an undisclosed injury, but according to MassLive’s Karen Guregian, there’s hope that the veteran cornerback will be ready to return by the start of the regular season.
According to a source, per Guregian, Jones’ absence is more of a case of the Patriots being cautious, but overall, he “seems to be ok”.
New England will need him healthy and ready to go on the backend of a defense that’s undergoing a dramatic youth movement.
