New England Patriots cornerback Marcus Jones being placed on injured reserve was confirmed on Friday. The earliest Jones could return to action is Week 7 for a tough divisional matchup against the Buffalo Bills
Jones’ injury is a notable one, given his durability and versatility last season. It’s also a difficult one for a cornerback room that is already lacking additional depth. New England was busy on Thursday, signing rookie Azizi Hearns and veteran Breon Borders to the practice squad. It’s clear that added cornerback depth has been a focus for the team.
