Arguably the most noteworthy moment of the New England Patriots’ eighth training camp practice on Thursday morning saw Jack Jones leave the session under curious circumstances.
The sophomore cornerback had just broken up a pass intended for wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, but seemed upset following the play. He had a brief chat with his position coach, Mike Pellegrino, before eventually leaving the field. Safety Jabrill Peppers jogged over to talk to his young teammate, but he continued his walk off the field.
Jones remained out of the picture for the next 20 minutes, before surprisingly reemerging.
