One of the early mysteries of Patriots training camp emerged on Thursday when second-year cornerback Jack Jones suddenly departed an 11-on-11 practice drill following a particularly spirited period of play.
Jones gave up a completion to Kendrick Bourne before angrily discarding hand pads that the defensive backs were wearing. He eventually left the field, but later returned on the sideline. Patriots reporters noted that it seemed like he had been kicked out of practice.
On Friday, Patriot cornerbacks coach Mike Pellegrino was asked by ESPN reporter Mike Reiss about what happened with Jones following the play against Bourne.
