If the New England Patriots are to pull off a monumental upset of the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, they’ll have to do so without one of their top playmakers available.
The Patriots on Friday ruled out cornerback Marcus Jones for the contest. A steady defender, Jones also got a chance to show his skill set on the other side of the ball in recent weeks. He took a pass 18 yards in his only offensive snap against the Cardinals and the Bills surely remember Jones’ 48-yard touchdown reception against them two seasons ago.
The only other player the Patriots ruled out for the Week 16 matchup was third-string running back JaMycal Hasty.
