Patriots fans might want to avoid getting their hopes up about a report intended to do just that.
NFL Media’s Mike Giardi on Thursday reported that Jones hadn’t yelled ruled himself out for this Sunday night’s road game against the Green Bay Packers. The news arrived mere days after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that New England’s starting quarterback likely will miss multiple games after suffering a severe high ankle sprain last Sunday.
But Giardi later quoted a Patriots player who didn’t seem convinced that Jones has a chance of playing in Week 4.
