Patriots playmaker doesn’t know when he’ll play both WR and DB again

Few players have made an impact in their rookie season quite like defensive back Marcus Jones did last year as a two-way player.

A 2022 All-Pro selection as a punt returner, the New England Patriots playmaker scored a touchdown on offense as a receiver, on defense as a cornerback and on special teams.

But heading into his second NFL season, it’s unclear when the Patriots may lean on his versatility again. So far in camp, Jones has taken reps at defensive back and as a punt returner. He’s yet to be spotted on offense in any open practices this year.
