FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Patriots quarterback Mac Jones returned to practice a day after sitting out with an illness, putting him on track to start New England's game with Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Jones hasn't missed a regular-season start since being drafted No. 15 overall in 2021.
He was a full participant for Wednesday’s practice after suffering a back injury during the Patriots' season-opening loss at Miami. His absence on Thursday marked the first time he had missed a regular-season practice.
Jones said Wednesday that his back was feeling good and he expected to play against Pittsburgh.
