The New England Patriots were back on the fields behind Gillette Stadium on Thursday, holding their second practice session in preparation of the upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints. Also part of the action was a new player in a blue No. 29 jersey: J.C. Jackson is officially back.
The Patriots brought the veteran cornerback into the fold earlier that day, acquiring him from the Los Angeles Chargers as part of a late-round draft picks exchange in 2025.
Jackson, of course, started his career in New England before leaving to sign a five-year, $82.
