Patriots Week 5 injury report: Mac Jones practices, Brian Hoyer absent

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones returned to practice Wednesday, but it's still unclear if he'll return to game action Sunday when the Detroit Lions visit Gillette Stadium for a Week 5 matchup.

Jones suffered a high ankle sprain in the Patriots' Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He didn't play in the team's Week 4 defeat to the Green Bay Packers. Bailey Zappe played most of that Packers loss after backup Brian Hoyer left in the first quarter with a head injury.
