J.C. Jackson will miss the Patriots matchup with the Colts in Germany on Sunday, according to Ian Rapport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Media.
“With questions about his reliability, the decision was made to have him stay home, get through the bye and return in a better place,” wrote Rapoport.
Jackson and fellow cornerback Jack Jones began last Sunday’s game against Washington on the bench. He wound up playing 53 snaps in the game, which was more than he played the previous week at Miami.
Bill Belichick told reporters after the game that Jackson and Jones were not benched.
