What Jalen Mills Told Jack Jones About Rookie’s Patriots Suspension

Veteran leadership will be important for Jack Jones moving forward, and Jalen Mills is ready to provide it.

The Patriots last week suspended the rookie cornerback, reportedly due to Jones being late to — and missing — rehab sessions for the knee injury he suffered in Week 14. Subsequent reports indicate Jones “talked back” Bill Belichick over the situation, leading to a team meeting in which Belichick made an example of the 2022 fourth-round pick.

During Monday’s season-ending media availability, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald asked Mills for his thoughts on Jones’ suspension.
