Mac Jones Expects To Be Ready For Monday's Game
2 years agoNew England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) expects to be available for the Week 7 game against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, according to sources. Jones has been sidelined the last three games with a severe left high-ankle sprain, but he's told teammates his recovery has progressed, with his final hurdle to be cleared in practice. Head coach Bill Belichick continues to deflect questions on Jones' status. Rookie Bailey Zappe has gone 2-0 in his first two NFL starts and has gone 51-for-70 for 596 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in 11 quarters of play. Jones went 1-2 and went 64-for-97 for 786 yards, two TDs and five interceptions in his three games played. The Pats are fully expected to go back to Jones as their starter when they feel he's ready, but it remains to be seen if that will come on Monday.
