Placed on IR
Published: 2023-09-09
Jones (hamstring) was placed on the Patriots' injured reserve Saturday, Evan Lazar of the team's official website reports.
No surprise here, as Jones' hamstring injury was expected to keep him sidelined a couple weeks. His placement on IR means he will now have to sit out at least four weeks, so the earliest he can return is Week 5.

Jones (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Week 1 and is expected to be sidelined multiple games, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Given the expectation of multiple games missed, a trip to injured reserve is a possible outcome for Jones. When healthy, he is projected to provide depth at corner, as well as contribute on special teams for New England.
Ruled out for Week 1

Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's opener against the Eagles, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official website reports.
Jones was limited Wednesday but downgraded to DNP for Thursday's practice and needs further testing on the injured hammy. Marcus Jones and Shaun Wade will need to pick up the slack behind first-round rookie Christian Gonzalez and Jonathan Jones at cornerback.
Needs further testing on hamstring

Jones (hamstring) was unable to practice Thursday or Friday and is scheduled to undergo additional testing, putting his status for Sunday's season opener against the Eagles in doubt, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Coach Bill Belichick was optimistic about Jones' availability Wednesday, but he acknowledged Friday that those expectations have changed with Jones unable to practice the past two days and set for follow-up tests on the hamstring injury he suffered Wednesday. Jones had also been dealing with gun charges stemming from an arrest in June, but those were dropped Tuesday and aren't expected to affect the cornerback's availability.
Expected to play

Jones should play Sunday, according to head coach Bill Belichick, Mike Kadlick reports.
Jones' status was in question due to gun charges he was facing from a mid-June incident. However, with those charges officially dropped on Tuesday, the second-year pro is expected to take the field Week 1 against the Eagles.
Charges dropped

Jones, who was arrested in mid-June while carrying two firearms, had all charges dropped by the Suffolk County District Attorney on Tuesday, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports.
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Jones agreed to serve 40 hours of community service with inner-city youth for the charges to be dropped. The Patriots won't release an official statement Tuesday, but head coach Bill Belichick is scheduled to speak with the media Wednesday. Earlier in training camp, Belichick said Jones, who recorded 30 tackles and two interceptions as a rookie in 2022, would be competing for a starting role after the addition of first-round pick Christian Gonzalez.
In line to practice

Jones is slated to practice with the Patriots at the start of training camp, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
"Jack will be out there," coach Bill Belichick noted of the cornerback, who last month pleaded not guilty to gun charges stemming from a June incident at Boston's Logan Airport. "It's a legal situation that I can't comment on that is ongoing," Belichick added. The 2022 fourth-rounder -- who recorded 30 tackles and two interception in 13 games last year -- is expected to compete for a starting role in his second NFL campaign.
Arrested on weapons charges

Jones was arrested Friday after two firearms were found in his travel luggage at Logan International Airport in Boston, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
The Patriots announced in a statement that they are aware of the 25-year-old's arrest and are in the process of gathering more information surrounding the incident. Jones, a 2022 fourth-round pick out of Arizona State, is scheduled for arraignment next week in East Boston District Court and faces charges of possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of the airport, possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm and possession of a large-capacity feeding device. As a rookie last season, the cornerback played in 13 games (two starts) and tallied 30 tackles, two interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Participates in OTAs

Jones (knee) has been participating the Patriots' OTAs, Chris Mason of MassLive reports.
Per the report, Jones, who suffered a bone bruise in his right knee back in December, got "a lot of run" at boundary cornerback as the Patriots held their first open session of the spring. The 25-year-old logged 30 tackles (25 solo) and two interceptions in 13 games last season and will now compete for playing time in what's become a crowded secondary.
