FOXBOROUGH — Mac is back.
Mac Jones was on the field Friday, one day after missing practice with an illness not related to the back injury the quarterback sustained in Miami Sunday.
Jones was spotted stretching and throwing during the portion of practice media was allowed to observe, and receiver Kendrick Bourne said Jones received the majority of work during the session.

Though nothing is guaranteed, Jones appears good to go for Sunday’s game in Pittsburgh — he was a full participant and removed from the injury report — and it’s obviously a positive sign that Jones was able to lead his teammates as they continue preparations.
