The Patriots have officially listed second-year quarterback Mac Jones as questionable to play Monday night against Chicago.
Jones has not returned to game action since suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 3. He practiced in a limited capacity this week.
If Jones is inactive for a fourth straight game, the Patriots will once again turn to rookie Bailey Zappe, who has started the past two games. Veteran Brian Hoyer, who started in Week 4 before suffering a concussion, remains on injured reserve.
Coach Bill Belichick has stayed mum on the team’s plans for Monday night, but if Jones is healthy enough to play, he will in all likelihood retake his starting job.
