New England Patriots QB Mac Jones likely will miss multiple games with severe high ankle sprain, sources say

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has suffered what doctors diagnosed as a severe high ankle sprain that would cause many to have surgery, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Jones is likely to miss multiple games, the sources said, and he and the Patriots still are discussing his options and the best way to proceed.

Jones, who suffered the sprain in Sunday's 37-26 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, deflected questions on his timetable for recovery when asked about it earlier Monday.

In a videoconference with reporters from the Patriots' facility, Jones repeated the words "day by day" or "day to day" nine times.
