Change has been the one constant in the New England Patriots’ cornerback room this season. The latest example came earlier this week, when the team decided to waive second-year player Jack Jones amid questions about his reliability both on and off the field.
With Jones now in Las Vegas, and with questions also surrounding J.C. Jackson, the Patriots’ depth at the position is again in the spotlight. In turn, head coach Bill Belichick anticipates that the team’s backup options — Alex Austin, Breon Borders and Azizi Hearn — will get an opportunity to showcase themselves over the bye week.
