Sophomore cornerback Jack Jones was the lone member of the New England Patriots’ roster not present at practice on Thursday. It appears his absence might not have been a one-off affair.
According to a report by Jeff Howe of The Athletic, Jones is “expected to miss some time” because of the hamstring injury he currently is dealing with.
Jones, 25, got shaken up during Wednesday’s practice. The former fourth-round draft pick was listed as limited on the injury report that day before being a no-show entirely on Thursday. The circumstances surrounding the ailment put his availability for Sunday’s regular season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles very much in doubt.
