Report: Jonathan Jones, who has missed two weeks of practice, is expected to be ready for season opener

Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones has missed practice for the last two weeks.

It’s because of an undisclosed injury, according to MassLive’s Karen Guerigian.

According to Guerigian, the Patriots are being “careful” with Jones’s recovery process and expect him to be ready for the Patriots’ season opener at Gillette Stadium on September 10th.

Jones is a key piece of the Patriots’ secondary and has spent a large part of his training camp opposite rookie Christian Gonzalez on the outside at cornerback.

The eight-year veteran played in 16 games, made 69 tackles, and had four interceptions last season.
