Report: Patriots quarterback Mac Jones playing against Browns considered ‘highly unlikely’

After already sitting out back-to-back games because of his ankle injury, it appears New England Patriots starting quarterback Mac Jones will also miss this Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. The second-year man participating in the contest is considered “highly unlikely”, according to a report by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Jones, 24, had started the Patriots’ first three games of the season but was slow to get up after the final offensive play of the Week 3 contest against Baltimore. He was later diagnosed with a high ankle sprain — a multi-week issue expected to sideline him for some weeks.
