The Patriots cornerback group reportedly took another hit on Thursday.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Patriots defensive back Marcus Jones suffered a torn labrum during Sunday’s loss to the Dolphins and will be placed on injured reserve.
Because of his IR designation, Jones will miss at least four weeks of action.
Jones, who recorded five tackles and a fumble recovery in his two games so far this season, left New England’s eventual 24-17 loss to Miami in the second quarter. The 24-year-old corner injured his shoulder while attempting to tackle Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, eventually making his way off the field with the training staff.
