FOXBOROUGH — There’s never a good time for a franchise quarterback to get hurt. That’s obvious.
But Mac Jones’ ankle injury comes at a particularly bad time for the Patriots, and if he’s forced to miss weeks, it could put their entire season in jeopardy. The quarterback’s X-rays were negative, but the team is reportedly fearful there’s damage to his ligaments and Jones could land on injured reserve, which means he’d miss at least four games.
That’s a doomsday scenario for the 2022 Patriots.
New England’s early season gauntlet is winding down and they sit 1-2.
