Mac Jones injury update: What happened to the Patriots QB?

New England Patriots QB Mac Jones

Mac Jones suffered an ankle injury in the closing stages of the Patriots' Week 3 game against the Ravens. The injury occurred when Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell fell on Jones’ leg.

Incidentally, it was the Patriots’ final offensive play of the game and Jones was then seen limping towards the sidelines. The 24-year-old was helped off the field into the changing rooms and looked in major discomfort.

It originally seemed as though Jones would have a lengthy spell on the treatment table. However, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick stated that his quarterback would be 'day-to-day' after the Week 3 defeat.

On Saturday, reports later revealed that Jones sprained his ankle and the injury wasn't as serious as initially perceived.

Jones also practiced with the team on Friday and threw a few passes to gauge his sharpness.

Is Mac Jones playing tonight?

Despite returning to training, Mac Jones will not play against the Green Bay Packers later on Sunday. The quarterback was listed as 'out' when the Patriots released their injury report card.

Jones finished as runner-up for Offensive Rookie of the Year last season. However, he had an underwhelming start to the 2022 NFL season. Despite throwing five touchdowns, he has five interceptions as well.

In Jones' absence this weekend, Brian Hoyer will start for the Patriots at Lambeau Field.
