Mac Jones missed three weeks with the high ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 3, and made a brief return Monday night against the Chicago Bears.
Bill Belichick has already confirmed that Mac Jones will be “fully available” for the New England Patriots this Sunday which ended any speculation that Bailey Zappe would take over.
According to Mike Giardi of NFL Network, there may be issues as Jones is dealing with numbness in the toes on his left foot as he continues to recover from his ankle injury.
“It didn’t impact Mac’s on-field prep for the Jets,” Giardi tweeted, “but keep an eye on it.”
“He’s ready to do that, so that’s what he needs to prepare for the game and that’s what our offensive unit needs — everybody working together. We’ll get that this week,” Belichick said, via ESPN.
On Monday night, Jones played just three offensive series for New England, completing three of his six passes for 13 yards and an interception. Bailey Zappe replaced Jones and played the rest of the 33-14 New England loss.
