Losing Mac Jones at such a critical juncture of the season is the worst thing that could happen for the New England Patriots. The second-year quarterback has been diagnosed with a “severe” high ankle sprain that may or may not require surgery.
If Jones is out for a significant period of time, backup quarterback Brian Hoyer will likely take up the reins under center. Of course, that’s assuming the team has zero considerations of picking up the phone and making a call to their old pal, Cam Newton.
