Bill Belichick woke up Monday morning without an update on Mac Jones’ back injury.
The Patriots announced after Sunday’s season-opening loss to the Dolphins that Jones suffered a back injury, but there remain no details on how the quarterback was hurt or the severity of the injury. Belichick said that Jones flew back with the team from Miami, but offered no clarity beyond that.
“We’ll take a look at it today,” the Patriots coach said. “It has nothing to do with Mac. Just in general, where players are immediately after the game and where they are, let’s call it 18 hours after the game is often quite different. I know everybody’s hungry for an up to the second update, but honestly the best way to handle these situations is always to give a little time, see what happens, run whatever tests or analysis need to be run and then go from there. So that’s what we always do. That’s what we’re going to do in this case. That’s what we’re going to do in every other case with every other injury.
