The Patriots called quarterback Mac Jones — and almost one-quarter of their roster — questionable to play Monday night against the Bears. Jones is recovering from an ankle injury that opened the door for a rookie to shine.
Jones was limited in practice Saturday for the third-straight day. If he can’t go, Bailey Zappe would start in his place for the third week in a row. The first-year player from Western Kentucky has won the two games he started, almost beat the Packers in relief and has a 111.4 passer rating this season.
