Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will return from injury for Monday night’s game against the Bears, The Athletic’s Jeff Howe.
Jones suffered a high ankle sprain on the final play of New England’s game against the Ravens in Week 3. As a result, the second-year quarterback missed three games while he recovered.
In his stead, rookie Bailey Zappe performed admirably, leading the Patriots to a 2-1 record over the past three weeks. In those games, Zappe totaled 596 passing yards with four touchdowns and one interception, well enough to lead some observers to wonder whether New England had a quarterback controversy.
