MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is dealing with a new back injury, the team announced after Sunday’s 20-7 season-opening loss at Miami.
Because of the announced back injury, Jones did not sit for a post-game press conference, as required by league rules. He was spotted entering the X-ray room and trainers room at Hard Rock Stadium post-game. According to the NFL Network, Jones’ X-rays were negative.
It’s unknown how or when Jones suffered the injury or what his availability will be for next week’s game at Pittsburgh.
