In the New England Patriots loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, New England quarterback suffered a back injury on a high/low hit. But according to NFL reporter Mike Giardi, Jones feels better and wants to be ready to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers this week.
Jones’ injury status will be something to keep an eye on, especially with the status of Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt up in the air. The Steelers defense hit Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow early and often last week so Jones with a bad back could be a problem for the Patriots.
The Steelers are looking to go 2-0 after their upset win over the Bengals.
Mac Jones said they did all the test and everything was fine, "Yeah, definitely feel better. Yeah, I want to be able to be ready to play against Pittsburgh and I feel good." Said the back injury happened on the roughing the passer call. "Been hit harder before…" #Patriots
