Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has been diagnosed with a severe high-ankle sprain and is likely to miss multiple games, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The official diagnosis confirmed New England’s fears that arose late in Sunday’s 37–26 loss to the Ravens. The injury could require surgery, per Schefter, but the team and the second-year quarterback are still discussing the best way to move forward.
Jones, whose initial X-rays came back negative, sustained the severe sprain on a hit from Baltimore defensive end Calais Campbell. The 24-year-old hopped off the field in noticeable pain and was unable to put any weight on his left ankle. He was eventually assisted back to the locker room while looking visibly upset.
