Pats' Mac Jones picks up back injury in Week 1
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones suffered a back injury in the team's Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
What It Means:
The Pats took Jones in for X-rays shortly after the conclusion of Sunday's game, and reported that he is dealing with a back injury. Hopefully the second-year quarterback will be able to recover quickly as the team prepares for a Week 2 tilt with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jones and the Patriots offense struggled in Week 1, managing just 213 passing yards on 21 completions while throwing 1 touchdown and an interception. Brian Hoyer would be the most likely backup if Jones is forced to miss any time.
