The New England Patriots are expected to rest Mac Jones in Friday’s preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans.
It’s a change in approach from last season, when the team trotted their starting quarterback onto the field against the Las Vegas Raiders in the final preseason game. But there are some serious concerns that might thwart any chances of Jones playing another snap before the regular season opener.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported on Thursday that there was “strong consideration” in holding Jones out after the hard hits he took in last week’s game against the Green Bay Packers behind the banged-up offensive line.
