Mac Jones Removed From The Week 2 Injury Report
2 years agoNew England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (back, illness) was removed from the injury report in Week 2 and is expected to start on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. Jones dealt with back spasms after the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins and also missed practice with an illness on Thursday, but he returned to a full practice on Friday and is good to go. The second-year signal-caller went 21-for-30 for 213 yards, one touchdown and an interception in the season opener. Although he won't be facing All-Pro pass-rusher T.J. Watt (pectoral) this weekend, the Steelers defense still has enough firepower to stop the Patriots offense dead in their tracks. The 24-year-old should be considered a low-end QB2 play in superflex leagues, at best.
