The new england patriots were unlucky this season due to injuries, including losing marcus jones. In week 2 of the patriots’ loss to the miami dolphins, the cornerback suffered a torn labrum when attempting to tackle jaylen waddle. Jones gave a crucial update on his status going into the offseason after being sidelined for almost the entire season. “i’m doing great, taking it day by day.” – jeremy corbett, the author of the book. My body is doing fine. I have faith in the organization. On masslive’s eye on foxborough show, jones said, “i trust the medical staff to deliver me to a place where i can be great for the season and everything else.” “but there are ways and steps to it all, and i need to make sure i’m fully fit for the season,” patriots cornerback marcus jones, who missed the majority of the 2023 season due to a week 2 injury, told @kguregian. Eye on foxborough with jones is a full show that airs on wednesday.
Lauren campbell (@lalalaurrren) (@twitter.com/uw3k3nnyrr) february 19, 2024 jones remained on the ground in clear pain after the game, and trainers rushed over to assist him. He was eventually aided up and was able to walk over to the sidelines with him. Bill belichick came over to check on him as he stepped to the blue medical tent. He stayed in the tent, but emerged and went to the locker room later that day. Jones was downgraded to out after halftime, though he was initially expected to return with a shoulder injury. Jones was not only a key player on the defensive team, but also on special teams, as the primary punt returner.
Since being drafted by the patriots in the third round of the 2022 nfl draft, he has made a name for himself. Jones returned a game-winning punt return against the new york jets in week 1, as well as an offensive touchdown in week 13 against the buffalo bills and a defensive touchdown (pick-six) against the cincinnati bengals in week 16. But after a season of recovery, he seems to be able to move. Jones said, “i’m locked in,” according to masslive’s karen guregian. “i’m going to make sure my body is doing fine and everything else like that,” he said. I definitely want to be out there with my brothers. I’m going to take care of every opportunity that comes up, every shot, and every meeting. I’m going to get back to it in 2024, says the author.
