NextImg:Bill Belichick Patriots to have Jack Jones vs. Eagles, won’t confirm status beyond Week 1

FOXBORO — With firearms charges dropped against Jack Jones, head coach Bill Belichick expects the Patriots cornerback to be available in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Belichick said he was “not going to get into that” when asked if the NFL has told him whether or not there will be upcoming punishment for Jones.

“Talk to the league,” Belichick said. “See what they have to say. Anything from them would come from them, not from me.”

Jones was arrested in June when Massachusetts State Police officers said they found two pistols in his carry-on bag as he was going through security. Jones agreed to one year of probation and 48 hours of community service to youth and community organizations, presenting the dangers of firearms, firearm safety and the proper handling of firearms, according to the Suffolk County DA’s office.

Even though chargers were dropped, Jones could still receive punishment from the NFL.

Jones finished fifth among Patriots defenders in preseason snaps this summer. He played nearly 40 more snaps than any other player who is expected to be a regular defender in the regular season.

“He’s done a good job,” Belichick said. “He’s been on the field. Played in all of the games, practiced, so, yeah, he’s been out there.”

Jones finished last season, his rookie year, on injured reserve and with a team-issued suspension. The 25-year-old defensive back played 13 games with two starts, two interceptions, a pick-six, fumble recovery, forced fumble, six pass breakups and 30 tackles.

He’s in the mix to start alongside veteran Jonathan Jones and rookie Christian Gonzalez in the Patriots’ defensive backfield. He’ll compete with fellow second-year pro Marcus Jones and Myles Bryant, Shaun Wade and rookie Ameer Speed for defensive snaps.
