Mac Jones Feeling 85-90 Percent Healthy
2 years agoNew England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) is reportedly back to feeling 85 to 90 percent as far as his health goes. The second-year quarterback is also reportedly willing to play through injury. At this point, it doesn't seem like the Patriots would bring back Jones unless he is 100 percent healthy. Rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe has performed admirably while taking over due to injuries. The 23-year-old is currently 2-0 as the Patriots starter, and his success has even sparked some debate about who will continue as the starter moving forward. However, most would call this an overreaction, as New England would most likely want to continue with their first-round investment who impressed during his rookie year over a fourth-round pick with a three-game sample size in the NFL. Jones is currently questionable for this week, but fantasy managers should expect him back by Week 8 or 9 based on Zappe's ability as a fill-in.
