Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that he expects Jones (pectoral) to play Sunday versus the Patriots, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Jones has missed Buffalo's last 10 games due to a pectoral injury he sustained in Week 5 against the Jaguars, but it looks like he'll finally be ready to return in Week 17. He could start on the defensive line Sunday, though he may be on a snap count whether or not he starts.
