Jones (ankle), who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lions, is expected to miss a second straight contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Given his doubtful designation, Jones' expected absence Week 5 shouldn't come as much of a surprise to fantasy managers. He'll likely be placed on the Patriots' inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, setting the stage for rookie Bailey Zappe to make first NFL start. Garrett Gilbert has been activated from the practice squad to handle backup duties behind Zappe.
