Jones isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Giants, Mike Reiss and Dan Graziano of ESPN.com report.
The report suggests that most of New England's starters aren't expected to take the field Thursday, and if that's the case, look for Jones to get some action in versus Carolina on Friday, Aug. 19. For their preseason opener, the Patriots are expected to focus on evaluating rookies and backups vying for roster spots, which likely sets the stage for rookie fourth-round pick Bailey Zappe to see plenty of action behind veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer.
