Mac Jones might still believe he has a chance to suit up vs. the Green Bay Packers, but a lot will have to change between now and Sunday for that to happen.
The New England Patriots quarterback unsurprisingly missed his second consecutive practice on Thursday. His return timetable remains unclear following his severe high-ankle sprain suffered in New England's Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. If Jones is indeed ruled out, veteran QB Brian Hoyer will get the start.
