FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Scans on New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones' back came back «normal,» a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
The back injury is not thought to be serious, according to the source, but the team will continue to monitor how Jones is feeling this week before Sunday's road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jones experienced back spasms, according to the source. Sources said Jones felt notably better upon his return to Massachusetts on Sunday night, and then Monday morning, compared to immediately after the team's20-7 season-opening loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Jones had his postgame news conference canceled and the team announced he had a back injury. Coach Bill Belichick confirmed that Jones returned home with the team.
