Patriots’ Mac Jones and Bill Belichick decline to discuss details of reported ‘serious’ ankle injury

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones declined to speak specifics with the media on Monday after suffering what reports are calling a sprained ankle in Sunday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Jones began his presser by deferring all questions about his injury to head coach Bill Belichick but added that his status is « day to day ».

« I take it day by day and make sure everything is okay. Honestly, all injury questions are Coach Belichick’s thing, so I’m not here to answer them, » Jones said. .

« I appreciate everyone reaching out and watching over me, but it’s kind of an everyday thing. I’m just trying to improve myself. »

On his final throw in Sunday’s 37-26 loss, Jones was hit hard by Baltimore defensive lineman Calais Campbell who also landed on his left ankle in the process. Jones immediately flared up in pain but could not put weight on the leg.
