New England Patriots cornerback Marcus Jones will be active for training camp as he continues to recover from injury, Bill Belichick said during a press conference on Tuesday.
The Patriots drafted Jones in the third round at 85th overall this April. Since joining the team, he has worn a red jersey, which meant he was limited due to injury during minicamp and OTAs.
Jones comes to New England from Houston, ending a college career that had success. He was named to the 2021 ESPN All-America First Team as a kick returner, and was a 2021 CBS Sports First-Team All-American as an all-purpose player.
