"I think I'm doing well. Just trying to get better and get my treatment. Day by day," Mac Jones answers with a laugh. "It does feel pretty good. I'm going to get my treatment right now and be ready to go." https://t.co/U1IeYsSSXh
Jones is still recuperating from a high ankle sprain but has been able to practice in a limited fashion late this week. Jones believes he is ready to play, but we all know head coach Bill Belichick will make the final decision.
What makes the decision all the more difficult is that third-string quarterback Bailey Zappe, who took over for backup Brian Hoyer when he suffered a concussion versus the Green Bay Packers, has played well. Some might even say he has outplayed Jones. Belichick might decide to give Zappe another start just to make sure that Jones is 100% healthy and ready to return as starting QB.
The Patriots will host the Chicago Bears on Monday night football this week. The Patriots are 7.5-point favorites (-115) in this contest and are -405 on the money line. The game has an over/under of 39.5, over (-112), and under (-108). You can find the lines and props for this game and all others on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
