Impresses with leadership
As Jones approaches his second NFL season, the quarterback's increased leadership has caught the eye of his teammates, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: "It's just at another level now," receiver Kendrick Bourne noted of the leadership Jones has displayed this offseason. "He's more comfortable, more confident. He knows what's going on, and the muscle memory is there [from having gone through it] -- OTAs, then camp, and the season. He's just more locked in, more secure in his position." Jones, who Reiss indicates is a candidate to become a team captain in advance of Week 1, is also noticeably thinner these days due to a changed diet, Karen…read more

Overmatched in playoff loss
Jones completed 24 of 38 passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Saturday's 47-17 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: Though New England was overmatched in nearly all aspects of its wild-card matchup, Jones was unable to get the offense moving while the game remained within reach. His play during the first offensive possession was an exception, as he found Hunter Henry for a 30-yard completion and also scrambled for a 16-yard gain. However, he was picked off by Micah Hyde in the end zone to end the rally. After that, positive plays were few and far between, as Jones ended the first half with only 10…read more

Solid in Sunday's loss
Jones completed 20 of 30 passes for 261 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 33-24 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: The rookie had a shaky start to the game, tossing a pick-six to Xavien Howard midway through the first quarter, but Jones shook it off and rallied his team from an early 14-point deficit to get the Patriots within a field goal late in the fourth before the Dolphins scored on a fumble return on New England's final possession. Jones wraps up an impressive rookie campaign with a 67.6 percent completion rate, 22:13 TD:INT and 3,801 passing yards, and he'll lead the Pats into the wild-card round as…read more

Major bounce-back effort in rout
Jones completed 22 of 30 passes for 227 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Patriots' 50-10 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 12 yards.
Analysis: Jones took advantage of a highly favorable matchup to exorcise some recent demons, posting his first interception-free effort in the last three games. The rookie had completed under 60.0 percent of his throws in each of the last two contests as well, but he was accurate early and often Sunday on the way to helping lead three first-half scoring drives. Jones spread the wealth on his touchdown throws, getting little-used Kristian Wilkerson into the end zone from six and 20 yards out and also…read more

Struggles continue in loss to Bills
Jones completed 14 of 32 passes for 145 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 33-21 loss to the Bills. He added 33 yards on six rushing attempts.
Analysis: Jones eclipsed the 19 passing yards he mustered against the Bills earlier this month, but the rookie wasn't much better in this one. He finished the first half just 5-for-13 with 47 yards and an interception, as the Patriots trailed 17-7 heading into the locker room. Damien Harris kept the team in it with three rushing touchdowns, but Jones continued to struggle through the air in the second half, fittingly snuffing out New England's slim comeback hopes with another interception on his final…read more

Erratic in Saturday's loss
Jones completed 26 of 45 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Saturday's 27-17 loss to the Colts. He also gained 12 yards on his lone rush.
Analysis: The Patriots found themselves in a 17-0 hole at halftime, forcing Jones to air it out a lot more than usual. As a result, the rookie attempted at least 40 passes for only the third time this season and came within a yard of his third career 300-yard game. He also made some rookie mistakes however, including his first career red-zone INT. Jones has now eclipsed 3,000 passing yards on the year, and he'll take a solid 18:10 TD:INT into a Week 16 rematch with the Bills that could well wind up…read more

Full practice Tuesday
Updating a previous report, Jones (thumb) was a full practice participant Tuesday, per Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com.
Analysis: Initially, Jones wasn't listed on the Pats' first Week 15 injury report, only to be added later as limited due to a left thumb issue, but his activity level since has been adjusted. With his health not in question, Jones will continue to prepare for Saturday's contest at Indianapolis.

Tending to thumb injury
Jones was limited at Tuesday's practice due to an injury to his left thumb, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports.
Analysis: Jones was a late addition to the Patriots' initial practice report of Week 15 prep. Considering he fit in some activity and the issue is to his non-throwing hand, he likely isn't in danger of sitting out Saturday at Indianapolis. Still, Jones' status will be one to watch to ensure that he's available this weekend.

Throws just three passes in win
Jones completed two of three passes for 19 yards in Monday night's 14-10 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Jones entered Monday coming off a career-high 310 passing yards last week, but extremely windy conditions in Buffalo resulted in New England running the ball almost every play. In fact, Jones began the fourth quarter with just one attempt, then threw passes on back-to-back plays on the Pats' second-last drive. Despite being on handoff duty basically all night, Jones did enough to help clinch a seventh straight victory, sending him into the bye week on a positive note. He'll surely assume a more…read more

Career-high yardage total in win
Jones completed 23 of 32 passes for 310 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-13 win over the Titans. He also rushed twice for 11 yards.
Analysis: Jones set a new career high in passing yards, topping his Week 7 total by three. The rookie quarterback capped New England's first drive with a four-yard touchdown pass to Kendrick Bourne, then added a 41-yard touchdown to Bourne in the third, improving his TD:INT to 16:8. Between Jones' strong play and a dominant defense, the Patriots have quietly emerged as contenders in the AFC, as they'll bring an 8-4 record into a pivotal Week 13 trip to Buffalo.

Efficient, accurate in win
Jones completed 22 of 26 passes for 207 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Patriots' 25-0 win over the Falcons on Thursday night. He also netted one yard on six rushes.
Analysis: The rookie was near perfect in the convincing win, and he impressively connected with nine different pass catchers along the way. Jones ignited the Patriots offense in the first half by capping off a seven-play, 76-yard drive with a 19-yard touchdown throw to Nelson Agholor early in the second quarter, extending his touchdown streak to three games in the process. Jones' command of the offense this early in his career continues to pay off for fantasy managers in all formats, and his next chance…read more

Highly effective in victory
Jones completed 19 of 23 pass attempts for 198 yards and three touchdowns against Cleveland on Sunday.
Analysis: This game turned into a laugher in a hurry, but Jones played impressively for the portion of the contest that was competitive, and Jones' own play was part of the reason why the Patriots generated such a big lead in the first place. He showed more willingness to attack the defense downfield -- something that was lacking in his earlier starts -- and if Jones can maintain that level of aggressiveness, then the whole Patriots offense could graduate to the next tier as a group. It might be tough…read more

Low usage in victory
Jones completed 12 of 18 pass attempts for 139 yards, a touchdown, an interception and a fumble lost in Sunday's 24-6 win over Carolina.
Analysis: The 18 pass attempts marked the lowest total for Jones this season, as the Patriots' defense (one TD) and rushing attack (39 attempts for 151 yards and a TD) did the heavy lifting against the Panthers. The poised rookie is averaging 237.2 passing yards per game with a 10:7 TD:INT ratio through nine contests. The Patriots lost Rhamondre Stevenson (head) and Damien Harris (head) to injury Sunday, so Jones may be relied upon more heavily against a tough Browns defense should both backs miss next…read more

Quiet in win over Bolts
Jones completed 18 of 35 passes for 218 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chargers. He also gained 10 yards on four carries.
Analysis: The rookie wasn't particularly efficient, but Jones avoided making any mistakes and let the Patriots' defense take control of the game in the second half. It was a big step back from his performance last week against the Jets, and Jones will face a tough matchup in Week 9 against a Panthers defense that just held Matt Ryan under 150 yards.

First 300-yard game in win
Jones completed 24 of 36 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets. He added 19 yards on three rushing attempts.
Analysis: Jones once again worked as a caretaker while the running game and defense led the way, but he still topped 300 yards for the first time in his career in this blowout win. Brandon Bolden did most of the work on Jones' first touchdown pass, taking a screen pass to the house from 15 yards out, and Hunter Henry was wide open for a one-yard score to give the Patriots a 31-7 halftime lead. The rookie quarterback will bring a respectable 9:6 TD:INT into New England's Week 8 road tilt against the…read more

Sharp in OT loss
Jones completed 15 of 21 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 35-29 overtime loss to the Cowboys. He also threw a two-point conversion to Jakobi Meyers.
Analysis: The rookie once again rarely misfired, and his one interception came on a throw that tipped off Kendrick Bourne's hands straight to Trevon Diggs for a pick-six late in the fourth quarter of the wild back-and-forth affair. Jones didn't flinch, however, and on the Patriots' very next possession, he tossed a 75-yard TD to Bourne. Jones will head into a Week 7 clash with the Jets sporting a stunning 71.1 percent completion rate, albeit with a less impressive 7.0 YPA and 7:6 TD:INT.

Works efficiently in win
Jones completed 23 of 30 passes for 231 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Jones didn't have a massive game from a stats perspective, but he methodically led the Patriots' offense to a victory. He spread targets around, as seven different receivers recorded multiple receptions. His longest completion went for 24 yards to Jakobi Meyers, and he delivered a 13-yard touchdown to Hunter Henry. Despite impressing five games into his rookie season, Jones' success on the field hasn't led to much fantasy value as he has only five total touchdowns and has yet to top 300 passing…read more

Strong performance Sunday night
Jones completed 31 of 40 pass attempts for 275 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Jones attempted his best Tom Brady impression against the legend himself, actually finishing with a superior performance from a statistical perspective. The rookie did throw another interception following his three-pick outing last week, but he also contributed the first multi-score performance of his young career. Jones' fantasy ceiling remains capped by his playstyle of quick releases and accurate, short passes, but he has also looked like the most NFL-ready quarterback out of all the rookie…read more

Three interceptions in loss
Jones completed 30 of 51 pass attempts for 270 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Saints. He added 28 yards on six carries.
Analysis: Jones finally suffered the poor turnover fate that many of his fellow 2021 draft class quarterbacks have gone through early this season. The rookie's pick-six on the Patriots' first drive of the second half put the Saints up 21-3, pretty much putting the game out of reach and forcing the team to become one-dimensional. Even with the three interceptions, Jones is arguably having the best start out of all of the first-round quarterbacks taken in the draft. He will likely face his toughest test to…read more

Mistake-free in first win
Jones completed 22 of 30 passes for 186 yards in Sunday's 25-6 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Jones was accurate in the first half, completing 17 of 21 passes for 142 yards to guide his team to a 13-3 lead at the break. He wasn't asked to do much after halftime, as the running game and defense led the way to seal the Jones' first NFL win. Jones has proven to be a capable game manager in his first two contests, but the Patriots prefer to control the clock with runs and short passes as opposed to pushing the ball downfield. The rookie first-round pick has one touchdown and no…read more

Looks comfortable in starting role
Jones completed 29 of his 39 pass attempts for 281 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Jones appeared comfortable in his first regular-season start as a professional and completed at least one pass to eight different players. He showed a particular connection with Nelson Agholor, as the pair produced gains of 25 and 21 yards as well as a seven-yard touchdown. Though Jones couldn't earn a victory, he led the Patriots to the red zone for a potential game-winning score late in the fourth quarter before Damien Harris lost a fumble to effectively end the contest.

Wins starting job
Jones will begin the season as the Patriots' starting quarterback after Cam Newton was released Tuesday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones apparently showed enough to not only win the starting job but also push Newton off the roster. With Jarrett Stidham (back) on the PUP list and likely out for at least the first half of the season, 35-year-old Brian Hoyer is the only remaining quarterback on the Patriots' active roster behind the rookie out of Alabama. As such, Jones should have a long leash to work through any struggles, especially after splitting first-team reps all summer. He'll start things off with a home game against…read more

Starter not yet named
Coach Bill Belichick noted Sunday that he isn't quite ready to name his Week 1 starting QB between Cam Newton and Jones, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: To that point, Belichick noted after Sunday's preseason finale that the Patriots "still have a lot of decisions to make." That said, given that Newton started Sunday and played two series, all with New England's starters, before Jones took over and saw action deep into the third quarter, all with the backups, it would appear as though the team may be leaning toward rolling with the more experienced Newton early on this season. In that scenario, Jones would begin his pro career in a backup…read more

Finishes stellar preseason
Jones completed 10 of 14 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-20 preseason win over the Giants.
Analysis: Jones entered the game after Cam Newton led the Patriots to a field goal on their first drive and was intercepted on their second. From there, the rookie first-rounder again proceeded to impress, leading New England to 16 points, including a 17-yard touchdown pass of his own, prior to exiting to start the fourth quarter. With a superb exhibition audition process now complete, it'll be interesting to see whether coach Bill Belichick will name Jones or Newton his starting quarterback ahead of…read more

Not as sharp Thursday
Jones took a step back Thursday after his impressive practice Wednesday, working behind Cam Newton in Newton's return to practice, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports.
Analysis: Newton took the first snap in every period, but Jones ended up getting more reps in full-team drills. It sounds like both were mediocre, following Wednesday reports about Jones having a dominant practice. Newton still is the favorite for the Week 1 start, but he didn't do himself any favors with the three-day absence due to a misunderstanding of COVID-19 protocols. The Patriots likely will give both QBs playing time in Sunday's preseason game against the Giants.

Jones submitted his practice showing of training camp during Wednesday's joint session with the Giants, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Per Howe's count, Jones completed 35 of 40 passes against the Giants' starting defense, including a stretch of 18 consecutive completions. With Cam Newton in the NFL's COVID-19 protocols and logging his third absence in a row Wednesday, Jones certainly took advantage of the added practice reps, while simultaneously making a case to be considered as the team's Week 1 starter.

Jones is in line to see first-team QB reps at practice through Wednesday, with Cam Newton slated to remain away from the team until Thursday due to what's been described by the Patriots as a "misunderstanding" on COVID-19 tests "conducted away from NFL facilities," Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While Newton will continue to participate virtually in team activities, Jones is in a position to work with New England's starters for the next few days. Reiss relays that coach Bill Belichick reiterated earlier Monday that Newton currently is viewed as the team's starting QB, with the usual caveat that any player's depth chart standing could change if someone performs better than the current starter or if that player isn't available for any reason.

Impresses again Thursday
Jones completed 13 of 19 passes for 146 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Patriots' 35-0 preseason win over the Eagles on Thursday night. He also rushed once for three yards.
Analysis: The rookie may not have thrown for any scores, but he helped helm an outstanding 17-play, 91-yard march on his first possession upon entering in the second quarter behind Cam Newton. The ground attack did play an outsized role in that drive, but Jones was also in on second-half 75- and 70-yard scoring drives that culminated in rushing touchdowns. Newton was also sharp during his stint, so the competition between the two signal-callers presumably will persist in the next week of practices…read more

Mixes in with first-team offense
Jones saw some work with the first-team offense Tuesday and completed 13 of his 14 pass attempts after dominating the backups during Monday's practice, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones continues to make his mark on the preseason after posting a solid debut in game action last Thursday, completing 13 of his 19 pass attempts for 87 yards against Washington. He's viewed as the long-term solution for New England under center and is trying to push to make that impact felt sooner than later. Unfortunately for him, Cam Newton also had what was reportedly his best practice in a week Tuesday, so Jones' showing didn't really help him make up a ton of ground.

Extensive action in preseason debut
Jones completed 13 of 19 passes for 87 yards and rushed twice for no gain in Thursday's 22-13 preseason win over Washington. He had no touchdowns or turnovers.
Analysis: After watching Cam Newton lead the offense to a field goal on his second drive, Jones came in and got the same result on the team's third possession, though the rookie would have had a touchdown if Kristian Wilkerson had been able to haul in a well-placed deep ball in the end zone. Jones moved the offense well throughout his time in the game, but on a Patriots team without much talent on the outside, Newton's mobility and leadership give him the inside track on the starting quarterback job.…read more

Both Cam Newton and Jones are expected to play in Thursday night's preseason opener against Washington, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's uncertain how much work each of the team's top two QBs will see in the contest, but Reiss notes that given that coach Bill Belichick previously has indicated that Newton is the team's starting quarterback for now, it seems likely he'll take initial snaps Thursday. In any case, this remains a job competition worth monitoring, with Jones still having some time to gain ground or even supplant Newton in advance of Week 1.

Analysis: In the process, Jones' workload increased, while Reiss observed that during the team's two recent full-pads practices that "it sometimes looks like the team is running separate attacks. The threat of (Cam) Newton as a ballcarrier with the read-option is prevalent -- and effective at times -- while Jones often looks like he's running the more traditional Patriots passing offense."

Follows Newton in team drills
Early on in training camp, Jones has followed Cam Newton in team drills, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: For now, Newton sits atop the Patriots' QB depth chart, a notion reinforced by the fact that he's leading off in practice, but Jones will have an opportunity to compete with the veteran signal-caller as training camp progresses. Through New England's first two practices at least, Howe notes that "strictly by performance, the QB battle has been a draw."

Poised to challenge Newton
Michael Giardi of NFL Network suggests that "a legit competition is on tap" this summer between Jones and incumbent starting QB Cam Newton.
Analysis: Citing Newton's uneven 2020 campaign, as well Jones having held his own over the course of the Patriots' OTAs and mandatory minicamp, Giardi believes that the No. 15 overall pick in this year's draft has a chance to push his veteran counterpart in the coming months.

Follows Newton at practice
Over the last two days of the Patriots' mandatory minicamp, Jones has been following 2020 starter Cam Newton in the team's QB rotation, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis: Also in the team's signal-caller mix are third-year player Jarrett Stidham, as well as veteran Brian Hoyer, but at this stage Newton remains atop the depth chart while Jones -- the No. 15 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft --gets acclimated to the Patriots' offensive system. Down the road, Jones figures to push Newton for the top job, but how quickly he'll be ready to supplant the incumbent remains to be seen.

Jones sported a compression sleeve on his lower right leg during Friday's OTA and was limping between periods, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones was still able to complete the practice session and split reps with Jarrett Stidham under center during the second half of the session after Cam Newton left with a finger injury. The rookie doesn't seem to be dealing with a major issue at the moment, but he isn't operating at 100 percent either.
