That is the expectation, Andrew, that Mack Jones will play during the course of the week.

Steady improvement with that high ankle sprain did considerably more in practice than he had done the week before. In fact, a couple times that we were able to see him in the media window, which is very short, sprinting with the guys, doing bag drills where he's moving that foot, jumping over bags, sliding side to side. That is not something that he could have done two weeks ago, even though then he was still pushing to play, which sort of speaks to the level of toughness and his desire to get back onto the field. One of the things that I've talked about quite a bit here over the last week or so is the Patriot's desire to see Mack prove that he can handle himself inside and outside the pocket, protect himself. And if he could do that, the coaching staff would be fine, putting him on the field. But until then, there was no controversy, right? He had to show them he could do that. And that is what I've been told that he was able to do that this week. Now, you're wondering why there's been no declaration from the Patriots and from Bill Belichick. Well, I would say you don't know Bill Belichick that well if you would expect him to do something like that. Belichick never likes to be painted into a corner. He will keep his options open until he absolutely positively has to show the cards to the national audience to view this game. And I'll tell you the other thing. Patriot players, they're excited to have Mack back. Talk to Jacobi Myers. He said, that guy's a dog. His competitive spirit is second to none. And Ramadre Stevenson said he's a warrior.

We look forward to getting him back on the field.

we're coming away at 530.

And that's the deal.

And so much of the reporting has been tracking that Mack Jones is available to play,

available.

He wants to play.

He's available to play, et cetera.

But how much is he going to play?

Is he going to start?

And how they're going to parse that out?

That is very much in questions.
