UPDATE: Jones is back on the field for the start of the next drive.

In the third quarter of Thursday’s game vs. the Rams, Mac Jones took a shot from a Rams defender on an incomplete pass on third and goal. Jones stayed down after the hit, was holding his knee and was visibly in pain. Jones is already wearing a brace as he is recovering from a PCL sprain in training camp. Jones was eventually able to jog off the field to the sideline after a few moments on the floor. He was later seen trying to get loose on the sideline.

Mac Jones has been efficient so far in this game, completing 18 of his 28 passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns. He has looked comfortable the whole night, despite dealing with several injuries at receiver. Kendrick Bourne, Christian McCaffrey and Demarcus Robinson are his leading pass catchers through two and a half quarters.

At the moment, it looks like Jones will stay in the game but stay tuned to DK Network for live updates on his injury.
