When the New England Patriots defense took the field for the first time in Germany against the Indianapolis Colts, cornerback Jack Jones was spotted standing on the sidelines.
This is the second straight week Jones has been benched.
It was initially reported that performance issues and missing curfew played into the benching of both Jones and veteran cornerback J.C. Jackson in the Week 9 loss to the Washington Commanders.
When pressed about it after the game, the Patriots coach side-stepped questions in typical Belichick fashion.
“Everybody played, they all played,” said Belichick, when asked why cornerback Shaun Wade was a starter.
For the second straight week, Patriots CB Jack Jones is sitting on the bench during a defensive series while the rest of the reserves are on the sideline. He's wearing one of the heavy capes.

Wade was once again the starter this week against the Colts.
Jones’ snap count will be worth keeping an eye on throughout the course of the game. Will the Patriots continue to limit his work or get him more involved?
