New England Patriots second-year cornerback Marcus Jones is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins with a shoulder injury.
Jones was lying on the field in pain after attempting a tackle on Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. The Patriots are already missing Jonathan Jones due to an ankle injury, and Jack Jones was placed on injured reserve before the start of the season. Rookie cornerback Ameer Speed was also listed as inactive for game.
That leaves the team with Christian Gonzalez, Myles Bryant and Shaun Wade to help defend two of the most dynamic receivers in the game in Tyreek Hill and Waddle.

It could be a long night for the Patriots’ defensive backfield.
