Jon Jones out and Julian Edelman active for Week 16 vs. Bills

Edelman and Jason McCourty will play.

The New England Patriots will not have cornerback Jonathan Jones, who was ruled out on Thursday for the team’s game against the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium on Saturday in Week 16.

Though they were listed on the injury report, receiver Julian Edelman (knee/shoulder), cornerback Jason McCourty (groin) and linebackers Jamie Collins (shoulder) and Ja’Whaun Bentley (knee) will be active. McCourty’s presence on the gameday roster is a surely welcome addition, as he missed Week 15 and may take a large number of snaps in the slot, where Jones predominantly played.

Here’s a look at New England’s inactives beyond Jones:

QB Cody Kessler
RB Damien Harris
TE Ryan Izzo
OT Korey Cunningham
OL Jermaine Eluemunor
DT Byron Cowart
CB Jonathan Jones (groin)

Here’s a look at the Bills’ inactives.

The Patriots kick off against the Bills at 4:30 p.m. ET.
