Patriots down another CB as Jones unfit again

Starting CB Jonathan Jones will miss his franchise match vs. the NY Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday as he suffers from an ankle problem.

New England, who are trying to avoid their 1^st 0-3 beginning of a campaign since 2000, suffered from injured cornerbacks lately. While Jonathan is sidelined for 2^nd consecutive match, backup Marcus Jones (torn labrum) was placed on injured reserve yesterday, and fellow backup  Jack Jones (hamstring) landed on IR on September 9^th.

That leaves 1^st round selection Christian Gonzalez as the organization’s top player at cornerback, as we will watch a big-time matchup with New York WR Garrett Wilson. Christian has appeared in every snap on defense in the 1^st two matches of the new season.

Pats’ other cornerbacks are Myles Bryant, Shaun Wade, and this year’s 7th-round draft selection, Ameer Speed, as Ameer helps mainly on special teams.
