Chandler Jones questionable for Sunday

[ctpatsfan77]

I'm glad he traveled. Right now, I'm going to assume he's out until the week he actually returns, but it's good news that he looks like he'll be ready before the playoffs start.

With them flying directly from Green Bay to San Diego for the week, we cannot read any signs by who is traveling today.

@MikeReiss: Another sign of progress for DE Chandler Jones (hip injury): He is making trip with the Patriots to Green Bay/San Diego.

Wow. Did not think he would travel. Good stuff.

A very good sign he is starting to get healthy

Traveling with the team is something i did not see coming. shows he is started to get close but also puts that bluff of questionable really on GB's mind i think. At this point you need to think there is at least a chance he is playing. And that is exactly what he wants GB to think.

Also... maybe he will play. IDK. It's possible.

#Patriots DE Chandler Jones (hip) made the trip to Green Bay, but source says he’s not expected to play. He hasn’t played since Oct. 16

Nor did I. Missed that one. Kudos to those who called it.

I don't think GB is doing any further game planning because they found out sat afternoon that chandler jones made the trip. Game plan is set early week

More probable - jones is getting close and pats wanted him to join for practice out west before chargers game and also team bonding since pats are flying west straight from GB and gone 10 days

Analysis like that will get you a job on ESPN or the NFL Network

Wow! Separated at birth. Which one is the evil twin?

Jones is awesome, but I have to say the defense has played better without him by being more creative. They are getting pressure up the middle by blitzing linebackers, and they also have more beef on the defensive line. I hope when he comes back they can use him in a better way than an edge rusher on every down...he was also struggling against the run, which essentially made him Dwight Freeney lite.

This is all wrong.
Jones has been replaced by the smaller Ayers.
Jones has been used in many roles saying he is an edge rusher every down is admitting you don't watch him play and/or understand what you are looking at.
Comparing him to Dwight Freeney doubles down on that.

Yeah, comparing Jones to Freeney is really silly.

I'm surprised they're going to Cali from GB. Flying home tonight would only add about 4 more hours of total air time for the team and then they'd get to be home. I guess going directly to SD does help them get acclimated to the time and weather earlier. Plus SD is much more pleasant than Foxboro this time of year. But still, this isn't a slam dunk decision like when played two Cali teams back to back a few weeks ago.

Well, it's one fewer time zone change, and the one from CT to PT happens several days earlier.
