Heading into Monday night’s game, this is definitely an important start for New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones as he steps back under center for the first time in nearly a month after suffering an ankle injury against the Ravens back on September 25th.

Kyle [Dugger] as we know is one of our most physical players. Runs well, tough, smart kid. He’s been good in coverage. Has a lot of range.

While New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick spent most of this week downplaying who will be starting on Monday night against Chicago, it doesn’t change the fact the Bears seem to already have a plan in place against Mac Jones.

Veteran special-teamer Matthew Slater sounded gutted while he spoke to reporters last Sunday after Cody Davis left the game against the Browns with what turned out to be a serious knee injury and head coach Bill Belichick seemed to echo that sentiment as he spoke to reporters on Friday.

Apparently, out in Chicago, it sounds like there’s one player who is absolutely concerned about the psi in the footballs ahead of Monday Night’s battle against the New England Patriots, so much so that he plans to do his own investigation before kickoff.

One of the interesting stories of the day centers around New England Patriots offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn, for who it appears there could be some trouble brewing.

This week’s opponent is the Chicago Bears.  The storied franchise of the NFL is a long way from the old glory days. 

While Mac Jones’s status still remains in question heading into Monday night’s game against the Chicago Bears, there were some signs on Thursday that the second-year quarterback will indeed be the one lining up under center for the first time in nearly a month.

One player to watch is rookie WR Tyquan Thornton had seven touches (3 carries, 4 catches) in just 40 snaps and a pair of touchdowns last week 

Ben Volin doubled down on a claim about Mac Jones “needing to be humbled” during an interview with WEEI Wednesday, and ended up having to apologize Thursday after basing a follow up report off a bogus DM.

While ESPN may have released their promo graphic featuring Bailey Zappe and Matthew Judon leading up to the New England Patriots’ battle against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, it looks like there may potentially be a change coming to one of those names.
