Mac Jones suffered a back injury in Sunday's season-opening 20-7 loss to the Miami Dolphins and required X-rays on it after the game.

Bill Belichick said Jones traveled back with the rest of the New England Patriots.

"I know everybody is hungry for an up-to-the-second update, but honestly, the best way to handle these situations is to honestly give it a little time," Belichick said.

"See what happens. Run whatever tests or analysis that need to be run, and then go from there. So that's what we always do. That's what we're going to do in this case. That's what we're going to do in every other case with every other injury."

Jones finished 21-of-30 for 213 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. He was sacked twice, taking a big hit in the second quarter.
