Mac Jones appears to be wearing a light brace on his left knee. I believe this would be a new addition to his attire. #Patriots pic.twitter.com/8P8QGUy8Y2

Jones, the 15th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Alabama, made his preseason debut on Thursday, completing 13 of his 19 passes for 87 yards.
The Patriots and Eagles are practicing together on Monday and Tuesday before playing a preseason game on Thursday night in Philadelphia.
Jones said after the practice session that he's made the addition for protection, rather than as a response to any injury.
