Bill Belichick provided a brief update on Jack Jones as Patriots training camp gets underway
Jones pleaded not guilty in June to nine counts of weapons violations after he was arrested at Logan Airport.

Bill Belichick’s update on Jack Jones: The Patriots are set to open training camp this week, with the first practice scheduled for Wednesday. As part of the season’s start, Bill Belichick spoke to the media on Tuesday morning.
Among the questions he was asked, Belichick briefly discussed the status of cornerback Jack Jones.
Jones, 25, was arrested in June after a pair of firearms and ammunition was reportedly discovered in his bag during a security check at Logan Airport. He was charged with nine counts of weapons violations, and is due back in court on Aug. 18 for a probable cause hearing.
He remains a member of the Patriots for now, according to the team’s coach.
“Jack will be out there,” Belichick said.
He was equally succinct when asked a follow-up question about Jones.
“We can’t talk about it,” Belichick responded. “It’s a legal process.”
Jones was a fourth-round pick by New England in 2022, notching a pair of interceptions in his rookie season.
Trivia: Devin McCourty wore No. 32 from 2010 until the end of his accomplished career (the 2022 season). Prior to McCourty, four other players wore No. 32 during Bill Belichick’s time as head coach. Can you name the one who notched a 1,000-yard rushing season while in New England?
(Answer at the bottom).
Hint: He was the first Patriots 1,000-yard rusher of the Belichick era.
