Chandler Jones played in just two of 73 defensive snaps on Sunday night, watching from the sidelines for nearly the entire game thanks to a sprained ankle. Jones injured his left ankle on a goal-line play against the Texans a week earlier, but practiced all week and was listed as probable by the Patriots. Despite that designation, it is believed that Jones' participation was a game time/coaching decision. Fellow rookie Justin Francis started at defensive end in Jones' place. It was the second sprained ankle for Jones - he injured his right ankle against the Colts in November and missed two games. Source: Boston Globe
