The New England Patriots had two important players miss Wednesday's practice as the team prepares for its Week 4 road game against the Green Bay Packers.
Starting quarterback Mac Jones missed the session due to an ankle injury. He reportedly suffered a "pretty severe" high ankle sprain during New England's Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Backup Brian Hoyer and rookie Bailey Zappe were the quarterbacks practicing Wednesday. Hoyer would start if Jones is unable to play.

A couple of key players were limited for the Patriots in Wednesday's practice, including wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and safety Kyle Dugger. Both of them missed last week's game versus the Ravens.
