Updating a previous item, Patriots RE Chandler Jones does not need offseason ankle surgery.

Jones battled both left and right ankle injuries for the second half of the season and into the playoffs. After storming out of the gates to pick up six sacks and three forced fumbles in the first eight games of the season, Jones' production fell off and he was shut out in those categories for the rest of the way. He may rest through OTAs, but Jones will be good to go for training camp. Jan 29 - 1:46 PM

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

Patriots RE Chandler Jones may need offseason ankle surgery.

The rookie defensive end played just two snaps in Sunday's playoff loss to the Ravens after suffering the initial injury in the Divisional Round versus the Texans. Jones battled a right ankle injury for much of the season, but his most recent one is to his left ankle. The first-round pick recorded six sacks in 2012, but just one came after Week 6.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

The ankle injury that knocked Patriots RE Chandler Jones out of Sunday's game did not require a walking boot.

Jones was limping out of the locker room, but it's a good sign that the medical staff didn't deem the injury serious enough to warrant a boot. The Patriots' next practice report will come out on Wednesday.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

Patriots RE Chandler Jones left Sunday's Divisional round game versus the Texans with an ankle injury.

Jones was seen conferring with the medical staff just before halftime. He remained on the sidelines in the third quarter, with Justin Francis taking his place. Consider the rookie pass rusher questionable to return.

Jan 13 - 6:41 PM

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

Patriots RE Chandler Jones (ankle), LG Logan Mankins (ankle), and MLB Brandon Spikes (knee) are all active for Week 14 on Monday night versus the Texans.

In true Patriot form, all three players were listed as questionable. Jones is returning after missing two games with the ankle issue. Mankins and Spikes were the only two that were truly in question. New England declared OLs Markus Zusevics and Nick McDonald, TE Rob Gronkowski, DLs Ron Brace and Jake Bequette, DB Derrick Martin, and RB James Develin inactive. Gronk is likely still two weeks away from returning.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

Patriots RE Chandler Jones (ankle) says he's "ready to play against the Texans" this week on Monday Night Football.

Jones has missed the last two games with the ankle injury, but he participated in all four practice sessions this week leading up to the biggest game of the NFL season to date. Jones should return to the starting lineup and will see a lot of Texans LT Duane Brown. Trevor Scott will return to a rotational back-up role.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

Patriots RE Chandler Jones (ankle) and LG Logan Mankins (ankle) both practiced in shells on Thursday.

Both players have missed multiple games with the injuries. According to the Boston Herald, there is now "a feeling that each player could return" for Monday night's mammoth AFC tilt with the Texans. The game has major repercussions for the two bye-week seeds in the playoffs.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

Patriots RE Chandler Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Dolphins.

New England has been forced to "scheme" pressure without its top pass rusher Jones, leaving the team a bit more vulnerable in the back end. Unfortunately, the Dolphins lack an explosive passing game capable of taking advantage. The Patriots will also be without LG Logan Mankins (ankle) against Miami.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

Patriots RE Chandler Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Jets.

Jones was injured early on in Sunday's rout over the Colts. The first-round pick has generated six sacks and three forced fumbles as a rookie and ranks as Pro Football Focus' No. 10 4-3 defensive end in all of football. Trevor Scott will likely draw the start in Jones' place.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

Patriots DE Chandler Jones has been named NFL's defensive rookie of the month for September.

Chalk one up for the NFL Network crew of Mike Mayock and Michael Lombardi, both of whom anointed Jones the best defensive player leading up to this year's draft. The Pats coaching staff credits Jones with 19 total tackles (7 solo), three sacks, five quarterback hits and two forced fumbles through four games. Pro Football Focus ranks Jones fifth among 4-3 ends.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

Patriots first-round RE Chandler Jones played on 58-of-65 snaps in Sunday's opener.

Jones had three tackles, one sack and one forced fumble that resulted in a touchdown for fellow rookie Dont'a Hightower. He's on the IDP radar as an every-down, playmaking lineman. Jones will have plenty of chances to pin his ears back as the Patriots figure to be protecting a lead often this season.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

According to ESPN Boston, No. 21 pick Chandler Jones "looks like a permanent fixture" at right end in the Patriots' defense.

Jones dominated in the preseason opener and has been lighting up practices. Per beat writer Mike Reiss, Jones has also "made an impression on his teammates off the field as a humble rookie who is willing to carry veterans' shoulder pads." Jones is firmly on the IDP radar as a rookie pass rusher on a team that generates lots of pass-rushing opportunities with a high-scoring offense.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

No. 21 overall pick Chandler Jones had five quarterback pressures in 14 dropbacks in Thursday's preseason opener.

It was the quite the debut for Jones. Operating as the starting right defensive end, he added two stuffed runs while going against solid Saints left tackle Jermon Bushrod. Jones is shaping up as an IDP sleeper.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

Rookies DE Chandler Jones, LB Dont'a Hightower, and S Tavon Wilson have yet to miss an offseason session and are in position to become "immediate" contributors on defense.

The quick progression of the rookie trio is key for last season's 31st-ranked defense. Jones is penciled in as the team's starting right end, while Hightower is the favorite to start at strong-side linebacker. Wilson has a shot at No. 3 safety duties behind Steve Gregory and Patrick Chung.

Chandler Jones - DL - Patriots

Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe expects first-round pick Chandler Jones to open the season as the Patriots' starting right end.

Jones has had an exceptional start to training camp, drawing raves from several Boston media outlets. "Jones has been much stronger at the point of attack than I think even the Patriots anticipated," observed Bedard. "... At this point, he's a starter. Not sure I see it changing." The Pats may still re-sign free agent Andre Carter at some point, but he'd only be a rotational player.

	2	Julian Edelman Sidelined ESPN Boston agrees with the Boston Herald that Patriots WR Julian Edelman is not a lock for a roster spot. The Patriots waited nearly a month before re-signing Edelman to a contract that includes no guaranteed money, while a setback with his troublesome foot has him questionable for the beginning of camp. Edelman's experience in the Patriots' system and special-teams prowess should give him a leg up on the likes of Donald Jones, Lavelle Hawkins and Michael Jenkins, but only if he's healthy. May 14

TE	1	Rob Gronkowski Sidelined ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Rob Gronkowski's back surgery recovery is expected to take ten weeks. There are about 16 weeks left before Week 1. Profootballtalk has reported the back surgery will occur roughly 3-4 weeks following Gronkowski's Monday arm procedure, putting a tentative return timetable at 2-3 weeks before the season, assuming all healing proceeds without setbacks. At this point, we can't expect Gronkowski to participate at all in the preseason, but he still has a shot to be ready for Opening Day. The Pats open Sunday, September 8 at Buffalo. May 17
	2	Aaron Hernandez Sidelined ESPN Boston reports that "word is" Aaron Hernandez (shoulder) can expect a four-month recovery period. Hernandez underwent a "minor scope" almost three weeks ago, and he is not expected to participate in OTAs or minicamp. It's possible he could even open training camp on the PUP list. There remains plenty of time for Hernandez to be ready for Week 1. The Patriots will likely bring him along slowly. Apr 21
	3	Michael Hoomanawanui
	4	Daniel Fells
	5	Jake Ballard Sidelined The Patriots still have "high hopes" for TE Jake Ballard (knee). Thanks to the injury woes of Rob Gronkowski (arm) and Aaron Hernandez (shoulder), Ballard's rehab has taken on a different context. If he can get on the field for the offseason program, he'll be the temporary No. 1 pass-catching tight end at practices. Ballard caught 38 passes for 604 yards and four touchdowns while with the Giants during the 2011 season. He sustained a torn left ACL during that year's Super Bowl. Apr 17
