FOXBORO — Judging by Wednesday’s padded practice, the last of Patriots training camp, Mac Jones’ preseason might be over before Friday’s game even kicks off.Jones kept busy over an 18-of-23 day, hitting DeVante Parker and Kayshon Boutte in the end zone with his final passes during a simulated 2-minute drill. Jones’ workload indicated he’ll be limited to a couple drives, if any, during the Pats’ preseason finale at Tennessee. He lived up to the “way better quarterback” standard Patriots safety Adrian Phillips set while speaking about Jones’ progress after Tuesday’s practice.Phillips shared his confidence is “through the roof.” Jones made that plenty evident Wednesday by connecting on two long balls to Kendrick Bourne early in team drills, then firing RPO throws into tight windows and whipping touchdown passes to finish practice.
