Mac Jones

Mac Jones completed 16-of-23 passes for 210 yards with two touchdowns against the Buccaneers on Saturday in preseason action.

Jones got the start before giving way to C.J. Beathard in the second half, but then was forced back into action after Beathard left with a groin injury. His first touchdown was a 25-yarder on what appeared to be a coverage miscommunication to Parker Washington, and the second was a 31-yard connection with Brevin Easton. Jones has played well so far while battling for the backup job with Beathard, but this competition will all but assuredly last until the end of camp — assuming Beathard doesn’t have a long-term injury, of course.
