Cyrus Jones was sure his tenure with the Patriots was over when he was cut at the end of training camp earlier this month.New England chose to sever ties with the cornerback and return man Limited Donald Trump Jersey , a second-round pick in 2016, after an underwhelming two-year tenure.It included fumble issues and a right knee injury that caused him to miss the 2017 season.It is why Jones said he was "blown away" when he got a call from his agent Monday night saying that the Patriots wanted to re-sign him.A deal was completed, and Jones was added to the 53-man roster on Wednesday. He practiced for the first time with his old team Thursday."Everybody was excited to see me, as I was excited to see them," said Jones, who had been on the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad since being released by New England.Jones has been working with the safeties since his return, a position that took a hit when starter Patrick Chung suffered a concussion during New England's loss at Jacksonville.Devin McCourty Adam Butler Jersey , Duron Harmon and Nate Ebner — a primary special teamer — are the only other safeties on the depth chart. So, if Chung isn't cleared to play this weekend against Detroit, the chances are high that Jones will see at least some action.McCourty said he started beaming when he saw Jones back in the team cafeteria."Even when he left and went to Baltimore, I was texting him to see how he was doing," McCourty said. "It was a good feeling seeing him come back in here."Jones appeared in 10 games for the Patriots in 2016, making one start. But he had more fumbles (five on 19 punt and kick returns) than tackles (three) on defense.He was making progress this spring after his knee surgery, but it wasn't enough to secure him a roster spot when New England made its initial 53-man cut.He said he's not looking at this second opportunity as a chance at redemption."I'm just here to do a job Authentic Elandon Roberts Jersey , just like everybody else," Jones said. "I don't look at it like that. I look at it as another opportunity, just like it was when I was in Baltimore. Just like I did when I left here. Trying to be the best guy on Sundays."But Jones acknowledged "it hurt" not being on a roster to open the season."I get that opportunity being back here, so I'm going to make the most of it," he said.Jones said he's put the past and the circumstances surrounding his initial departure behind him. He said he respects the Patriots reasons for letting him go."Whether I was working my way back from injury or whatever — who wants to get cut?" Jones said. "It really didn't matter the circumstances of why I got cut. It didn't matter. That wasn't important to me. It happened, and I dealt with it like a man and moved on."Fortunately enough, coach thought enough of me to bring me back and to help this team win. That's what I'm gonna focus on doing."Notes: TE Rob Gronkowski was limited in practice Thursday with an ankle issue. Chung and DE Trey Flowers both sat out the second straight day as they continue to go through the league's concussion protocol. The (7-2) New England Patriots will take their six-game winning streak on the road in week 10 for their third away game in a four week span. The (3-4) Tennessee Titans Authentic Trent Brown Jersey Salute to Service , who face the Dallas Cowboys for Monday Night Football, are in the middle of a three-game losing streak and are underdogs at home against the Patriots.Per a couple oddsmakers, the Patriots are 6.5-to-7 point favorites in week 10 against the Titans. This line is obviously subject to change based upon 1) the Titans’ performance on Monday Night; and 2) the health and availability of Rob Gronkowski and Sony Michel for the Patriots.The Titans have one of the better defenses in the league, allowing an average of 1.72 points per drive, which is tied with the Houston Texans for seventh in the NFL. The Patriots will have a tough time racking up points, although they did put up 38 points on the Chicago Bears defense that leads the league with 1.54 points allowed per drive.For context, the Patriots defense is tied for 12th with 1.89 points per drive.On the other side of the ball Adrian Clayborn Jersey Salute to Service , the Titans offense is atrocious, ranking 28th in points scored per drive with 1.52. That’s less than what the top-ranked Bears defense allows, so the Titans offense makes opposing defenses look like they’re the best in the league. Tennessee ranks ahead of only the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals, and Buffalo Bills and immediately behind the Miami Dolphins, Oakland Raiders Kenny Britt Jersey Salute to Service , and New York Jets.For context, the Patriots offense ranks 6th with 2.47 points per drive.Personally, I think New England should win this game by more than a touchdown. But we’ll see how many Patriots players are available to suit up in the final game before the bye week.
