FOXBORO -- Patriots cornerback JC Jackson is reportedly not traveling with the team to Germany for their upcoming game against the Colts, according to sources cited by Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. Concerns about his reliability have prompted the decision for him to remain stateside, with the intention for him to use the bye week to return in a stronger position. Additionally, it has been revealed that both JC Jackson and Jack Jones violated team rules by missing curfew on Saturday night at the team hotel.

In light of Jackson's absence, veteran cornerback Jalen Mills was asked about his leadership role. Mills responded with a focus on the younger players, saying, “Bring the young guys up… just tell ‘em ‘it’s your time now’.” His statement signals a call to action for the less experienced members of the secondary to seize the opportunity and contribute to the team's efforts.
