Nothing has seemingly gone right for the New England Patriots this season. With a record of 2-7, their season is essentially zero. While mathematically alive for the playoffs, their chances of making a run to the postseason are nearly zero.

Set to head over to Germany to play the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10, the Patriots are reportedly shaking up their lineup. According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, veteran cornerback J.C. Jackson won’t even make the trip with the team.

“NFL Network first reported that Jackson won’t travel for the game, citing questions about his reliability. SI.com additionally reported that Jackson was late to the team hotel Saturday,” Reiss wrote.

Jackson was acquired from the Los Angeles Chargers on October 5th after first-round rookie Christian Gonzalez suffered a torn labrum. The veteran cornerback had fallen out of favor in Los Angeles after signing a four-year, $82.5 million deal with the team in free agency in 2022.

Jackson left the Patriots as a free agent, cashing in after spending the first four seasons of his career in New England. However, the success he had in his first stint with the team did not carry over.

After coming off the bench in his first game, Jackson was inserted into the starting lineup for the following three games. However, he was removed from the starting unit in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders following a tough outing against the Miami Dolphins in Week 8.

Now, Jackson seemingly finds himself at the bottom of the depth chart. Not even taking him on the trip to Germany is a huge fall from grace after signing a massive contract last offseason.

Shaun Wade has seen his role expand recently and will likely start in place of Jackson again against the Colts. Jonathan Jones, Myles Bryant and Jack Jones will likely round out the depth chart in Week 10.
