The Facts: In case there was any confusion, the Patriots will start Jones tonight, a source tells SI.com's Albert Breer.

Diehards Line: It’ll be his first action since suffering a high ankle sprain four weeks ago. Bailey Zappe will back Jones up. The Patriots did not activate Garrett Gilbert from the practice squad in time to dress for Monday Night Football. Thus, it was obvious Jones and Zappe would serve as the team’s two quarterbacks against the Bears. The only question was which quarterback would start. Assuming Breer's source is correct, it will be Jones. ... We'll look for further confirmation of that, but assume it's the case unti/unless you hear otherwise.
