He's baaaack!
After taking some time off to recover from a successful sports hernia surgery, Jermaine Jones has rejoined the New England Revolution. Jones, who had been rehabbing in Los Angeles with specialists from the US National Team, was present in Foxboro for Thursday's practice.
Don't believe me? Take a look at the pictures that surfaced via Twitter:

While it's good to see Jones back within the walls of Gillette Stadium, it will likely take some time before he sees game action. Head coach Jay Heaps told RevolutionSoccer.net that Jones will be evaluated by the team's doctors to ensure he's "ready to go at some point in the next week or so."
The Revolution will host the San Jose Earthquakes this Saturday before traveling to the Colorado Rapids for a game on Saturday, Apr. 4. From there, the team will return home to face Columbus Crew SC on Apr. 11.
