The New England Patriots are waiving cornerback Jack Jones on Monday, according to his agent. Jones, a fourth-round selection in last year's draft, played only 10 snaps on defense in the Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany on Sunday. Jones has missed five games this year due to a hamstring injury that caused him to land on Injured Reserve, and he's seen his playing time decrease since coming back in Week 7. In 18 total games (two starts) for New England the last two seasons, he has 42 tackles (33 solo), three tackles for loss, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), seven passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. The 25-year-old should be able to latch on with another team quickly.
According to Jeff Howe of The Athletic, New England Patriots cornerback Jack Jones (hamstring) is expected to miss multiple games. The 2022 fourth-round pick, who recently had gun charges against him dropped by the Suffolk County District Attorney, was anticipated to play versus the Eagles. However, he didn't practice on Thursday or Friday, so he may have suffered a setback. Jones finished his rookie campaign by totaling 30 tackles and two interceptions. But with uncertainty surrounding his return, IDP managers should look elsewhere to fill a void in their lineups.
New England Patriots cornerback Jack Jones had all gun charges against him dropped by the Suffolk County District Attorney. He was arrested in mid-June at Boston's Logan Airport while allegedly carrying two firearms in his luggage. Jones will have to complete several hours of community service, and the situation is still subject to a review by the NFL. The 2022 fourth-round pick started 13 games for Bill Belichick last season. He is competing for a starting role with 2023 first-round pick Christian Gonzalez this year.
New England Patriots second-year cornerback Jack Jones was arrested on Friday after two firearms were found in his travel luggage at Boston's Logan Airport, according to Massachusetts State Police. He will be arraigned next week in East Boston District Court, and his bail was set at $50,000. The 25-year-old was officially charged with two counts of possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of the airport, possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm and possession of a large-capacity feeding device. Jones' rookie season ended in late December due to a team suspension for an unspecified violation of club rules, so this isn't the first time he's had off-the-field issues. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Patriots release Jones after this latest incident.
