Jack Jones Waived by the New England Patriots

However, an offseason arrest put Jack Jones NFL career very much in doubt over the summer. But while the court proceedings were happening, he was allowed to continuing practicing with the Patriots during preseason. However, he was injured at the end of camp and ended up beginning the year on injured reserve. When he came back, he was not nearly as effective as in his rookie campaign. He was flagged for several obvious penalties.

But it appears it is likely more off field issues than performance leading the Patriots to make such a move midseason. It was reported that Jones, like J.C. Jackson, had missed the team curfew before the Washington game. Jackson was inactive for this past week and did not travel with the team to Germany. After minimal playing time yesterday, and Jones lack of engagement on the sidelines, it appears the two sides had finally had enough of each other.

As with all such breakups, there is likely more information to come.

For now, Jack Jones hits the waiver wire. The New England Patriots are now left at cornerback with Jonathan Jones, Myles Bryant, Shaun Wade, Alex Austin, J.C. Jackson (if he returns), and practice squad players Breon Borders and Azizi Hearn.
