New Miami Dolphins cornerback Jack Jones was having a great practice on Friday, going up against the Chicago Bears, before he went down and was carried off the field by Terron Armstead, who was on site watching practice today from the Dolphins sideline.
Jones was then put on the golf cart and taken to the locker room.
No word at this time on the severity of the injury or if this was just a cramping issue.

Jones is 27 years old, playing 42 games, starting 21 of them. Last season for the Raiders, Jones played in 17 games, starting 16 of them, and he had 3 interceptions. He gave up 8 touchdowns and had 15 missed tackles last season.
He has seven interceptions for his career.
His PFF numbers last season were a 53.9 overall grade at CB, rated 166 out of 222 cornerbacks. He had a coverage grade of 52.9, rated 168 out of 222 cornerbacks, and a run defense grade of 58.6, rated 142 out of 222 cornerbacks.
In June of 2023, Jones was arrested at Boston’s Logan Airport when two loaded guns were found in his carry-on baggage by TSA. Jones faced multiple charges, including possession of a concealed weapon and ammunition in an airport, as well as possession of a large-capacity magazine. In September of that year, all charges were dropped, and Jones agreed to one year of probation.
The Patriots also released him the week after he missed a curfew.
Miami’s cornerback room is a mess, with nothing but unproven young players. Jones brought some experience to the group so lets hope there is nothing serious here with why he was carted off the field.
Jones is competing for a starting cornerback role with the Dolphins and has played very well since joining the Dolphins a couple of weeks back.
If there is an injury here, expect Miami to go back on the free agent market to add more players at the position.
