In a heartfelt statement released by Jones, he explained that his family needs him now more than ever. He expressed his gratitude to the organization and his teammates for their support during this challenging time.
A Valuable Asset
Jones has been a valuable asset to the Lions, consistently delivering impressive performances on the field. Known for his speed, agility, and reliable hands, he has been a favorite target for Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford.
