The Jaguars wideout has missed 6 games this season due to a lingering knee injury. Jones has 8 catches for 78 yards with 2 touchdowns across 3 games played.
The 28-year-old was second on the team in both receiving yards (823) and receiving touchdowns (5) during the 2022 season.
Jones was also arrested in 2018 for public vandalism. He was seen in a video completely naked and seemingly out of his mind. The charges were eventually dropped for insufficient evidence.
