The Facts:
Jones, speaking publicly for the first time since his arrest on a felony drug charge in Arkansas, expressed remorse for putting himself and the Jaguars in a negative light. He also apologized to team owner Wayne Weaver, coach Jack Del Rio and some teammates, and said he was committed to making the roster. "I'm embarrassed for Mr. and Mrs. Weaver, coach Del Rio and my teammates, and even the fans of Jacksonville," Jones said on the eve of training camp.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jones was arrested July 10 in Fayetteville, his former college town, after police said he was inside a car cutting up cocaine with a credit card. His arraignment on a charge of felony possession of a controlled substance was set for Aug. 11, two days after Jacksonville's preseason opener against Atlanta. ... Jones had been considered a long shot to make the team -- even before his arrest. But injuries to Jerry Porter (hamstring) and Mike Williams (sprained knee) appear to be sufficient to warrant a reprieve for Jones.
