The Facts:
Jones pleaded not guilty Monday to possession of cocaine, a charge that carries up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Jones, who is free on a $2,500 bond, faces an Oct. 10 trial date -- two days before the Jaguars play at Denver.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jones was arrested July 10 when a Fayetteville police officer saw him inside a car allegedly cutting up cocaine with a credit card. Jones' father, Steve, has denied the cocaine was in his son's possession. He acknowledged it was in the vehicle, however, and in "closest proximity to Matt. ..." Jones' prospects of making the team seems slim after his arrest. The Jaguars had added Jerry Porter and Troy Williamson to the roster over the offseason. However, injuries to Porter (torn hamstring) and Reggie Williams (right knee) have led to more repetitions for Jones -- and he's been making the most of them.
