The Facts: Jones is just here so he won't get fined. The running back, who was reportedly demoted to fifth string on Washington's depth chart, showed up to mandatory minicamp on Tuesday after not attending voluntary organized team activities, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Diehards Line:
As Profootballtalk.com reminded readers, Jones did not take part in any of the team’s voluntary work this offseason as reports that the team was looking to trade him coincided with their decision to draft Samaje Perine to go with Rob Kelley and Chris Thompson in the backfield. Jones opened last season as the team’s starter, but spent the entire second half on the inactive list as Kelley took over lead back duties. He seems likely to be moving on.
