Orlando Ledbetter reminded readers, Jones had a bunion, a bony bump on his left foot that caused him to miss substantial practice time late last season, surgically removed in March. He was limited for the first five practices of training camp. Jones had been taking part in the individual drills, but was play-calling and helping to coach the wide receivers during the team portion of practice.
