Former Pitt OT Re-Signs With Commanders
PITTSBURGH -- A former Pitt Panthers offensive lineman will stay with the team that cut him after clearing waivers this week.
The Washington Commanders cut former Panthers tackle Jaryd Jones-Smith following the conclusion of training camp but will bring him back to the practice squad, the team announced.
Jones-Smith signed with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and bounced around between Miami, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Baltimore, appearing in six total games split evenly between the Ravens and Raiders.
Jones arrived at Pitt as a three-star recruit by way of West Catholic High School in Philadelphia, a short drive from his hometown of Camden, New Jersey. He made 33 appearances and 13 starts over the course of his career, including nine his senior year, when he blocked for current Steelers starting quarterback Kenny Pickett in his coming out party - a 24-14 upset of then-No. 2 Miami in Pittsburgh.
