Raiders Coach Josh McDaniels had the following to say at his Friday press conference:

"I mean, I care for all of them," McDaniels said. "You know what I mean? I think we all do. Want the best for all of our players, former players, etc. So, like I said, that will never change. So, that part is going to be there now and forever, for all the guys we've coached and we got an opportunity to know and work with. So we just kind of take it as it comes here as we're going through this, and we'll continue to try to do the best we can."

Jones has not played a game or participated in practice this 2023 season.

After spending the first two weeks on the injury report, Jones was placed on the non-football illness list on Sept. 20. 

According to Tashan Reed of The Athletic, Jones' bail was set at $15,000, and a court date was set for Dec. 4, 2023.
