Injured Baltimore Ravens wide receiver should be focused on healing up after suffering a freak injury two weeks ago when his own man ran into him on a punt return. Instead, Jones was on a party bus last night and was allegedly cut by a bottle-wielding stripper.
TMZ was the first to report the incident, but head coach John Harbaugh said Jones was "fine," and noted that he attended meetings Monday. Still, Harbaugh wasn't pleased to be making those kinds of headlines.
"I'm not very impressed personally with the report," Harbaugh said. "It's not something we want to be known for. We'd like to think it's not something those guys would want to be known for. It's nothing to be proud of, so I'm kind of disappointed in that sense."
Harbaugh went on to say he scolded his team about ensuring the proper perception of the franchise, and stressed the importance of focusing on winning football games.
"'What to do you want to be known for?'" Harbaugh said he told the players. "'Do you want to be known as a football player or do you want to be known for that?' I don't think it's anything to be proud of."
"That was enforced in our household that nothing good happens after midnight," Harbaugh said. "I did reiterate that with the guys today."
Jones was expected to fill the void in the wide receiving corps left by Anquan Boldin's departure, but his impact is bigger on special teams as a dynamic kick and punt returner. He helped Baltimore win the Super Bowl last year with a historically long kickoff touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers. He has seven career return touchdowns including punts and kickoffs.
As a receiver for both the Texans and Ravens, Jones caught 160 passes and registered 12 touchdowns.
