Daboll talked about the injury after the game.
"Tough," he said when asked what it was like to see Jones go down. "You never want your guys to go down. He has worked really hard to get back and it's unfortunate."
It was Jones’ first game back since he suffered a neck injury in the team’s Week 5 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He left the game early in the second quarter.

He tried to shake it off in between quarters, and on the next play, he failed to put any weight on his knee and went down.
