Patriots

“I simply come out right here to play ball and provides it my all and do what I am imagined to do for this staff.”

Patriots cornerback Jack Jones addressed reporters on Friday for the primary time since his June arrest at Logan Airport.

He mentioned that he couldn’t reply questions on what transpired at Logan that day, telling reporters, “That’s a query for my lawyer.”

He has continued to follow with the Patriots as he awaits his possible trigger listening to, which is scheduled for Aug. 19.

“Once I get out right here on this soccer discipline, it’s all ball,” Jones mentioned. “I simply come out right here to play ball and provides it my all and do what I’m imagined to do for this staff.”

Jones sidestepped a query about how optimistic he feels about remaining a Patriot in 2023.

“That’s not my name,” Jones mentioned. “That’s as much as coach. I simply do what I’m imagined to do on the sphere, give it my all each day, and hope it falls into place.”

However, there may be some fixed diploma of fear about remaining on an NFL roster no matter his authorized circumstances, Jones mentioned.

“Day by day you’re apprehensive about your future on any staff as a result of this league may be very liquid, and you may be right here at present and gone tomorrow on any staff,” Jones mentioned. “So, it’s a must to simply go on the market and take part. Availability is the most effective capability.”

Based on TSA officers, a pair of weapons have been present in Jones’s baggage, prompting officers to arrest him on the scene and convey him to the State Police Logan Barracks.

Jones was charged with two counts of possession of a hid weapon in a safe space of an airport, possession of ammunition and not using a firearm identification card, illegal possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm, and possession of a large-capacity feeding system.

He pled not responsible to weapons expenses throughout an arraignment listening to in East Boston later that month, and was launched after posting bail.

Jones performed in 13 video games as a rookie final season and posted a pair of interceptions. He’s anticipated to be a key contributor in New England’s secondary.

Jones stepped away from follow for some time on Thursday earlier than returning and watching the remainder of the session from the sideline. Based on a number of studies, Jones appeared annoyed after a play that Kendrick Bourne made.

Jones mentioned he’s put the incident behind him.

“Simply soccer, you realize,” Jones mentioned. “Right this moment is at present. It’s prior to now. It wasn’t something dangerous. We’re good at present although.”
