Patriots CB Jack Jones Breaks Silence After Arrest On Firearms Charges

Jack Jones has officially made his first public comments since his arrest at Boston's Logan Airport earlier this summer.

But don't actually ask the New England Patriots cornerback about the incident.

"I can't answer that question. That's a question for my lawyer," Jones said after practice Friday.

Police arrested Jones on June 16 after airport security discovered two guns with ammunition in his carry-on luggage. The 25-year-old pleaded not guilty and was released after posting a $30,000 cash bail.

Jones will appear in court for a probable cause hearing on August 18 — a day before the Patriots preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.

But Jones said he's solely focused on football.

"When I get out here on this football field, it's all ball, man," he said. "I just come out here to play ball, give it my all and do what I'm supposed to for the team."

The stakes are high for Jack Jones.

He's facing two counts of each of these charges:

"If he were convicted and sentenced consecutively on each charge, he'd face more than 30 years in prison," James Borghesani, a spokesman for the office of Suffolk District Attorney, said in June.

Drafted in the fourth round out of Arizona State in 2022, Jones played in 13 games in his rookie season with two starts. He recorded two interceptions — one for a touchdown — and 30 total tackles.

But the Patriots will decide whether he'll participate this year.

"That's not my call. That's up to Coach . I just do what I'm supposed to do on the field, give it my all on the field and hope it falls in the right place," Jones said.

"Every day you're worried about your future on any team, because this league is very liquid. You could be here today and gone tomorrow on any team. So you have to go out there and participate — availability is the best ability."

A nice sentiment. But right now, it seems like making the team should be the least of Jones' worries.
