Prosecutors announced the following decision: "It cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Jones had knowledge that he possessed the firearms in his bag at the time of the incident."

Jones was a fourth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He totaled 20 tackles and two interceptions last season.
