....a 6'5" 320# DT that had 1 tackle in 2 games in a backup role for the Jags last season. He was a former 3rd round selection out of Iowa in the 2015 draft by Baltimore. After playing 2 seasons for the Ravens, he had no starts for the Browns, then Colts, and then Jags. He was a free agent, and got suspended for 4 games in February for a performance enhancing substance. The front office must have no faith in Jones or Russell.

I'm surprised I'm the first to say this. Getting the band back together for a ... CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
They probably view Jones as a valuable rotational player with limited reps. He's just not beefy enough or disruptive enough to be a starter. Russell is like deadweight. I hope Benito Jones or another fatty NT will be brought in to replace him.
Thank God there is the Jaguars to at least keep people employed during COVID-19
