Jones, 35, is a former fourth-round pick of the Raiders back in 2011. He was in the final year of his four-year, $5 million contract when the Raiders released him in 2017. 

Jones later signed a one-year contract with the Bills and spent two seasons in Buffalo before joining the Texans in 2019. He returned to Buffalo for a few seasons before joining the Giants this summer. 

In 2023, Jones appeared in two games for the Giants but has yet to record a statistic.

. He was targeted twice but otherwise did not record a stat on offense.
