Per Justin Rogers, the Lions are releasing veteran WR Marvin Jones so that he can step away from the team for the remainder of the season and focus on personal, and family matters.
Jones, 33, is a former fifth-round pick of the Bengals back in 2012. He played out his rookie contract before signing a five-year, $40 million contract that includes $20 million guaranteed with the Lions in 2016.
Jones joined the Jaguars on a two-year, $14.5 million contract in 2021. He returned to the Lions this past March on a one-year contract worth up to $5 million.
In 2023, Jones appeared in four games for the Lions and caught five passes for 35 yards.
We will have more news on Jones as it becomes available.
