The 6-0, 195-pounder career totals include 53 rushing attempts for 223 yards, 19 receptions for 260 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown, 84 kickoff returns for a 22.7-yard average and 79 special teams tackles.

Jones entered the league as a fourth-round draft choice with the Raiders in 2011, from Eastern Washington.
