The Texans
cut Jones last week, a move that follows him mishandling a punt during an AFC divisional playoff loss to the Ravens that led to a Baltimore touchdown. Jones fell out of favor after fumbling twice in that game, losing one, with fans scapegoating him for the defeat to Baltimore. As Times staffer Aaron Wilson notes, the Ravens have two established starters in Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith, but have no proven option at the third receiver spot. Tandon Doss, David Reed, LaQuan Williams and rookie Tommy Streeter represent the Ravens' current options. Jones caught 31 passes for 512 yards and two touchdowns last season. For his career, Jones has 127 receptions for 1,741 yards and 11 touchdowns. He is a highly-regarded return man, averaging 10.6 yards per punt return with three touchdowns. He has a career 23.3 yard average on kickoff returns with one score.
