Jones originally signed with the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent out of Maryland in the 2020 NFL Draft. Jones was waived before Week 1 of the 2020 season and quickly caught on with the Bengals.
Jones spent 3 seasons at Ohio State in college, mostly playing a reserve role. Jones transferred to Maryland in 2019, where he would have his most effective season.
The Bengals will host the Ravens on Sunday, Jan. 15 at 8:15 pm ET.
