Overview

  • In joint sessions with Detroit, the Miami cornerback said St. Brown beat him repeatedly and framed the experience as a catalyst for improvement.
  • Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver said Miami is asking Jones to press at the line, a departure from his preference to play off coverage.
  • The Lions rested St. Brown in the preseason game that followed, while Jones played and recorded a tackle in the Dolphins’ 24-17 win.
  • After the difficult reps last week, Jones was noted for breaking up a pass that led to an interception in Wednesday’s practice.
  • Cornerback Ethan Bonner suffered a hamstring injury in the Detroit game, affecting evaluations of depth and roles in the secondary.
