Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones was suspended five games by the NFL for violating its personal conduct policy.
Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones was suspended five games by the NFL on Friday for violating its personal conduct policy.
Jones and the mother of his child — who was reportedly visiting Jones’ family — were allegedly arguing over custody last year, and it ended with “several small scratches” that resembled fingernail marks,Following one night in the Duval County Jail, Jones was reportedly released on a $2,503 bond, and in March, the charge was dropped because the state attorney’s office “declines to prosecute this defendant for these charges,” the AP reported.
The NFL’s decision means the Cardinals will be without Jones — one of their wideouts tasked with collecting targets from Kyler Murray behind No. 3 overall pick Marvin Harrison Jr. — for more than a month to open their 2024 campaign, with Jones eligible to return for Arizona’s Oct. 13 game on the road against the Packers.
“There’s a reason he’s played at a high level on a couple different teams in some different offenses,” Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Friday,. “He picks things up really quick. He understands the nuances of what needs to get done from the receiver position. Can play all three. He’s been fantastic. High, high football IQ.
The yards marked Jones’ best since his second year in the NFL when he compiled 652 in 2018 with the Bills — the organization that drafted him in the second round out of East Carolina in 2017 — before then playing with three teams after the next four seasons.
