Suspended for start of season
The NFL suspended Jones three games Tuesday for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Jones signed a reserve/future contract with Minnesota in January and has been using training camp to try to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. The suspension will make him ineligible to see game action until Week 4, though Jones may ultimately end up on the Vikings' practice squad.
