Dolphins' Byron Jones Hints at Retirement, Says He Can't Run or Jump After Injuries

Cornerback Byron Jones, who missed the 2022 season but is signed with the Miami Dolphins through 2024, reflected on his NFL career with a level of regret given his "chronic pain and disabilities."

Jones responded to a 2015 tweet from the NFL calling him "Mr. Broad Jump" ahead of that year's draft and wrote "Today I can't run or jump because of my injuries sustained playing this game. DO NOT take the pills they give you. DO NOT take the injections they give you. If you absolutely must, consult an outside doctor to learn the long-term implications.
