Jacoby Jones Tripped Out of Steelers Returners Job

The Jacoby Jones experiment by the Pittsburgh Steelers lasted a mere four games before he fumbled his way out of it.

After fumbling both a kickoff and punt return in Pittsburgh’s win over Indianapolis, Jones has been demoted as the Steelers’ primary kickoff and punt returner.
