DETROIT | Over the course of his career, Washington Redskins running back Matt Jones has fumbled the ball eight times.
Jones has only played 20 games.
Following two fumbles (one that wasn’t Jones’ fault) on Sunday in the first half of a 20-17 loss to the Detroit Lions, Redskins coach Jay Gruden appeared to bench his starting running back in favor of Chris Thompson.
Jones would eventually work his way back into the regular rotation, as Gruden said he is his starting running back. However, Gruden added one little bit of information that may not favor Jones too well.
