Bengals place CB Jones on IR
Dec 9, 2017 - 7:48 PM The Cincinnati Bengals placed cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones on injured reserve, the team announced Saturday.The 34-year-old Jones injured his groin while making a diving interception of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in Monday night's 23-20 loss. He was ruled out of the game in the first quarter and did not practice this week.
Jones finished his 11th NFL season and eighth for the Bengals with 23 tackles, one interception and four passes defensed in nine games, all starts. He also was one of the team's kick and punt returners.
Jones missed three games this season after playing with a transverse process fracture in his back and dealing with a hip injury. The sixth overall pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2005 has 16 career interceptions.
This could be the final season in Cincinnati for Jones, who is in the last year of his contract extension signed in 2016.
Jones will be replaced by second-year cornerback William Jackson III, the Bengals' first-round pick in 2016.
