They’ve spent the last eight months trying to heal — together as a family — so it’s easy to understand why Lions receiver Marvin Jones wouldn’t be eager to dig into a scar that’s still fresh and painful, just because a relative stranger asks.
But Jones, in a media session ahead of next week's official start of training camp in Allen Park, did share a few thoughts on the heartbreak he and his wife, Jazmyn, and their four children, endured last December after the Jones’ 6-month-old son, Marlo, died suddenly.
Less than 48 hours after that tragedy occurred, the Jones’ family was in attendance for the Lions’ season finale, part of an emotional scene at Ford Field, where the team held a moment of silence in Marlo’s honor before kickoff.
