BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Reakwon Jones has been rocked. You bet he has. Fairness sometimes seems like a myth, whether it's a Florida family home destroyed by a Category 5 hurricane, or NFL draft preparations altered by Covid-19.

Rocked, in this case, doesn't mean broken.

"It's another one of those things that's out of my control," Indiana's former linebacker says. "I've got to let things play out."
