INDIANAPOLIS -- Former Washington Redskins running back Matt Jones was one of five players the Indianapolis Colts claimed off waivers Sunday.
Jones, a third-round pick in 2015, was released from the Redskins after being told during the offseason that he didn't fit into the team's long-term plans. He began last season as Washington's starting running back before losing the job and being a healthy inactive for the final eight games.
Jones rushed for 950 yards and six touchdowns in his two seasons in Washington. One of his biggest problems was an inability to hold on to the ball.
