HENDERSON, Nev. -- Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones will not play in Sunday's season opener at the Denver Broncos, which is no surprise given his continued absence and since-deleted social media posts criticizing the team this week.
Jones had posted on Instagram that he no longer wanted to play for Las Vegas before saying he would stop posting to social media if the team would let him play at Denver. He also said the Raiders sent a crisis response team to his house. He had been listed as a nonparticipant on the Raiders' injury report this week due to "not injury-related/personal" reasons.
