Chargers release wide receiver James Jones

The former Green Bay Packers receiver was released from the team today.

As first reported by Annie Heilbrunn, the San Diego Chargers today released wide receiver James Jones. While clearly more talented than the likes of Dontrelle Inman (who will almost certainly make the final 53-man roster), Jones had reportedly struggled to learn the playbook after joining the team after training camp was already underway.

It’s unfortunate that Jones was not able to make the team, but it should come as no surprise given that he was consistently running with the second-team offense in preseason and was seeing limited snaps and targets doing so.
