In February, after ending his 14th NFL season as a Super Bowl champion with the Philadelphia Eagles, former LSU punter Donnie Jones announced his retirement.
By April, he changed his mind, as the Eagles removed him from the reserve/retirement list. With another punter under contract, they gave Jones his release.
Not until last week did Jones join another team, and Sunday (Oct. 7), he played his first game with the Los Angeles Chargers. His three punts in the Chargers' 26-10 victory all were caught or downed inside the 20.
But it was for more than just for his leg that the Chargers signed him.
