Miami Dolphins claim defensive tackle Chris Jones off waivers

The New England Patriots are notorious for claiming players off of waivers from opposing AFC East teams, and Monday the Miami Dolphins returned the favor by adding yet another cog to their defense, claiming defensive tackle Chris Jones off of waivers from the Patriots.

Jones, 6’-1” and 295 pounds, is a fourth-year player from Bowling Green and was originally drafted in the sixth round by the Houston Texans in 2013. He was waived in the preseason that year, claimed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and then waived again before the regular season began. He was then claimed by the Patriots, where he started and played well for two seasons before missing 2015 with an injury.
