FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Cyrus Jones was sure his tenure with the Patriots was over when he was cut at the end of training camp earlier this month.
New England chose to sever ties with the cornerback and return man, a second-round pick in 2016, after an underwhelming two-year tenure.
It included fumble issues and a right knee injury that caused him to miss the 2017 season.
It is why Jones said he was “blown away” when he got a call from his agent Monday night saying that the Patriots wanted to re-sign him.
A deal was completed, and Jones was added to the 53-man roster on Wednesday.
