Sources: Pats DE had reaction to legal substance

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones had a bad reaction to a substance "that is not illegal" on Sunday, which led to him being admitted to a local hospital, sources tell ESPN.

On Wednesday, citing a source familiar with the situation, the Boston Globe also reported that Jones did not overdose on a drug such as cocaine or heroin. The report noted that Jones lives near the Foxborough police station, and he walked there to seek help after the bad reaction.

A source told the Globe that Jones was present at the Patriots facility the next morning at 6:30 a.
