Sidney Jones hasn’t played this season. He won’t play Sunday. And the rookie cornerback might not play a game until next season. But the sight of No. 22 participating in drills at the Eagles’ practice Wednesday was new to everyone who knew of Jones’ potential but has not seen him play in Philadelphia.
“It’s been a long journey,” Jones said by his locker Wednesday in his first extended comments since the spring.
Jones’ 2017 practice debut came at the Eagles’ indoor facility Wednesday in their first session preparing for the New York Giants. He has been on the non-football injury list after tearing an Achilles tendon during the University of Washington pro day in March.
