Dan Campbell lays out why Marvin Jones was placed on the non-football injury list

One of the more interesting developments of the first day of Detroit Lions training camp came when the team placed veteran WR Marvin Jones on the non-football injury list. It was a surprising move after seeing Jones look fine during the June minicamp.

Head coach Dan Campbell was asked about why Jones was placed on the NFI list. Campbell did not seem too concerned as he answered before Monday’s practice session,

“Yeah he had a little back issue right before he came here,” Campbell said of Jones. “It’s nothing major.”

Campbell added that “we knew we weren’t going to start him out at practice” and “we’re not in any hurry to get him back.”

Jones is expected to play a valuable reserve role in the offense in his second stint in Detroit.
