Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones appeared to retire as he took to social media to lament his injuries and criticise the NFL medical practices.
Jones missed the entire 2022 season after he was placed on the physically unable to perform list. Achilles surgery in March 2022 meant the 30-year-old failed to pass a physical, keeping him from returning to the Dolphins, who were eliminated by the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.
Jones’ recovery did not proceed as originally planned, which led to him unexpectedly missing the entirety of last season. On Saturday, the 2018 Pro Bowler decided to send a number of messages on social media warning players against the NFL medical practices used on him, while he sent another post that seemed to allude to his potential retirement.
