Jacoby Jones: Released by Steelers

Steelers' Jacoby Jones: Benched after fumbling twice
Jacoby Jones was benched after fumbling two first-half kick returns in Pittsburgh's win over Indianapolis on Sunday.Signed last month off waivers from San Diego, Jones finished with just 19 total return yards and one lost fumble. In four game with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jones has averaged 24.4 yards per kick return and 3.2 yards per punt return. His roster spot may be in jeopardy, especially after Antonio Brown, who took over for Jones, returned a punt 71 yards for a touchdown.

Jacoby Jones: Released by Chargers
The Chargers released Jacoby Jones on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.After agreeing to a two-year deal at the outset of free agency in March, the Jacoby-Jones-in-San-Diego experiment didn't go as planned, to say the least. While failing to be targeted even once, his handful of excursions as a returner yielded few positive results (five punt returns for minus-four yards, but nine kick returns for 193 yards). With Jones out of the picture, the Chargers could turn to Javontee Herndon in the return game.

Chargers' Jacoby Jones: Return game is non-existent
Through the first half of the season, Jacoby Jones has failed to breathe any life into the San Diego Chargers return game, which is historically bad at this stage, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.Jones returned one punt on Sunday at Baltimore, and he collided with a teammate for a 2-yard loss. The Chargers unbelievably have just one punt-return yard this season through eight games. That trails only the 1972 Patriots for the worst in NFL history after half of a season. In fairness to Jones, he has dealt with an ankle injury for better part of this season, but he was brought in on a two-year $5.5 million contract specifically to address San Diego's woeful return game, and he has quite obviously not done the job. With eight games to go, and the Chargers season pretty much over at 2-6, it seems unlikely that Jones will make it to the second year of that deal.
