Raiders place Chandler Jones on non-football illness list due to personal matter
Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Chandler Jones has been placed on the team’s non-football illness list and will be out indefinitely as he deals with a personal issue, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday.
Jones previously was inactive for the first two games of the season and has not practiced this month.
“It’s a personal situation and a private matter,” Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said on Sept. 6 of Jones’ absence. “We have dealt with it, and I am not going to talk about it.”
Jones recorded 4.5 sacks in 15 games for the Raiders last season, his first in Las Vegas.
