Colts Cut, Titans Snap Up Jaylon Jones | Indianapolis Colts News

0:00On September 11th, so the Indianapolis Colts decided to let go of cornerback Jalen Jones earlier this week. He was a pretty solid player for them, even starting a good chunk of games in his first couple of seasons. The team brought in some new talent at cornerback, like Saus Gardner and Charvarius Ward, and with other guys stepping up, Jones just wasn't as crucial anymore. But here's the twist, the Tennessee Titans who were in the same division as the Colts scooped him right up. They didn't even put him on the practice squad. He's going straight onto their main 53-man roster. This move happened on Thursday, and they had to cut another cornerback, Melvin Smith Jr., to make room for him. Jones was a seventh round pick back in 2023. He actually started 10 games his rookie year, and then played in and started all 17 games in 2024. Last season, he racked up two interceptions, broke up 12 passes, forced the fumble, and made 100 tackles. He's known for being a physical player who's good at tackling.

1:01The Titans have been dealing with some injuries at the cornerback position, with two players on injured reserve. They clearly saw Jones's experience having started 29 NFL games as a valuable asset. They needed that depth, and decided his proven ability was a better fit than the less experienced Melvin Smith Jr. It's always interesting when players move between division rivals, especially when it happens so quickly after being cut. The Titans are looking to bolster their secondary, and Jones, despite being let go by the Colts, brings a lot of game experience to the table for his. New team.
