Colin Jones: Let go by Panthers
The Panthers granted Jones' request to be released Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
With the Panthers likely heading in the direction of a rebuild, the 32-year-old veteran elected to pursue opportunities elsewhere. Jones was a special-teams captain for the Panthers this past season, logging nine tackles (seven solo) across 418 special-teams snaps. Expect Jones to operate in his usual capacity for whichever team signs him heading into 2020.

Jones (calf) was participating at Monday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Panthers' Colin Jones: Dealing with illness
Jones is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns due to an illness.
Jones was a non-participant at practice throughout the week, but the undisclosed illness apparently isn't serious enough to rule him out just yet. The 31-year-old has played only 12 defensive snaps since Eric Reid debuted with the Panthers in Week 5, so the defense is unlikely to be impacted should he be unable to suit up.

Panthers' Colin Jones: Will serve secondary role
Jones will serve a secondary role at free safety following the acquisition of Eric Reid, Brendan Marks of the Charlotte Observer reports.
Reid was named the starter ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, but coach Ron Rivera said Jones and Rashaan Gaulden should remain involved on defense. The 31-year-old is likely to remain in a reserve role as long as Reid and Mike Adams remain healthy.
