Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones suffered some type of health emergency serious enough that he was hospitalized on Sunday, but he was back at practice on Monday.
“Chandler Jones was admitted to the hospital on Sunday and released that day,” the Patriots confirmed in a statement to the Boston Herald. “He reported to work on time Monday morning and has participated in all meetings and practices since then.”
The Herald reports that Jones was rushed to the hospital on Sunday morning after he went to the Foxboro Police Department with a medical emergency, but police refused to say what the emergency was. Police also deleted information about the Jones situation from their dispatch records.
Foxboro Police Chief Edward T. O’Leary initially denied that his department had any dealing with Jones but then admitted later that at least five officers were involved in evaluating Jones in a parking lot at the police station. He said he had denied it earlier “because it was a medical call. I didn’t look at it as a police specific call.”
There has been no reporting about the nature of Jones’ medical emergency, other than that it did not prevent Jones from practicing.
