Jones had already been away from the team for two weeks when he went on the NFI list, and he missed the team’s final training camp practice on Aug. 31. On Sept. 5, Jones accused the Raiders on Instagram of barring him from team headquarters, stating, among other things, that he no longer wanted to play for the Raiders and had an issue with McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler.
