HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders placed defensive end Chandler Jones on the non-football illness list, according to the league's official transactions wire, as the 11-year veteran continues to work through what has been described as a personal matter.
Jones has been away from the team since Labor Day weekend, when he began a barrage of social media posts aimed at the Raiders in general, owner Mark Davis, general manager Dave Ziegler and coach Josh McDaniels in particular, alternately saying that he no longer wanted to play for the team and also wondering why he was not welcomed back.
