A reporter asked Jones about a report that defensive tackle Shy Tuttle, who sat out Saturday’s game with an “undisclosed” injury, had an orbital bone injury stemming from a fight with a teammate. Jones said Tuttle was injured when he “landed on a helmet.” Jones then launched into a diatribe about the media while inferring that the “drama” surrounding the program is caused by negative coverage.

The NFL reacted en masse to President Donald Trump’s out-of-nowhere attack upon the league with widespread anthem protests, statements and displays of unity from players, coaches and management.
