Marvin Jones Jr. Returns To Detroit Lions After Stint With Jacksonville Jaguars
In March 2021, Jones signed a two-year, $12.5 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In two seasons with the Jaguars, Jones registered 119 catches for 1,361 yards and seven touchdowns.
In the 2023 Wild Card Round, Jones caught a key touchdown pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence to help the Jaguars erase a 27-point deficit and defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 31-30.
Drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2012, the 33-year-old achieved the most success as a pro while playing for the Lions from 2016-2020. In 2017, Jones registered his only 1,000-yard season (1,101) and added nine receiving touchdowns.
For his career, Jones has 542 catches for 7,386 yards and 58 touchdowns
Jones announced his return to Detroit on his Twitter page.

Detroit Lions Enter 2023 NFL Season With Playoff Aspirations
The Detroit Lions were one of the best teams down the stretch a season ago. After a 1-6 start, the Lions won eight of their last 10 games to go 9-8, highlighted by a win in Lambeau against the Green Bay Packers in Week 18 to end their rival’s playoff hopes.
Jones will likely replace wide receiver D.J. Chark, who signed with the Carolina Panthers.
Jones will join a receiving corps that includes 1,000-yard receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and 2022 first-rounder Jameson Williams, who played sparingly in 2022 as he recovered from a torn ACL suffered at Alabama.
