He attempted to run with it, but was quickly met by a few Chargers players. Jones tried to shake one player, but then absorbed a huge hit from another Chargers special teamer, which knocked his helmet off. He turned and kept running, though, but was then met by another Chargers player, who led with his helmet and hit Jones right in the head. It was an extremely scary moment, as Jones, without his helmet, was unprotected, which left him vulnerable.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Very dangerous.<br \/>Hope only laceration on head.<br \/>Helmets were developed to prevent skull fractures (not concussions). <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fmQOuLde4v\">pic.twitter.com\/fmQOuLde4v<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; David J.
