The New England Patriots released safety Don Jones on Thanksgiving.

It's a curious move considering that he has seven speical-teams takcles in nine games.

Jones was claimed off waivers in September from the Miami Dolphins.

Jones is a former Dolphins seventh-round draft pick from Arkansas State.

He played in all 16 games as a rookie with the Dolphins and led the team with 11 special teams tackles.
