 The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that Jones was put on a
backboard with his neck immobilized and was carted off the practice
field.
Jones was motionless and had his eyes closed as he exited, according
to ESPN.com
"We certainly hope Terren is going to be all right," coach Mike
Smith said. "Any time a player doesn't leave the field on his own
power, you're always concerned about it."
The 22-year-old out of Alabama State joined the team as an undrafted
free agent in 2013. He spent most of last season on the practice
squad.
Also during practice, rookie defensive lineman Ra'Shede Hageman
exited the field and did not return with what is believed to be a
hairline fracture in his wrist, according ESPN. Hageman threw a
punch at center Joe Hawley during pass rush drills and received
medical attention immediately after the scuffle.
