Jacoby Jones: Released by Chargers

The Chargers released Jones on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After agreeing to a two-year deal at the outset of free agency in March, the Jacoby-Jones-in-San-Diego experiment didn't go as planned, to say the least. While failing to be targeted even once, his handful of excursions as a returner yielded few positive results (five punt returns for minus-four yards, but nine kick returns for 193 yards). With Jones out of the picture, the Chargers could turn to Javontee Herndon in the return game.
