New England Patriots cornerback Jack Jones was arrested on June 16 at a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint after two loaded guns were found in his luggage at Boston's Logan International Airport, and he had his probable cause hearing pushed back from last Friday to Sept. 15, according to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk.

Sept. 15 is during week 2 of the NFL schedule, and the Patriots will be preparing for a matchup against the Miami Dolphins at home on Sunday Night Football. However, Jack Jones said he is doing his best to focus on football.

“I mean, at times, it can be difficult, but I try not to let the outside affect what's going on on the field,” Jones said to reporters after Wednesday's practice, according to Williams. “So I try to come out here and just focus on football and let the outside be the outside and worry about that outside.”
