Jones II (hamstring) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.48 seconds at his pro day Thursday, Joey Kaufman of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
A hamstring injury suffered at the combine has clouded Jones' pre-draft process as he was considered as high as the No.2 back in the class heading into Indianapolis. As a player that carries a 'speed back' label, it was crucial for Jones to turn in a better time than the 4.65 he posted at the combine when he pulled his hamstring. The 4.48 time for Thursday isn't exceptional for someone with sights set on running a sub-4.4 time, but Jones' effort was still strong and it's still possible that his hamstring isn't back to full health. In all, it's good that Jones was able to turn in a sub-4.5 time at his pro day, but the momentum behind him being a first-round pick has halted. Jones likely projects as an early second-round pick, but if last year was any indication, plenty of valuable backs go after the first 32 picks.

Jones requested and received his release from the Eagles' reserve/retired list Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis

Jones announced Tuesday that he is retiring from the NFL.
EDGE Analysis
Fresh of his first Super Bowl win, Jones has elected to call it a career after 14 seasons in the NFL. Jones punted for five different teams during that stretch, but he spent the final five seasons of his career in Philadelphia. As of now, Cameron Johnston is the only other punter the Eagles have on their roster after they signed him to a futures contract, but it's possible they could add some competition this offseason.

Jones punted six times in Week 1 and had a net average of 39.2 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Jones 72-yard punt against the Browns was the second longest of his career. Not bad for a 36-year old punter in his 13th season. He hasn't missed a game since becoming a starter in 2005 and doesn't seem likely to slow down any time soon.

Eagles signed P Donnie Jones, formerly of the Texans. He's replacing Mat McBriar, who's been released. Jones is coming off a solid season for the Texans, but was let go in favor of Shane Lechler. Jones has spent the past six years kicking in domes, so he could find the great outdoors of Lincoln Financial Field challenging.
