VIDEO: Chandler Jones Apologizes for Sunday's Incident

FOXBOROUGH, MA - New England Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones has apologized for his actions that put him in the hospital Sunday morning.

Thursday afternoon, Jones briefly spoke to the media at his locker after practice.

“I want to start by saying I made a pretty stupid mistake this weekend. Right now, my main focus is becoming the best player I can be and helping the team and focusing on Kansas City,” he said.

Jones declined to answer further questions about the incident, telling reporters he’s focused on the team’s AFC Divisional round game against the Chiefs.

“I know it sounds repetitive and like I’m repeating myself but that’s what it is right now, becoming the best 95 I can be and help this team out,” Jones said.

Sunday morning, the Patriots defensive end was spotted outside the Foxborough Public Safety building in a confused state. In his report, officer David Fosaldo said he saw an individual with a muscular build, over six feet tall, and long arms go through the cruiser lot towards the building’s back entrance for police in a hurried fashion. Without warning or provocation, Jones got down on his knees, with his hands behind his head.

No criminal activity took place during the incident and Jones was not charged, according to the report.

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick briefly touched on the Jones controversy during a scheduled press conference Thursday morning.

“There’s nothing more important to me than the health and well-being of our players, staff, and support people in our organization. That’s the way with it is in the organization and me personally and I don’t think that will ever change,” Belichick said. “We issued a statement on that I really don’t have anything to add to it,”

Belichick refused to answer any further questions about Jones.
