But overall, the workload was less than his rookie season, when he started six of the final nine games and seven total. He had an interception, two sacks and seven passes defensed in 2017 but added just one sack and two passes defensed last year, shifting between safety and a hybrid linebacker role in the dime defense for coordinator Mike Pettine.
Jones said he understood the moves Gutekunst made at safety in the offseason to help the defense because the unit as a whole had “underperformed.” The Packers signed free agent Adrian Amos and traded up to draft Darnell Savage in the first round.
But he didn’t go into any other details about his feelings or his place on the team, except to say his hamstring will be healthy by training camp. Pettine noted he sees no issues with Jones’ knowledge of the scheme, in terms of the time he missed this spring.
