The Bulldogs held a 31-13 lead at the time of the departure. Jones recorded two tackles and one pass break up before exiting the contest. Syracuse transfer Kaylib Singleton is listed as the primary backup on the Mississippi State depth chart. The status of Jones remains unconfirmed as the game continues in Minneapolis.
