Chiefs’ Chris Jones: ‘I would change it’ if given another chance to avoid a holdout

— Given another chance, Chris Jones acknowledged Wednesday that he would have changed the way he approached his holdout with the Kansas City Chiefs, which the All-Pro defensive tackle carried through the offseason, training camp and preseason right through their season-opening loss to the Detroit Lions. “When you have a lot of new guys, it’s kind of tough to be away, especially in the defensive line room,” said Jones, who was back at practice two days after agreeing to a reworked one-year deal that could amount to a raise if certain incentives are hit. “I would change it, but I’m grateful for how it turned out.” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he expects Jones to be on the field in some capacity Sunday in Jacksonville. “I don’t want to go back and forth during the season,” Jones said.
