Re: Around the NFL Week 2

During one of his touchdowns, Jones lost a necklace that contained a portion of his father's ashes. Jones' father died earlier this year at the age of 56 due to complications with COVID-19.

Despite losing the pendant, Jones had a positive attitude after the game.

"He'd be happy. He'd be like: 'If you lose it anywhere, lose it in the end zone,'" Jone said in a post-game interview.

Late on Monday night, Jones' already heartwarming story came to an even warmer conclusion.

Matt Schneidman, who covers the Packers for The Athletic, posted a video of Packers trainer Bryan Engel scouring the Packers' end zone late into the night, searching for the lost pendant.

He found it, with Jones sending him his heartfelt thanks on Twitter.

"[He] found it, so we're perfect," Jones said on Tuesday morning, speaking with "The Steve Czaban Show" on 97.3 The Game in Milwaukee. "Thank you to him. He was out there until 1:45 [a.m. CT]. It shows how much they care about us."

Randomly ran across this .. good for Steve. He was my fav DC radio sports guy.

Glad he landed on his feet and maybe upgraded. Talk Pack is better than talking Skins.
