UPDATE: Jones Suffered “Bad Reaction” To Substance, Not Overdose

Early yesterday, reports began circulating that New England Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones sought medical treatment for an undisclosed issue Sunday Morning. 

As the day progressed, more and more outlets began looking for answers as to why the first time pro bowler sought help. Some reports claimed that he had been partying at teammate Rob Gronkowski's house and had taken pills there, though those rumors proved to be false.

By the end of the day, reports from the producer of the Dennis & Callahan Show claimed that the fourth year pro had overdosed on a substance. It appears, today, that those claims were also incorrect, however.

According to a new report from the Boston Globe, it appears that Jones was suffering from a "bad reaction" to a substance, not an overdose, when he showed up at the Foxboro Police Department looking for medical attention.

The report also mentioned recordings from dispatch communications, in which one officer, who was sent to Jones home to secure the residence, noted that the player was "definitely involved with" a Class D substance.

In Massachusetts, Class D drugs include marijuana and phenobarbitol, a prescription drug, according to ESPN Patriots insider Mike Reiss, who claimed Jones had a bad reaction to a legal substance.

It is still not completely clear what Jones was suffering from and how this all started, but the star hasn't missed a beat in terms of work as he's been a present contributor to the team's meetings and practices since Monday. Aside from the fact that his teammates were badgered with media questions today, about his mysterious hospital visit, it hasn't seemed to throw the team off script, either.

While the whole situation seems a bit sketchy, whatever he was suffering from does not appear to be life or career threatening, so fans should be happy that he's back on the field and appears healthy enough to help this Patriots team advance in the postseason.

Leading the team with 12.5 sacks this season, Jones has been a difference maker on defense all year long. His presence along the Patriots' front line creates havoc for opponents.
