Retired WR Donald Jones underwent a kidney transplant in December, and is now playing baseball for the Atlantic League Somerset (N.J.) Patriots.

Still only 26, Jones' kidney issues forced his retirement last August. It appears it will be permanent. Jones finished his football career with 82 catches for 887 yards and six touchdowns across 35 games.

Retired WR Donald Jones may require a kidney transplant after receiving a "major scare" during a August workout for the Colts.

As Jones was on a treadmill taking a stress test, his blood pressure skyrocketed to 250 over 110. "That," said Jones, "was definitely a new thing." Jones is consulting with former basketball player Alonzo Mourning, who had a kidney transplant in 2003 and returned to play hoops. Jones is only 25 years old.

Ex-Bills WR Donald Jones has decided to retire because of issues with his kidneys.

Free agent WR Donald Jones will work out for the Titans Tuesday and the Colts Wednesday.

The Titans are overloaded at wideout with Kenny Britt, Kendall Wright, Nate Washington, Justin Hunter and Kevin Walter. They're just updating their emergency list. The Colts could be looking for someone to act as a No. 4 wideout while LaVon Brazill serves his four-game suspension.

Patriots waived WR Donald Jones.

According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, the Patriots "want to get their young guys reps." Jones signed a three-year contract with New England in March, but the deal contained no guaranteed money. This move would seem to improve veteran Molasses Michael Jenkins' chances of making the final 53-man roster.

ESPN Boston anticipates Donald Jones and Michael Jenkins competing for one roster spot in New England.

Jones signed a three-year contract and Jenkins inked for one season, but neither player has any guaranteed money. With Aaron Dobson and Josh Boyce added in the draft and Julian Edelman re-signed behind Danny Amendola, the Pats have one receiver spot available. Matt Slater will make it on special teams.

Patriots agreed to terms with WR Donald Jones, formerly of the Bills, on a three-year contract.

Jones was a restricted free agent who wasn't tendered a contract by Buffalo. He's the second receiver the Patriots have signed since letting Wes Welker walk, but unlike Danny Amendola, he won't be guaranteed a roster spot. Still only 25, Jones should compete for a spot on the outside, but has never been particularly productive. He also has a long injury history, missing a combined 12 games the past two seasons. He's in a good position to crack New England's 53-man roster, but will need a strong camp. He's unlikely to come onto the fantasy radar.

Free agent WR Donald Jones will visit the Patriots Thursday.

Bills non-tendered WR Donald Jones, making him an unrestricted free agent.

A source tells WGR 550 that the Bills are working on a contract extension with impending restricted free agent Donald Jones.

Instead of slapping Jones with a one-year tender, they're interested in locking him up with a long-term deal. The former undrafted free agent out of Youngstown State is coming off his best NFL season as he posted 41 catches for 443 yards and four touchdowns. Jones best fits as a No. 3 or 4 wideout behind Stevie Johnson and a play-making wideout the Bills bring in.

Bills WR Donald Jones (non-football/illness list) is confident that he will be "back in May and ready to go" for OTAs.

Jones has kept the illness private, though it's believed to be a minor kidney disorder. He insists the issue has never hampered him "football-wide," and the only reason he was shut down in December was because the medicine weighed him down. "It's nothing life-threatening or anything like that," added Jones, a restricted a free agent.

The Bills placed WR Donald Jones on the non-football/illness list due to a mystery illness.

Jones said the condition is "not career-threatening at all" and that it's something he has been "dealing with for years." He told the Buffalo News last year that a "minor kidney disorder" discovered during the 2010 NFL combine kept him off some teams' draft boards. It's uncertain if Jones is currently dealing with the same ailment.

Bills declared WR Donald Jones (calf) inactive for Sunday's Week 15 game against the Seahawks.

Jones can't get over the hump with this nagging calf strain. It gives T.J. Graham another chance to start opposite Stevie Johnson. The rest of the Bills' inactives: QB Tarvaris Jackson, CB Leodis McKelvin, CB T.J. Heath, DL Jay Ross, C Eric Wood and OL Chris Scott.

Although he got in a full week of practice, Donald Jones (calf) is questionable for Week 15.

Jones is going to play against the Seahawks in Toronto, but will be a bottom-of-the-barrel WR4/5. He's Rotoworld's No. 58 receiver for Week 15.

Bills WR Donald Jones (calf) is practicing in full this week.

Jones sat out Sunday's win over the Jags, but he will play in Week 14 against the Rams. While he'll serve as the Bills' No. 2 receiver, his low ceiling doesn't make him a particularly attractive WR3 option for the fantasy playoffs.

Bills coach Chan Gailey expects Donald Jones (calf) to practice Wednesday, and to play in Week 14, barring a setback.

Jones missed Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but should return to No. 2 duties against the Rams. Averaging just 3.5 catches for 37.3 yards, Jones won't be a viable WR3 for the fantasy playoffs.

Coach Chan Gailey did not express much concern over the calf injury that kept Donald Jones out of Week 13.

It sounds like Jones has a good shot to play in next week's game against the Rams. "It was as much precautionary as it was him being in bad shape," Gailey said. T.J. Graham started opposite Stevie Johnson against the Jags, recording two catches for 54 yards.

Bills declared WR Donald Jones, QB Tarvaris Jackson, CB Aaron Williams, LB Kirk Morrison, OL Thomas Welch, DE Chris Kelsay, DE Mark Anderson, and DE Chris Kelsay inactive for Week 13.

Expect T.J. Graham to pick up snaps opposite Stevie Johnson, with Marcus Easley moving into the lineup in multi-wide sets. Jones had been averaging less than 40 yards per game as a starter, so there's not much fantasy potential here.

Donald Jones (calf) was limited in Bills practice again Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Jaguars.

Jones has failed to clear 20 yards in back-to-back weeks, and wouldn't be a strong fantasy option in Week 13. He should be active for the game, however.

Donald Jones (calf) was limited again in Thursday's practice.

Jones is 55th in fantasy points this season, averaging 37 yards per game. He only belongs in the fantasy lineups of those gunning for least amount of points possible.
