Former Arkansas running back Felix Jones had a pretty rough week.
The Dallas Cowboys running back caught 4 passes for 40 yards, but there was a problem: Jones lost a fumble on the opening kickoff in a 27-7 loss to Seattle. Now, it could cost Jones his job as the Dallas kick returner.
“We’re always looking at personnel, to be honest with you, and when you make a play like that, you look hard again at that and what the alternatives are,” Dallas coach Jason Garrett told ESPNDallas.com.
It didn’t go much better, statistically speaking, for other former Razorbacks in the NFL during week two.
In fact, Kansas City running back Peyton Hillis enjoyed the best statistical week (91 total yards), but it came in a 35-17 loss to Buffalo.
