Foxboro cops: Pats' Chandler Jones sought medical help early Sunday

[RIpats88]

This board has officially jumped the shark....i dont get gronk missing practice today has to do with jones being in the hospital sunday

Cleary jones is fine since he has practiced the past two days

Incoming NFL probe into 'alleged' prescription drug abuse throughout the Patriots organization.

If the OD rumors are true, I'm just praying for Chandler right now, not worried about the rest. Accidental I'd hope.

Edit: When I say accidental I mean like he accidentally took an extra dose of a prescribed medication. I'd hate to think he is abusing drugs.

Drug abuse runs in the jones family unfortunately.

Gronk missing from practice Chandler overdosing on pills, something happened.

Gronk was present yesterday as was CJ. This supposedly happened Sunday Morning at 7:40am.

The OD story doesn't make sense unless he pulled an all nighter or got up and popped a handful of **** he didn't know.

Plus he supposedly went to the police station himself and left his house open.

Something happened, what we may never know but wasn't criminal and not to serious to be at practice on Monday.

 

[Rob0729]

Not what I want to see. Hopefully, it is something that is being blown out of proportion, but it is very disconcerting.

I know they had the weekend off, but that did not include the freedom to pop what looks to be recreational drugs.

 

[SlowGettingUp]

The OD story doesn't pass the smell test - the fact that he went to the nearby police station, was then admitted to the hospital and then showed up for practice the next morning (the verifiable facts here) just don't square with that story.

The fact that the original story mentioned Gronk - that's verifiably wrong - also lessens any veracity it might have.

Here's the latest version FWIW (not very much in my view):

Report: Chandler Jones overdosed on pills

 

[VectorPrime]

Belichick's black eye is really looking suspicious considering all this.

 

[Gronkowski123]

overdosed????? wtf??

hope gronk wasnt popping molly

[patsfan06]

Yeah, the whole OD'ing story really doesn't pass the smell test.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Just what this team needs a few days before a playoff game, a distraction revolving around a pill overdose of a star player....ugh

They are not entirely credible given they accuse a man who was veritably 1500 miles away. Jones dealt with the police and was at practice the next day. Could have been food allergy, prescription drug issue, anything but I bet this gets more press than manning getting HGH through his Dr and wife.

 

[patfanken]

Wanna bet this will get more coverage from the mediots this week than HGHgate in the last 2.

 

[BelichickFan]

Whatever the truth is, Belichick's press conference tomorrow will be one for the ages.

No bet needed.

it will be top story by midnight tonight on BSPN.....

Thanks for the dose of realism. I agree.

 

[Joey007]

I don't want to speculate, but he had been oddly quiet the last couple weeks on social media. Really hope it was accidental..

 

[VectorPrime]

Whatever the truth is, Belichick's press conference tomorrow will be one for the ages.

He's finally going to let loose that loogie he's been building up for the past 8 years.

Any way you slice it, this is very bad news. KC is gonna come in here breathing fire, really don't need any distractions.
