Former Colts defensive tackle Arthur Jones died at the age of 39.

Jones played for the Colts from 2014-2016, appearing in 17 games (11 starts). He totaled 53 tackles, 1.5 sacks and four tackles for a loss; he also appeared in all three of the Colts' playoff games in 2014, collecting 11 tackles with one quarterback hit.

A native of Rochester, N.Y., Jones was a 2010 fifth-round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens from Syracuse. Jones spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Ravens, totaling 120 tackles, 8.5 sacks, 13 tackles for a loss and 22 quarterback hits in Baltimore.

Jones also appeared in six playoff games during his time with the Ravens. Those playoff appearances included Baltimore's Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers, in which Jones sacked 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick early in the third quarter of the Ravens' 34-31 triumph.

After leaving the Colts, Jones spent time with Washington in 2017 before announcing his retirement from the NFL.

Jones' younger brother, Chandler Jones, played 11 years in the NFL (2012-2022) and totaled 112 sacks.
