The defensive end has not played this season and has behaved erratically on social media.
In a lengthy series of tweets earlier this month, Jones accused Raiders owner Davis of “keeping a big secret” and said he had been banned from the team’s facilities since he allegedly found out his goddaughter was being “harassed.” .
“I wish I could play with my brothers, but Marky Mark has a big secret that only I know!” Jones wrote before the Raiders’ 38-10 loss to the Bills.
Jones claimed Tuesday that he was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital by the Las Vegas Fire Department last week.
“I was taken in last week against my will by the Las Vegas Fire Department,” he said.
“I was injected with something, I don’t know what.” They say it was a court hearing and the Las Vegas police put me on it. I hadn’t done anything wrong. Police said people were worried about me because of my online posts.”

Jones later released a disturbing, tearful video in which he expressed doubts about the facts surrounding Hernandez’s death. The former patriot died by suicide in Massachusetts prison after being convicted of the murder of Odin Lloyd.
In the video about his former teammate Hernandez, Jones claimed, “Y’all don’t know what Josh McDaniels really did to Aaron Hernandez.” “Did you think Chico killed himself in prison?” Y’all think my idiot killed himself in prison killed?’
“Josh McDaniels had my twin Aaron Hernandez killed in the industrial park, not in prison,” Jones later wrote on Twitter.
Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported earlier this month that “Raiders players and others around the league share common concerns” about Jones and his well-being.
