Jones posted many Instagram stories about his Raider's dissatisfaction.

He refused to play for the team if Josh McDaniels was head coach and Dave Ziegler was general manager.

The 33-year-old said the Raiders shut him out of the team facilities to “provoke” him. Screenshots are here.

McDaniels told reporters Wednesday that Jones had a “personal situation.

The coach wouldn't say if Jones will participate in the Raiders' season opener against the Broncos on Sunday.

Personal condition and issue. We resolved it, so I won't discuss it, McDaniels said.

McDaniels said the Raiders are taking Jones "one day at a time" and would not comment.

Jones signed a three-year, $51 million Raiders contract last summer.

Restructuring the agreement in April to create a salary cap room suggests that everything was OK between the two parties.
