Chandler Jones wrote on social media Monday night that he was taken to a hospital "against my will" by the Las Vegas Fire Department and later transferred to a behavioral health facility last week.

Jones was placed on the non-football illness list last week by the Las Vegas Raiders with what the team has described as a personal matter.

He has been away from the team since Labor Day weekend when he began a series of social media posts aimed at the Raiders.

He wrote in his post to X on Monday night, "First day out but I'm still aligned," indicating that Monday was his first day out of the facility. He attached journal entries plus a statement of "patient rights" from the Seven Hills Behavioral Health Hospital in Las Vegas, highlighting sections of the document he believes were not followed by the facility.

The Raiders have repeatedly referred to Jones' situation as a private matter and declined further comment.

Chandler Jones Says Raiders Sent Crisis Response Team To His Home

Sep 7, 2023 9:08 AM

Josh McDaniels said Wednesday that the Las Vegas Raiders and Chandler Jones were dealing with "a personal situation and a private matter" when asked about the defensive end slamming the team on social media earlier this week.

In posts to his Instagram account that have since been deleted, Jones showed the badge of a member of Las Vegas' Crisis Response Team that he said the Raiders sent to his home.

He said Dr. Heather Thanepohn, who is the clinical program manager of the CRT, told him he needed to come with them because he was "in danger."

The Raiders still list Jones as a starter on their depth chart, but it's clear that there's a lot unknown about what's going on between Jones and the team.
