Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones is off the hook in his domestic battery case — the charge he was facing was dropped a day before he was scheduled to be arraigned, TMZ Sports has confirmed.
According to a disposition notice from the Florida Assistant State Attorney filed on Tuesday … prosecutors declined to move forward against Jones after reviewing evidence from the alleged incident back on November 13.
As we previously reported, cops said Jones — a 2nd round pick out of the 2017 NFL Draft — and the mother of his child got into a heated argument that turned physical at a Jacksonville condo/apartment after she allegedly told him she was taking their child to Orlando.

Cops said in the report that they “observed several small scratches on the victim’s neck, consistent with marks from a fingernail” … and Jones was arrested for first-degree domestic battery causing bodily harm.
The team had no comment on the situation at the time.
Jones played college football at East Carolina, where he broke several school records including receptions in a game (22) … and has suited up for the Bills, Raiders and Jags.
He became one of Trevor Lawrence‘s go-to guys and had an NFL career-high of 823 receiving yards in 2022.
