Additional details have emerged since reports regarding the death of former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones.

The former WR, who also served as a returner during his time in the NFL, passed away this weekend at the age of 40.

His family released a statement through the NFL Players Association on Sunday.

“We want to express our gratitude for all the kind thoughts and support you have shown us during this challenging time,” the statement reads. “Your ongoing support and respecting our privacy means a lot to us.”

“We are completely heartbroken to learn about the passing of Jacoby Jones,” the Ravens said in their own statement. “Jacoby had the unique ability to connect with everyone he encountered. His charisma, joy, and love created a one-of-a-kind presence that could light up any room or brighten any dark day.”

Aaron Wilson of KPRC also reports that Jones died in his sleep, with no cause of death announced.

Jacoby Jones Will Always Be A Legend In Baltimore

Jacoby Jones began his career with the Houston Texans, playing there for five seasons. He registered a career-high 562 yards in his fourth year with the team.

He is best remembered for his time with the Baltimore Ravens, having helped them win a Super Bowl by becoming the first player to score a return touchdown and receiving touchdown in the same game.

He recorded a 108-yard return score in the game, which stands as the third-longest in NFL history, also scoring off a 56-yard pass from Joe Flacco.

Prior to the Super Bowl, he helped the Ravens clinch an overtime Divisional-Round win over the Denver Broncos with a 70-yard catch dubbed the “Mile High Miracle.”
