Jones allegedly strangled his girlfriend, hit her in the face and struck her with a gaming console, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the Post-Gazette.
The felony charges of aggravated assault and strangulation were dismissed in a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, attorney Robert Del Greco Jr. confirmed.

Jones re-signed with the Steelers on a reserve/future contract for the 2021 season in December and has been with the team through its spring conditioning, OTA and minicamp sessions.
Whether Jones is found guilty or not, he could still face supplemental discipline from the NFL.
