Chandler Jones: 'I made a pretty stupid mistake'

New England Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones, who was hospitalized over the weekend for a medical emergency, admitted Thursday that he made an error of judgment.

"I want to start off by saying I made a pretty stupid mistake this weekend," Jones told reporters, via Doug Kyed of NESN.com. "Right now, my main focus is on becoming the best player I can be and helping the team. We're focused on Kansas City."

According to a police report, Jones showed up at a police station shirtless and, without warning, got down on his knees and put his hands behind his head. He was then sent to the hospital for what the Boston Globe reported was a bad reaction to synthetic marijuana.

When asked if he's had issues with substance abuse or was scared for his life that night, Jones said he understood the questions, but wouldn't provide any details.

"Like I said, I understand your question. I do. I truly understand it. Like I said, I want to apologize to all the fans and everyone's support," he said. "This weekend is probably going to be - I'm focusing on having probably the biggest game of my life. I'm trying just to clear this, but like I said, I made a stupid mistake, and hopefully it can just blow by."
