Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones has apologized to Kelvin Benjamin for a now-deleted tweet from his mother that implied Jones had to tell his teammate where to line up in Week 1.

"He talked about it with me," Benjamin said Thursday, according to ESPN's Mike Rodak. "He came and apologized for it. That really was it. Just trying to move on from it."

Maneesha Jones wrote, "(regarding) Jones who else is skilled enough to play all wide out positions AND tell Benjamin where to line up too?" in reply to a tweet about her son playing nearly all of the Bills' offensive snaps in the 44-point loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

After refusing to comment Wednesday, Jones said there are no issues between him and Benjamin.

"Me and KB got a great relationship. I love KB," Jones said. "I don't have anything against him."

Jones had three catches for 26 yards while Benjamin produced just one grab for 10 yards against Baltimore, though the receivers had few opportunities as Nathan Peterman and Josh Allen completed just 11 of 33 passes between them.
