Wide receiver Christion Jones has signed with the Miami Dolphins, his agency, Sports Trust Advisors, announced on Wednesday. Jones is returning to the Dolphins after playing for Miami during the 2015 NFL preseason.

Jones was an ASWA Class 6A All-State selection for Minor High School in Adamsville for the 2009 and 2010 seasons before playing four years for Alabama. While with the Crimson Tide, Jones won the SEC Special Teams Player of the Year Award for the 2013 season.

Jones originally joined Miami as an undrafted rookie in May. He was bothered by a hamstring issue during training camp and was waived with an injury designation on Sept. 5. After clearing waivers and reverting to Miami's injured reserve list, he was released with an injury settlement on Sept. 9.

In three preseason games, Jones caught one pass for 10 yards, returned two punts for 18 yards and ran back six kickoffs for 151 yards. In Miami's final preseason game on Sept. 3, Jones lost a touchdown kickoff return to an illegal-block penalty.
