Aaron Jones said a necklace containing his father’s ashes, which went missing during his four-touchdown performance against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, has been found.
The Green Bay Packers running back confirmed the news Tuesday on 97.3 The Game’s The Steve Czaban Show.
On social media, he thanked the trainer who found it while showing it off.
“Actually our trainer, Bryan Engle — ‘Flea’ — he went out there and he found it,” Jones told “The Steve Czaban Show” on Tuesday. He added, “[He] found it, so we’re perfect. Thank you to him. He was out there until 1:45. It shows how much they care about us.”
After the 37-17 win over the Detroit Lions, Jones said he thought he lost the necklace during one of those touchdown celebrations.

“If there was any place to lose it, that’s where my dad would’ve wanted me to lose it,” Jones said, after the game. “So I know he’s smiling.
“I’m used to turning around and seeing my dad in the stands and just smiling to know everything is OK. So when I was seeing them, I was good.”
The 2020 Pro Bowl selection racked up 115 total yards along with his four trips to the end zone to help the Packers get their first win of the year.
