TONY JEFFERSON LIKES BEING OUT OF THE MEDIA

Tony Jefferson's Twitter account still hasn't returned. He shut it down at the end of July because he thought he needed to focus on football. However, he doesn't think tweeting stops him from anything.

Brennan Clay thought Jefferson would reactivate by the start of preseason camp. Jefferson said last week he'll probably turn it back on eventually, but right now he has other things to focus on.
