Jerry Jones’ family was involved in a car accident outside Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, before the Dallas Cowboys’ game against the San Francisco 49ers. The accident involved the second vehicle in the Jones family caravan being hit by a rising barricade outside the stadium. In the car were Jerry’s daughter, Charlotte Jones Anderson, his son, Jerry Jones Jr., and Charlotte’s son, Shy Anderson Jr. Both Charlotte and Jerry Jr. were evaluated by the Cowboys’ medical staff at the stadium, with Charlotte potentially suffering a rib injury and Jerry Jr. sustaining a head injury.
Charlotte Jones Anderson serves as the Cowboys’ executive vice president and chief brand officer, as well as being the first woman to serve as chairperson of the NFL Foundation. Jones Jr. is the chief sales and marketing officer and executive vice president of the Cowboys. All three of Jerry Jones’ children are co-owners of the franchise, with Stephen Jones serving as chief operating officer. The Jones family is known for attending every Cowboys game throughout the season, showing their unwavering support for the team.
The Jones family traveled to the Bay Area in hopes of a better outcome for the Cowboys than their previous loss to the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium last season. Despite a rough start to the year with a 3-3 record and a blowout loss to the Detroit Lions before their bye week, the Cowboys are looking to keep pace in the NFC East. With the Washington Commanders leading the division at 6-2 and the Philadelphia Eagles close behind at 5-2, the Cowboys are focused on contending for the NFC East title, which they won in 2023.
The Cowboys faced challenges throughout the season, with injuries affecting key players like Dak Prescott. Despite these obstacles, the team remains determined to compete and secure a playoff spot. With the Jones family as dedicated owners and supporters, the Cowboys have a strong foundation for success. Their presence at every game reflects their commitment to the team and their desire to see them excel on the field.
Concussion protocols and medical evaluations are crucial in ensuring the safety and well-being of players and staff involved in accidents like the one experienced by the Jones family. The Cowboys’ medical staff acted swiftly to assess Charlotte and Jerry Jr.’s injuries, allowing them to move to the visiting owners’ suite for the game. Through proper medical care and support, the Jones family can focus on recovery and continue to support the Cowboys throughout the season.
The incident at Levi’s Stadium serves as a reminder of the unexpected challenges that can arise in the world of professional sports. Despite the Jones family’s ordeal, their resilience and dedication to the Cowboys remain unwavering. As the team navigates a competitive season in the NFC East, the support of the Jones family and the entire Cowboys organization will be crucial in overcoming obstacles and achieving their goals.
