Jones did not respond when asked about possible discipline regarding Carter, Bakari Grant or Sam Williams as the rookie linebacker was under the weather Tuesday.

Jones says the fight was harmless. Says there was an altercation today too. Wouldn't comment on any discipline to players.

The players were staying tight-lipped.

Players clearly under a gag order today. Learning nothing. #Riders #CFL pic.twitter.com/zjZ70hCkOR
