On August 17, Jolly continued his solid pre-season against the St. Louis Rams, by tipping a pass that led to an interception and then intercepting a pass in a 19–7 win. On August 31, Jolly officially made the Packers 53-man roster, completing his improbable return to the NFL. Jolly's season was prematurely ended in December 2013 with a neck injury. Jolly had surgery in January 2014. According to his agent, Jack Bechta, the surgery was between the C-5 and C-6 vertebrae. It is generally less severe than fusion surgery higher in the neck, which is the one that led to safety Nick Collins' release and had ended tight end Jermichael Finley's career.
