reinstated. On March 11, the Packers restructured Jolly's contract to $715,000. When Jolly was suspended in 2010 for violating the league's substance abuse policy, he had been tendered a $2.521 million contract as a restricted free agent. Since that contract tolled during his suspension, the Packers retained his rights. 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. In May 2014, Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said: "I'll say this about Jermichael and Johnny: First and foremost, I just want them to be healthy. And then with that, they're obviously our players and we have strong interest in. We'll see what happens after that." On June 29, Jolly was cleared by doctors, but received no known interest from teams. The Packers publicly stated they "haven't ruled out bringing him back." During the preseason and eventual formation of the 2014 roster, the Packers gravitated toward linemen who were lighter and more agile than Jolly.

He appeared at court on July 22. He became the first Packer since 2000 to stand trial on a felony charge. Charges against Jolly were dismissed in a Texas court on July 16, but were refiled shortly after in December 2009. The dismissal stemmed from police awaiting new equipment that measures codeine amounts. On July 16, 2010,
