Jones suffered what seemed like a tour-ending shoulder dislocation on 26 June.
The 35-year-old made it back three weeks later and has now played in 12 Lions Tests across four tours.
Jones seemed close to tears when asked about his Lions journey and said he "probably can't put it into words".
The Wales great, who started all three Tests, swore as he defended his display of emotion, saying: "I've already had a bit of stick for being overly emotional and you know, I don't [care] if people think I'm overly emotional, that's what it means to me.
