Julio Jones Not Seen At Thursday's Practice
2 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) wasn't spotted at practice on Thursday at the portion open to the media. It's not a good sign for Jones' availability in Week 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals after he also missed Wednesday's practice. The 33-year-old missed some time earlier this year with a knee injury, but it's unknown if this is the same injury. He'll need to return to practice on Friday in order to have a shot at playing this weekend. Jones had a season-high five catches on eight targets for only 38 yards in the Week 14 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, and he doesn't have more than 69 yards (posted in Week 1) on the year. If Jones is unable to play against Cincy, Russell Gage would see more playing time as the No. 3 behind Chris Godwin and Mike Evans.
