Packers receiver James Jones did not practice on Wednesday. He had a knee sprain on Sunday and did not return to the game.
James Jones injury update: Packers keep him out of practice, fantasy owners should stay tuned
James Jones is getting some rest on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Tom Lynn
Jones has a PCL sprain, so this isn't a garden variety injury. He's been fairly durable in his career and the team is expecting him to suit up for Week 7 against the Browns.
Jones’ season has been full of ups and downs with a goose egg to start the year followed by a massive 11-catch game in Week 2. He also had a 127-yard game in Week 4, but in the other two games he didn’t reach 35 yards.
Fantasy impact: It should be a great game for Jones against the Browns. Joe Haden will likely match up with Jordy Nelson, and Randall Cobb is going to miss at least six weeks with a broke leg. Fantasy owners will have to be on the lookout for status updates, but the bad news is that he plays in a late game. He should be in all lineups, but it may behoove owners to have a backup that plays Sunday evening or later.
