Scott Cunningham
Jones suffered a minor knee injury in Sunday night's loss to the New England Patriots, but he finished the game and got over 100 receiving yards for the third time this season. Jones has been limited in most practices this season with a knee issue, but it has yet to slow him down. He leads the NFL with 481 receiving yards in four games. Jones is not expected to miss any time.
