Donald Jones Out 4-6 Weeks

[Ed]

I didn't see this posted anywhere, but I saw this briefly scroll across the bottom of espn last night. Can anyone confirm what his injury is? I'm assuming some kind of ankle sprain.

I'm wondering if we'll make any significant move at WR, or just roll with Roosevelt and Martin.

I believe the ticker also said that Bell and Kelsay our out for this week.

I saw high ankle sprain, which is never good for a skill player.

Sucks that we're running into all these injuries at WR.

Re: Donald Jones Out 4-6 Weeks

Damn, that's not good. I think we need to go out and try and get someone.

Wonder if the Ravens want their 4th round pick back?

Re: Donald Jones Out 4-6 Weeks

I think they are fine with what they have. Smith and Spiller can use more playing time anyway.

move Aiken up from the practice squad. I liked what we saw from him in pre-season.

Bingo. I'd love to see them both in there more for sure! At this point there's no need to go get a WR.

Would love to see Smith more involved in the passing scheme. If not, Ruvell Martin seems to be a bigger target than Jones anyway.

I think they need some speed outside to open up the middle. Given how little work Spiller gets at RB might as well use his speed to stretch the D on passing plays.

We will be using that pick to acquire a player....

Stay tuned.

The guy caught everything at camp. Why not give him a chance ?

Re: Donald Jones Out 4-6 Weeks

they already have 5 wide so they might no add a player, smith will just fill in along with naaman. i have high hopes for naaman, he reminds me of andre reed with his rac and speed after the catch... we should be fine with johnson, nelson, roosevelt and smith. jones should be back for the cowboys game. thats a month from now.

Re: Donald Jones Out 4-6 Weeks

The issue with losing Jones isn't that we dont have a capable WR replacement its that we dont have another speed option? Jones was the player we used to keep defenses honest with deep shots. Without him on Sunday PHI closed down on the box and our offense stalled badly.

We need a WR to take the top off the coverage.

I think the Bills will most likely alter their offensive game plan some to compensate. We will probably see Nelson step into that role, and Chandler getting more involved in the receiving game until Jones gets back. JMO

Re: Donald Jones Out 4-6 Weeks

Steve Johnson has the ability to go deep, but he's so good at the short and intermediate stuff that I'd rather not see him needing to be used in that role of a deep threat.

I'd love to see more wheel routes out of the backfield for Spiller.
