The Facts:
HC Mike Smith sounded dismayed while discussing his team's latest major injury, this one to Jones. 'He saw our doctors this morning,' Smith said Tuesday. 'He is going to have a second opinion tomorrow. The first reports were not encouraging, but we will wait and see what the second opinion comes back as.'

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Remember, Roddy White left Monday's game and did not return after tweaking a hamstring. White has played since preseason with a high ankle sprain, and his 14 catches and 129 yards receiving are far below the average production of his first five games over the last six seasons. Losing Jones only makes conditions worse. The No. 6 overall draft pick of 2011, leads the NFL with 41 catches and ranks second with 580 yards receiving. Smith said that Jones will see a foot specialist Wednesday in Charlotte, N.C., for a second opinion. The coach refused to say which foot Jones hurt. Jones was X-rayed after the game, and results were negative, but a CAT-scan Tuesday showed something more serious. 'He's going to be a hard guy to replace if we have to replace him,' Smith said. 'We've got guys that are on our roster in Kevin Cone and Drew Davis. Harry (Douglas) will be asked to step up and if we have to make a roster move, we will look at all options that are available to us there.'
