The Facts:
The foot injury suffered by Jones on Monday night is reportedly related to the foot surgery he had before his rookie year. Veteran NFL reporter Jason Cole reports that Jones, who leads the league with 41 catches, broke the screw that was put in his foot in that 2011 surgery.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jones has a history of shrugging off his foot problems. The 2011 injury happened before the Scouting Combine, but he delayed surgery, ran at the Combine and put on a sensational performance despite running with a broken bone in his foot. Jones is expected to get a second opinion on Wednesday, but the initial diagnosis is that he’s going to need another surgery and will miss the rest of the season. That’s terrible news for a player who was having an outstanding year, terrible news for the struggling Falcons and even worse news for fantasy owners who have been riding Jones through the first month of the season.
