Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Kowalski went on to explain that Jones is far ahead of schedule on his recovery and he's running at full speed, but he still doesn't have total confidence in his cutting ability. Meanwhile, team officials believe off-season acquisitions Tatum Bell and T.J. Duckett allow them to take a cautious approach with Jones. However, the coaching staff also believes a healthy Jones is the most talented back on the roster and gives them the best chance to win. Per Kowalski: "When Jones is ready, he's going to play."
