The Facts:
While Jones is able to run and cut on his surgically-repaired foot, he acknowledges that he isn't able to tell how well it's doing when he runs alongside the trees that line the back of the Lions' outdoor practice facility. "Running and cutting over there is easy -- it's gone pretty well," the three-year veteran said. "But that's not even close to doing it with 21 other guys on the field, 11 of them trying to kill you."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jones had three pins inserted into the fracture in an operation, and although two of them were removed in May, he wasn't ready to start training camp last week and he's not even close to testing the foot in a contact situation.
Recent reports have suggested the the odds are 50-50 that Jones will be ready by the start of the regular season on Sept. 9. ... We'll be watching. In the meantime, Tatum Bell continues to impress coaches.
