The Facts:
Jones has a strained right calf muscle and hopes to return in time for the team's season opener, his agent said Monday. Drew Rosenhaus, Jones' agent, told the AP that he spoke Monday to the star running back, who updated him on the severity of the injury. "He had an MRI on the right calf and it was determined that he has what is essentially a strain of the calf muscle," Rosenhaus said. "He said the doctor was vague in terms of how much time he would miss, but it would probably be a week-to-week injury."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Rosenhaus added that Jones told him he was "confident he would be ready" for the Jets' season opener at home against New England on Sept. 9. ... Jones walked with a slight limp Monday, a day after injuring the leg, and spent most of the morning session working on a hand bike and doing calisthenics. Jones' leg had a smaller wrap -- from the top of the ankle to the top of the calf -- around it than the one he had on after he was injured. ... We'll continue to monitor, but given the Jets' reluctance to discuss injury issues, Rosenhaus might be the only voice on this one.
