The Facts:
According to a source close to the situation, the surgeon who performed the Lisfranc surgery on the left foot of Jones has agreed with Lions trainers that Jones should start the season on the PUP list. Dr. Richard Anderson re-examined Jones this afternoon and then discussed the situation with Lions officials. Because the Lions have a bye week in the sixth week of the season, Jones will only miss five games.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jones will be eligible to return on Oct. 21 in the home game against the Buccaneers. According to MLive.com beat man Tom Kowalski, the medical report on Jones is that his foot is almost completely recovered, but team officials want to err on the side of caution and make sure he's in the best possible football condition before he returns to the field. Again, according to Kowalski's source, Jones is expected to return without losing any of his original speed or running ability.
