The Facts:

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jones has been on the PUP list with a foot injury and the question was whether he would remain on the list to start the regular season, putting him out for at least the first six weeks. Lions officials conferred with Jones' surgeon Friday, and the surgeon cleared Jones to come off the PUP list, the person said. The Lions plan to take it slow with Jones, but they think they will need him within six weeks, the person said. ... That doesn't mean Jones will be your Week 1 starter; it does, however, mean he could return at any time. Apparently the Lions have decided it's worth a roster spot to make it possible for Jones to return earlier. Tatum Bell is undoubtedly thrilled.
