The Facts: HC Mike Smith said Jones' participation in offseason workouts will be limited as the team continues to monitor the wide receiver's status coming off foot surgery. "Julio is participating with our athletic performance department,' Smith said Tuesday. "He will be able to get out on the field and do some walkthrough stuff with us when we start going. Our focus on Julio is one thing, and that's having him prepared for our opener. ... He's progressing well. We're not going to do anything to hinder his timeframe in terms of getting back to work with us."

Diehards Line: Jones injured his foot in Week 5 of last season and missed the remainder of the 2013 campaign. Smith previously said Jones was ahead of schedule in his recovery, but the coach never put a timetable on when Jones would start running routes again. ... Assuming he's at full speed in advance of the regular season, fantasy football owners would be wise to remember the torrid pace he set prior to suffering the injury last season (41 catches, 580 yards and two TDs) and rank him accordingly this summer.
