The Facts: HC Mike Smith said Jones and LB Sean Weatherspoon are unlikely to participate in any of the team’s activities before the start of training camp. “Our focus is strictly on getting them ready to go for training camp” in late July, Smith said.
Diehards Line:
Smith said neither Jones (foot) nor Weatherspoon (knee) would be “doing a whole lot” in the offseason conditioning program or the full-team minicamp scheduled to begin later this month. No real surprise there. Weatherspoon missed the final two games of 2013 because of the knee injury. Jones suffered an injury to his left foot in Week 5 last season and missed the rest of the season after undergoing surgery. Jones also had surgery in March 2011 to insert a screw in the foot to repair a stress fracture. At this point there's no reason for fantasy football owners to believe Jones won't be fully healed in advance of Week 1.
