The Facts:
Five months after surgery to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, Jones was running. And he wasn't just jogging on flat grass. He was bursting up hills. He was changing direction -- left, right, backward, forward. He looked far ahead of schedule in his recovery, and you had to wonder if he would make the Lions regret cutting him.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jones, who has suffered two major injuries in two seasons, hopes to show NFL teams that he will be ready for training camp in July and is worth a decent contract. He plans to work out for them June 28. And he apparently has some interesting motivation. Before a couple of sprints, Jones yelled out "Colletto," referencing new Lions offensive coordinator Jim Colletto. He said it wasn't personal, but it was motivating to prove someone wrong. ... For the record, Jones recently worked out for the Titans and Patriots (without getting an offer).
