Dalton, Jones Both Limited Wenesday; Nobody Worried... Yet

Andy Dalton (groin) appeared on the Bengals' Wednesday injury report as a limited practice participant.

Worth noting, ESPN.com's Coley Harvey recall Dalton ever being on an injury report.

In addition to Dalton, Marvin Jones (hamstring) was also limited. Tyler Eifert (knee) worked fully.

I'll be watching for more, but nobody who covers the team on a daily basis seems concerned about the availability of either player.

Meanwhile, Profootballfocus.com's Mike Clay pointed out this week that Jones' Week 11 performance served as a reminder that it's important to trust the process more than the result.

With Patrick Peterson glued to A.J. Green and Tyrann Mathieu on Mohamed Sanu, Jones was primed for heavy volume against struggling Jerraud Powers.

Cincinnati did, in fact, target Powers, throwing a whopping 15 passes his direction.

Jones benefited, racking up nine targets in the game. He was limited to 60 yards on four receptions. The result was underwhelming, but more often than not, this sort of usage in this matchup would have led to a huge fantasy day. Averaging 7.5 targets per game since Week 5, Clay advised readers that Jones is in play as a WR3 against St. Louis this week.
