The Facts: Asked during an appearance on WDFN Radio, if Jones be ready by training camp, Booth Newspapers beat writer Tom Kowalski replied: "From all I'm hearing he should be back by training camp. They won't work him out heavily even if he does. They think he'll be ready by Week 1."
Diehards Line:The Lisfranc injury Jones suffered requires surgery as soon as possible, within seven days if possible -- which was the case with Jones. Many players recover from this injury. Warrick Dunn went to the Pro Bowl two years later and didn't miss a game. ... Meanwhile, Kowalski added that Jones is only 24 years old and the Lions "absolutely love him." And even if they add some veteran depth via free agency, they think Jones is a perfect fit for their offense.
