Egret Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Don't worry. He has said he's never doing Cat Fancy again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gros Membres! Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Sorry but he hasn't gotten to the point of cutting hard in his rehab yet. If he is on PUP he loses 5 games because of the Lions bye this year. That's what I've been reading and what leads me to think he's going on the PUP. I'm not a mind reader but something tells me Tatum Bell isn't the long term answer and it would be better to rest Jones. Hadn't checked the bye. Sorry about that. Knowing where the bye falls, this seems to me the best and safest route to go with a guy who has yet to begin even cutting and with the regular season just around the corner. The real question I have is he worth where picking up as an RB4 despiute the injury and missing the first 6 weeks of the season? Can Jones make an impact on the team (yes, I think) and also help FF owners (a big ? for me)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cat Fancy Dunn can come back without missing time, why can't Kevin Jones. And as far as your RB4, If you can wait until week seven you may have something way bigger than a rb4... He was near stud like last year with all of his reception yardage added in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vet Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I think that was the year Warrick Dunn was on the cover of Cat Fancy. I always thought that was a spoof. It was....wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Lions RB Jones To Have Foot Examined By Specialist Adam Schefter, NFL.com - [ Detroit Lions running back Kevin Jones, on the PUP list with a left foot injury, will have the foot re-examined on Thursday by the specialist who performed surgery on it last December. "We just have to see where he's at," Detroit HC Rod Marinelli said. "We can't make a mistake. We've got to be smart on it." If Jones remains on the PUP list when teams are required to reach the 53-player roster limit on Saturday, he will miss the first six weeks of the regular season.

piratesownninjas Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 "We can't make a mistake. We've got to be smart on it." This statement is interesting... I also think if the Lions are serious about winning ten games, they'll have to have Kevin Jones on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I don't know about you guys, but I stashed away TJ Duckett at the end of two of my drafts. I know he isn't a Martz guy but I have huge doubts about Tatum Bell. If you couldn't do it in Denver...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Gambles? This is gambling? Dude, get yourself a reality check. If you think playing FF is real gambling then you have issues. Further, this injury is not timely, it's well documented over many months. Do yourself a favor and get out once in a while before you start tossing around big words you don't understand -- like "moran" -- around. Depends what kind of money you're talking. I know of people who play in leagues with $500 or more entry fees. I'd call that "real gambling." Not all gambling involves dice or cards. As for Jones, I bet they don't put him on PUP and he's back by Week 2 or 3. That's what I hope anyway.

Gros Membres! Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 http://blog.mlive.com/lionsinsider/ Kevin Jones will stay on PUP, miss first five games of the season Posted by Tom Kowalski August 30, 2007 13:04PM For Lions fans, it's good news, but not great news. According to a source close to the situation, the surgeon who performed the Lisfranc surgery on the left foot of running back Kevin Jones has agreed with Lions trainers that Jones should start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Dr. Richard Anderson re-examined Jones this afternoon and then discussed the situation with Lions officials. Because the Lions have a bye week in the sixth week of the season, Jones will only miss five games. Jones will be eligible to return on Oct. 21 in the home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The medical report on Jones is that his foot is almost completely recovered, but team officials want to err on the side of caution and make sure he's in the best possible football condition before he returns to the field. Again, according to a source close to the situation, Jones is expected to return without losing any of his original speed or running ability.

Makes sense....wait until he's 100%, work him out for 2-3 weeks to get him in football shape, and turn him loose for 11 games. After all, the Lions will have had all they want of Tatum Bell by that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
