Tue Nov 5 2013 | 00:48 | James Jones catches one pass in Week 9 return |
James Jones caught one pass for 17 yards in Week 9 against the Bears. |
Making his first appearance since suffering a Week 6 knee injury, Jones was targeted three times. After Aaron Rodgers went down with a left shoulder injury on the opening possession, Seneca Wallace came on and threw just 19 passes. Jones didn't play his normal snaps, as he was the No. 3 receiver and only entered in three-wide sets. He appeared healthy, but a lot hinges on Rodgers' health. |

Jones was listed as questionable after returning to practice Friday and Saturday. He missed two games. Jones, Jordy Nelson, and Jarrett Boykin will comprise the Packers' three-wide set with Nelson likely manning the slot. Jones is a WR3 who may not play his full complement of snaps in the return. Inactive for the Packers are WR Chris Harper, CB James Nixon, OLB Clay Matthews (thumb), OLB Nick Perry (foot), TE Jermichael Finley (spine), DE Josh Boyd, and DE C.J. Wilson. |

Sun Nov 3 2013 | 09:57 | Schefter: James Jones likely to play Monday |
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports James Jones (knee) is likely to play Monday night against the Bears. |
Jones got in two limited practices this week, suggesting he has a good chance to suit up after missing two games. With the Packers and Bears not kicking off until Monday night, it would be a bit of a gamble to plug Jones, who is shaping up as a game-time decision, into fantasy lineups. He'll be a WR3 if active. |

Fri Nov 1 2013 | 15:04 | James Jones practiced on limited basis Friday |
James Jones (knee) returned to a limited practice on Friday. |
Jones looks to be trending in the right direction, but there is still no clarity regarding his Week 9 availability. He'll probably wind up as a game-time decision on Monday Night Football. Teams that play in MNFers do not release final injury report classifications until Saturday. We'd look for a questionable tag tomorrow from Jones. If Jones does return against the Bears, Green Bay's most likely three-wide package would have Jones and Jarrett Boykin outside with Jordy Nelson at slot receiver. Myles White would probably be the No. 4. All Packers wideouts are capable of playing all three of the receiver positions. It's an emphasis of the coaching staff. |

The Packers seem to be attempting to give off the impression Jones has a chance to play, but in all likelihood his PCL sprain is at least a 1-2 week injury. Look for Jordy Nelson, Myles White, and Jarrett Boykin to formulate Green Bay's three-receiver packages in Sunday's game versus Cleveland. |

It's looking like Jones is going to sit out this week against the Browns. He hasn't practiced at all since suffering a sprained PCL last week versus the Ravens. Fantasy owners need to make other plans for their WR3. Jordy Nelson and Jarrett Boykin will handle receiver duties, while Jermichael Finley will work the slot more this week. Brandon Bostick could see some work at tight end. |

The Pack are hoping to know Jones' Week 7 status by Friday, but it's not looking like he's going to play. That would leave Jarrett Boykin as Aaron Rodgers' No. 2 receiver. Even if Jones does suit up, he'd likely be on a strict snap count. You need to be making other plans at your WR3 spot. |
