James Jones

JJ

Pyro's take: Even though James Jones did not catch a touchdown for the first being back with the Packers, he still posted a nice still posted a 5-96 line on six targets. He will continue to be a mainstay for Aaron Rodgers in the Green Bay offense.

Temper expectations this week for Jones as he faces a tough and stingy St, Louis Rams defense.

Pyro's take: Davante Adams stated “Didn’t really know for sure,” said Adams of his chances of playing against the 49ers. “I’m just trying to pretty much take it day-by-day. You want to be smart on it. The last thing I want to do is — I came back last time and re-aggravated it so I’m just trying to be smart.”

Sounds like the Adams and Packers want him to return 100% before he sees the field. This is good news for TY Montgomery and James Jones owners as they will be the beneficiaries of his absence.

Pyro's take: James Jones is heading back to the team that drafted him, and a setting he had a couple great seasons with in the Green Bay Packers. He will be the #3 WR behind Randall Cobb and Devant Adams. This spells trouble for those that went after Ty Montgomery and Jeff Janis in drafts already, but as you know from our Pyro Podcast - Dawgmaticå always says - it's the 4th WR on the Packers that always finds a way to score #FF points.

Receiver James Jones was working on the sideline running drills with a trainer according to various media present. If he has any kind of injury, it is nothing too serious and being kept out is more as a precaution.

UPDATE: Dennis Allen said after practice that James Jones is dealing with a minor hamstring issue.

Pyro's take: Well that did not take long. James Jones is getting his chance to be the lead receiver in Oakland, and he now has a hamstring issue. It is still early and it may end up being nothing, but this is the type of injury that can linger.

James Jones will be departing the "Frozen Tundra" and landing in the "Black Hole" as he signed a three year deal with the Oakland Raiders. Jones led the league with 14 touchdowns in the 2012 season. In 2013 he finished with 59 receptions for 817 yards and three touchdowns. Jones will turn 30 this month, and will be in the mix with receivers Andre Holmes, Denarius Moore, and Rod Streater.

Pyro's take: James Jones had a huge 2012 season, but regressed last year with only 59 receptions and three touchdowns, and that was with Aaron Rodgers throwing the rock, how will he respond with Terelle Pryor or Matt Mcgloin? Unfortunately, the Oakland Raiders have become more known for their "Black Hole" not as a threatening place to play, but where players careers are consumed, and they are never heard of again.
If the Raiders can get some solid line play and have consistency at quarterback, there is no reason that Jones can't match his 2013 numbers.

Free-agent James Jones isn't looking to go anywhere unless it's at Lambeau Field. Jones was not franchised this week, which leaves him in control of his own destiny. James was asked how he felt about returning to Green Bay, and he stated to the NFL Network "I would love to go back and play ball there." Jones went on to say that if he couldn't be at Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers he would love to play with some of the younger signal callers. "I wouldn't mind playing with some of the younger guys, Andrew Luck, or Russell Wilson."

Pyro's take: James Jones is hitting his peak at age 30, but he still will draw enough interest on the market if Green Bay decides to let him go. He had over
800 yards receiving, without Aaron Rodgers for most of the year, and is just two years removed from having 14 touchdowns. Jones would probably love to stay in Green Bay, but he will just be part of the carousel of receivers out there. With teams like Seattle or Indianapolis he can be a second receiver or primary on a winning team with a great quarterback.

Jones injured his left knee against the Ravens while blocking on a running play. Ravens defensive lineman Courtney Upshaw inadvertently kicked Jones in the back of the knee as he was falling to the ground.

"When it happened, I thought it was over," Jones said.

"I got kicked pretty good," he said. "Leg in the ground. It’s the name of the game (of) football. Wrong place, wrong time, man. That’s how a lot of injuries happen.

He did not take part in practice Wednesday, but has not been ruled out for the Minnesota game.

"I really don’t know how long the process is going to be," Jones said. "When you’re dealing with a knee injury, you never know how long it’s going to be, how early you can come back. We’ll see what happens."

Pyro's take: Jones was lucky not have been injured as seriously as Randall Cobb, but he has still yet to make it back on the practice field. If Jones is unable to Boykin should once again see the most targets behind Jordy Nelson.

According to John Clayton @ClaytonESPN James Jones will be out for the remainder of the game due to a leg injury

Pyro's take: Jones is a cog in that tremendous Packers offense. We are hoping it is not a serious situation, as he was seen limping off the field.

James Jones was the big play threat for the Packers in their first preseason game with a very nice 50-yard catch.

Pyro's take: James Jones is no longer fighting for a starting spot with Packers and once again showed that he has shed his "no hands" tag that plagued him in years past with a great catch for 50 yards in the Packers first preseason game. Jones is looking to see an increase in catches and yards this season, but it will be difficult to duplicate his 14 touchdown catches he had in 2012.

With wide receiver Jordy Nelson slated to be out several weeks with a knee sprain, WR James Jones will take over as the full-time WR3 for the Packers going forward.

Pyro's take: Jones had two catches for 55 yards last game with a 47-yard touchdown to boot. Aaron Rodgers loves to throw the ball and is a great down-field passer, so Jones may do well in this situation. However, he's still not a fantasy football consideration at this point.

Green Bay Packers WR James Jones has dealing with a hamstring injury in camp as of late.

Pyro's take: The Packers are looking at his off-season training regimen as being the reason behind the injury. Not because he didn't work hard enough, but that he overworked himself in preparation for the upcoming season. When healthy, the Pack still want Jones to be their WR3.

Green Bay Packers WR James Jones says he is completely healthy after the knee injury that hampered him for the duration of the 2008 season. "I'm definitely back to being myself," Jones said. "My knee is 100 percent, and that's really the only thing I was worried about. I'd never really been injured before. I'm just glad it's behind me. I'd be lying if I said last season wasn't (frustrating). It was definitely frustrating."

Pyro's take: Jones has the potential and size to be a threat in the league, but has yet to live up to the hype. He still has to beat out Jordy Nelson for that coveted WR3 spot on the Pack, though it seems he's doing just that. Even so, he still has to show us a little more than a healthy knee to get us excited.
