JULIO JONES NEWS

Not expected to play Sunday While Jones (knee) may work out before Sunday's game against the Bengals, the wideout isn't expected to be available for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Official confirmation of Jones' Week 15 status will arrive once Tampa Bay's inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff, but if Jones is indeed unavailable, Russell Gage would be the top candidate to log added WR opportunities versus Cincinnati alongside Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Questionable after practicing Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact His return to practice Friday, albeit as a limited participant, seemingly gives Jones a real shot to play. He had season highs for snap share (72 percent) and targets (eight) in last week's 35-7 loss to the Bengals, and he likely aggravated the PCL injury that bothered him earlier this season. Russell Gage should pick up more snaps and targets if Jones ends up inactive ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Another DNP on Thursday Jones (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Previously, Jones sat out five times in a six-game span back in September and October with what was termed a PCL injury. It's unclear if his current concern is related to that issue, but he now has missed back-to-back sessions to kick off Week 15 prep. Friday's practice report may decide his fate for Sunday's contest against the Bengals, and if he's out or even limited this weekend, Russell Gage would be the top candidate to join Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in three-wide sets.

Not spotted at practice Thursday Jones (knee) wasn't present for the open portion of Thursday's practice and is expected to be listed as a non-participant, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Coming out of Sunday's blowout loss to the 49ers, the Buccaneers didn't indicate that Jones suffered any sort of setback with the knee issue that has previously cost him five games this season. However, Jones' absence from the first two practices of Week 15 suggests that he may be sitting out for more than maintenance-related reasons. If Jones ends up being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals following Friday's practice or is otherwise deemed unlikely to play, Russell Gage would be the top candidate to join Chris Godwin and Mike Evans in three-receiver sets.

Held out with knee injury Jones didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Jones' absence may be related to the PCL injury that caused him to miss time in September and October. He saw a season-high targets and played a season-high 72 percent of the snaps on offense in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the 49ers, so he could be dealing with a setback or just be getting some extra maintenance. A return to practice Thursday and/or Friday would hint that it's the latter case, but if Jones ends up missing this weekend's game against the Bengals, Russell Gage would likely replace him as the No. 3 receiver behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Five catches in Week 14 loss Jones secured five of eight targets for 38 yards in the Buccaneers' 35-7 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact Jones was busier than usual, checking in second in targets and tied for second in receptions. The veteran receiver is enjoying good health for an extended stretch for the first time as a Buccaneer and has recorded multiple receptions in six consecutive contests. Jones next takes aim at a talented Bengals secondary in a Week 15 home matchup.

Three grabs in win Jones secured three of six targets for 28 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.

Impact Jones logged a season-high target total while recording three receptions for the third straight contest. The veteran wideout has managed to remain healthy for an extended stretch for the first time as a Buc, but he continues to hold down a very modest role in a passing attack that spreads the ball around at a fairly brisk clip.

Records 55 total yards in loss Jones secured three of four targets for 40 yards and rushed once for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Jones actually outpaced position mate Mike Evans in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon despite seeing five fewer targets than his teammate. The veteran wideout has started to flash some utility in his complementary role the last two games, posting a 6-93-1 line through the air in addition to Sunday's 15-yard rush. Jones' next opportunity to extend his positive run comes in a Week 13 home Monday night matchup versus the Saints.
