Julio Jones Ruled Out In Week 8
3 years agoTennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Jones has been dealing with this nagging injury since Week 4, and it will cause him to miss his third game of the season. The former Atlanta Falcon reaggravated his hamstring against the Buffalo Bills in Week 6 but was then able to play against the Chiefs in Week 7, albeit catching just two passes for 38 yards. In his absence, A.J. Brown should once again be in for a huge game against a decimated Colts' secondary, after he posted a season-high 133 yards and a touchdown in Week 7. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine should see an increase in targets without Jones active, but he makes for a risky FLEX play as the Titans are likely to lean heavily on the run once again in this game.
