Deemed questionable Jones (knee), who likely will be a game-time decision, is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Jones and Chris Godwin (hamstring) are considered game-time calls ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, while Russell Gage (hamstring) is listed as questionable but has been playing through the same injury all season and had his best game yet last week. Jones was held out of practice Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, with coach Todd Bowles explaining that the team needs to see how the wideout feels after a couple days of activity followed by a couple days of rest. Bowles said the team should have a better idea this weekend about whether Jones is truly ready to play after missing the past two games.

Could be game-time call Jones (knee) could be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Jones was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, but coach Todd Bowles said the real question is how the veteran wideout's body responds after a day of rest. The Bucs thus may treat both Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Jones as game-time decisions, with the latter seemingly more likely to play. Breshad Perriman, meanwhile, will be listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury, which leaves Scotty Miller as the No. 3 receiver in the unlikely event of both Godwin and Jones sitting out another week. Mike Evans is back from a one-game suspension, and Russell Gage (hamstring) is coming off his best game of the season in Week 3.

Stays limited Thursday Jones (knee) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Impact Jones maintained his activity level from one day prior as he attempts to gain clearance for game action for the first time since Week 1, the result of a partially torn PCL in his knee. Friday's practice report may provide some clarity into Jones' potential to play Sunday versus the Chiefs, along with that of fellow wide receivers Chris Godwin (hamstring), Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee/hamstring).

Another limited practice Jones (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Impact Jones hasn't played since Week 1 due to what has been described as a partially torn PCL in his knee, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. After Sunday's loss to the Packers, coach Todd Bowles told Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press that Jones could have played Week 3, but the Buccaneers held him out as a precaution. Jones now has logged capped practices going back to last Friday, and if he maintains such activity or gets back to full this week, he's a good bet to return Sunday night against the Chiefs.

Impact The Buccaneers took the long-term view with Jones in Week 3, but the 33-year-old wide receiver is expected to make his return for Tampa Bay's high-profile Week 4 game. Tom Brady struggled to move the ball against Green Bay while working with a depleted receiving corps, but he'll be getting some major reinforcements in Week 4 with Mike Evans returning from his one-game suspension alongside Jones.

Impact As has often been the case over the last couple of years, the injury outlook is grim for the veteran wideout, both for Sunday and the foreseeable future. The news of the severity of Jones' injury implies he could be headed for a long-term sabbatical, with a trip of some duration to injured reserve certainly not out of the question. Jones' absence Sunday, coupled with those of Mike Evans (suspension) and Chris Godwin (hamstring), leaves Tom Brady extremely short-handed in the pass-catching corps against a tough Packers defense.

Listed as questionable, GTD Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact As expected, after coach Todd Bowles referred to Jones as a game-time decision earlier Friday. A 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff isn't ideal for fantasy managers, nor is the matchup with Green Bay's secondary, but Jones could see a bunch of passes from Tom Brady if he's able to suit up. Mike Evans (suspension) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) are out this week, while Jones' return to a limited practice Friday suggests he has a real chance to return after missing Week 2.

Likely game-time decision Coach Todd Bowles expects Jones (knee) to be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with Green Bay, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jones presumably will be listed as questionable on the final injury report and likely won't be the only Tampa Bay wideout with that designation. He returned to practice Friday after missing the previous two days, giving him a real shot to suit up ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Remains sidelined Thursday Jones (knee) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact With Jones and Chris Godwin (hamstring) in line to log back-to-back absences to start the practice week, what the duo is able to do Friday will be telling with regard to either player's chances of suiting up Sunday against the Packers. The Buccaneers will be without Mike Evans (one-game suspension) this weekend, while Russell Gage (hamstring), Breshad Perriman (knee) and Scotty Miller (calf) all were limited at practice Wednesday.

Misses practice again Jones (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Neither did Chris Godwin (hamstring), who also missed the Week 2 win over New Orleans. On top of that, Mike Evans is suspended this week and backups Russell Gage (hamstring), Scotty Miller (calf) and Breshad Perriman (knee) all were limited practice participants Wednesday. The last three at least seem likely to play Sunday against the Packers, while the statuses of Jones and Godwin are more up in the air.
