Julio Jones (knee) out vs. Saints Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones is out for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints with a knee injury, the team announce...
Sitting out Week 2 Jones (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game in New Orleans.
Impact Jones was viewed as a game-time decision heading into the day after managing only one limited practice this week on account of the knee issue, but he ultimately didn't demonstrate enough progress in pregame warmups for the Buccaneers to sign off on him playing. With both Jones and Chris Godwin (hamstring) sidelined for the Buccaneers, Russell Gage (hamstring), Breshad Perriman (knee) and Jaelon Darden should be in store for added reps on offense alongside No. 1 wideout Mike Evans (calf).

Likely game-time decision Jones (knee) is listed as questionable, and his availability will likely come down to a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Jones returned to practice Friday as a limited participant after not practicing Wednesday or Thursday. The Buccaneers will test the wideout's knee during pregame warmups before making a decision on his availability. Tampa Bay has already ruled out Chris Godwin (knee), but it is expected to have Mike Evans (calf) available.

Questionable after practice return Jones (knee) returned to practice Friday as a limited participant and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Given his history of missing practice, it's hard to know if the knee injury represents a real threat to Jones' availability. Whatever the case, he returned to practice Friday after back-to-back absences, and he's now listed as questionable along with fellow wideouts Mike Evans (calf) and Russell Gage (hamstring). Chris Godwin (hamstring), meanwhile, has been ruled out, leaving more snaps up for grabs for whoever is healthy enough to play.

Participating in Friday's practice Jones (knee) is taking part in practice Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The extent of Jones' participation Friday remains to be seen, but it's encouraging to see the oft-injured veteran back on the field. Mike Evans (calf) also resumed practicing Friday while Chris Godwin (hamstring) is not on the field for the start of the session. Jones logged an impressive Tampa Bay debut Week 1, and if Godwin is ruled out for Sunday's game in New Orleans, the 33-year-old could face expanded opportunities.

No activity Thursday Jones (knee) didn't take part in practice Thursday.
Impact Jones joined Mike Evans (calf) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) as non-participants, marking his second day in a row with such a listing. The Buccaneers may be taking a cautious approach with Jones considering Godwin was coming off last season's torn ACL before he was forced out of Week 1 action. Behind the aforementioned trio, Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) were limited Thursday, so the entire state of Tampa Bay's receiving corps should be monitored to get a sense of who may or may not be able to play Sunday in New Orleans.

Saints-Buccaneers Injury Report Sept. 15: Mike Evans, Julio Jones Among Four Non-Participants on Thursday A look at the Buccaneers injury designations ahead of Sunday's Week Two divisional matchup with the New Orleans Saints

Not practicing Thursday Jones (knee) wasn't on the field for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Along with Jones, Mike Evans (calf) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) also weren't spotted during Tampa Bay's second practice session of the week. The Buccaneers likely aren't counting on Godwin being available Sunday in New Orleans after he strained his hamstring in his first game back from a torn ACL and MCL in the Week 1 win over the Cowboys, but the statuses of Evans and Jones appear to be more up in the air. Unless he's able to fit in some work behind the scenes later Thursday, Jones will go down as a non-participant on the practice report for the second day in a row, so he'll almost certainly need to turn in some on-field work Friday to keep himself in consideration to play this weekend. Jones is coming off an impressive Buccaneers debut in which he turned his five targets into three receptions for 69 yards and gained 17 yards on two carries.

Joins lengthy list of injured WRs Jones was held out of Wednesday's practice with a knee injury.
Impact Given Jones' history, it's hard to know if his absence from practice Wednesday is a maintenance day or a sign that his availability for Sunday's game against the Saints is in peril. If it's the former, he's in good position to see a bunch of targets in New Orleans, as Chris Godwin (hamstring) is expected to miss the game and Russell Gage (hamstring) also sat out Wednesday's practice.
