Jones Won't Be Placed On PUP List

Kevin Jones (foot) will not be placed on the PUP list to begin the season and will remain on the active roster, the Detroit Free Press reports. However, the Lions have not made an official announcement. Jones' surgeon cleared him to return to practice, the report adds. Jones won't be ready for several weeks, but putting him on the PUP list would have prohibited him from practicing, and his conditioning may be the issue now more than his foot. As a result, he'll be able to practice and the Lions will watch his progress closely the next few weeks. Tatum Bell's value takes a hit as Jones could return sooner than initially expected.
