Brandon Jones, WR, Tenn. (1 Viewer)

He got up and walked off under his own power. Injury didnt look bad.
Deuce McAllister walked off the field against the Packers. Less than 24 hours later he had a torn ACL. Not saying that's the case with Jones, but I don't view him walking off the field as being a positive sign. The only positive sign will come from the results of his MRI.
 
I tore my ACL and walked home. I knew something was wrong, but didn't know for sure until the MRI results. If he was walking without any problems, I'm fairly sure it isn't serious. If there is swelling and he has problems walking, then that would be bad.

Brian Griese walked off the field with a torn ACL, AND MCL.I'll feel a lot better when they come up with something more definitive.

T.O. walked off on his own last year, and so did Griese this year... The injury did not look good...I am a Jones owner and was very excited to have him but his leg was caught in a very compromising position, I hope he is ok, but it looked like it could be real bad to me... Once again, I hope I am wrong...

 
From Fisher's Press Conference today, there is no news yet on his injury...

(on wide receiver Brandon Jones and his injury during the Cardinals game)

We are currently doing tests with Brandon right now. I don’t have any information for you. I may have something a little later. He was swollen today. We just don’t know. He actually felt better today than he did yesterday after the game. We are going to do some tests and see how he is.

I saw it too and thought hed be fine. Maybe a slight sprain, but I doubt its anything real bad. His knee didnt go in any akward angles.Edit to add: Swelling reported by Fisher is a bad sign though.

This just came over the wire.....

The Titans got results of an MRI exam on receiver Brandon Jones' right knee that they described as positive, without giving further details. He was hurt late in the 20-10 loss to Arizona, and Fisher said the rookie felt better but still had some swelling.

Seems like the Titans are doing their typical injury dance.

Through week 7, TEn has listed 12 starters on the injury report. All 12 were listed as Questionable. 11 played, with the streak ending this week with McNair. :no:

Isn't it usually good news when the MRI results are Negative? :unsure: Is that positive as in "good news", or positive as in "they found something".

:rant: I hate the titans and their Questionable Report. It's a total crock that Fisher is on the competition committee yet the league lets him get away with it

Titans receivers hurting

Former Dolphin Thompson to try out

By JIM WYATT

Staff Writer

No. 1 wide receiver Drew Bennett is out.

His replacement, rookie Brandon Jones, is hurting.

As anyone who watched the Titans lose to the Cardinals this past Sunday knows, so is Tennessee's offense.

The Titans expect quarterback Steve McNair to take back the reins this Sunday against Oakland at the Coliseum, but questions such as who he'll throw to still need to be resolved.

Jones suffered a right knee injury in the fourth quarter against the Cardinals, on the same play backup quarterback Billy Volek was knocked out of the game with a concussion.

The Titans received positive results last night from an MRI on Jones, but his status for this Sunday remains unclear.

Earlier yesterday the Titans released wide receiver Andrae Thurman to make roster room for running back Travis Henry, who is coming off a four-game NFL suspension.

Suddenly thin at wide receiver, the Titans were lining up some options last night.

Former Dolphin Derrius Thompson was expected to arrive in Nashville last night and take a physical today.

Thompson, a 6-foot-3, 220-pounder, is a six-year veteran with 29 NFL starts, 105 catches, 1,543 yards and nine touchdowns. He spent the last two years with the Dolphins but was released at the end of training camp this year.

Thompson was on his way to Green Bay for a workout yesterday when he got the call from the Titans. On his layover in Detroit, he boarded a plane to Nashville.

According to his agent, Vann McElroy, the Titans said they were going to sign Thompson. Titans General Manager Floyd Reese, however, said there's a chance other wide receivers could be brought in to work out.

Coach Jeff Fisher said practice squad player Sloan Thomas is another option for the Titans, whose only healthy wide receivers right now are Tyrone Calico, Courtney Roby and Roydell Williams.

The Titans struggled mightily on offense against the Cardinals. After taking a 10-0 lead they had 11 possessions of four plays or less and went on to lose 20-10.

"We had more three and outs in this ball game than we've had all year," Fisher said. "The frustrating part of our offense is this: in six out of seven games we've scored first in the first drive. We are having difficulties in that second quarter and it is a result of penalties and turnovers. You can't put a finger on one particular person.''

Fisher said McNair is feeling much better after staying in Nashville because of his back problems and is expected to practice tomorrow.

"It really helped,'' Fisher said. "He went out and threw (yesterday) and he felt pretty good. It is good to get him back.

"We took into consideration the long plane trip and the nature of the injury and thought it would be best to leave him behind and have him treat his low back symptoms here over the weekend, which he did, and he feels good.'' •

Titans receiving corps takes hit

By Nate Rau, nrau@nashvillecitypaper.com

October 25, 2005

The already-thin Titans receiving corps subtracted one, and possibly two, players from its unit, coach Jeff Fisher said Monday.

Wide receiver/return man Andrae Thurman was released to make room for running back Travis Henry, who returns from his four-week suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. Also, rookie receiver Brandon Jones could be out with a knee injury he sustained against Arizona.

In addition to making room for Henry, Fisher said the team decided to release Thurman because he violated team rules. However, he would not elaborate beyond that.

Jones underwent more tests on his knee Monday. Initial reports regarding the results of those tests were positive, though Jones’ availability for the Oakland game is still unknown.

Tennessee is already without the services of No. 1 receiver Drew Bennett who has a broken left thumb. Fisher said Bennett would be out for this week’s game against Oakland.

With the loss of Thurman and possibly Jones, Tennessee has three functioning receivers on its roster – Tyrone Calico and rookies Courtney Roby and Roydell Williams. Fisher said a roster move could be made to bring in another receiver. He added that having return skills would be an added consideration as to who could be brought in.

One possibility appears to be Charles Lee, who was released by Arizona on Monday. Lee played for Titans receivers coach Ray Sherman in Green Bay and has experience returning punts. Troy Edwards is not an option. Detroit signed him Monday.

Jones was having a strong rookie season. He has 21 catches for 274 yards and two touchdowns, including the Titans’ only score versus Arizona.

Snap decision

The Titans will have to make a decision regarding their long snapper this week as well, because Ken Amato broke his fibula against the Cardinals.

Backup Rob Reynolds had a terrible snap on a field goal try, which cost the team points. Fisher said Reynolds did a good job long snapping for punts, however.

A number of possibilities remain at the position, one of which is apparently to fit Amato for a brace and use him strictly to snap for field goals. The team could also see if Reynolds improves his field goal snaps during practice this week, or a roster move could be made to add a long snapper.

Mac is back

Fisher said quarterback Steve McNair benefited from the extra treatment he received on his back over the weekend and will start under center against Oakland on Sunday. The Titans will have their full complement of quarterbacks because backup Billy Volek, who was also banged up after the Cards game is “fine,” Fisher said.

Injuries, injuries and more injuries

The Titans were feeling the effects of the Cardinals game on Monday. Fisher said while the game was physical, some unusual collisions contributed the team’s growing list of injuries.

Among them are offensive linemen Brad Hopkins and Benji Olson, who Fisher said were both “fine.” One of the more-serious injuries was to starting running back Chris Brown, who hurt his shoulder. Fisher said Brown had numbness in his hand because of the injury, but was starting to get regain feeling on Monday. More tests would be run and Brown could practice this week. Cornerback Andre Woolfolk strained his already-injured hamstring.

Other injured players who have a chance to return this week are linebacker Peter Sirmon and fullback Troy Fleming.

 
My interpretation of the last two articles is that the MRI revealed no structural damage and he has a chance to play this week but more likely he will be out one to four games.

 
very confusing when they report MRI tests as "positive."is it "positive" for a specific INJURY, or a positive outlook of the test in that it reported no damage?typical Fisher.

I'm actually in agreement with you on everything except the bolded part. The only thing I grab from the articles is that he might miss the Oak game, and nothing else is clear regarding missed games beyond that.

Please note that when i say that, that is my opinon based on the information givin and is no way representative of the facts given. It is a guexs by me based on passed players who have similar injuries and the amount of time they miss. I'm speculating that 4 is a worse case scenerio based on the info at hand.
 
Yeah - still a nailbiter decision.I don;t even have a clue of WHAT injury he sustained.Dang ole Fisher.

 
Of possible greater concern for Jones owners is this bit of news from RotoWorld:Drew Bennett is out for week eight, but he did participate in a portion of practice Wednesday.Perhaps he has a shot to return next week. "We wanted Drew to do is just to go out and run some routes just to have a set of legs to go against the defense," coach Jeff Fisher said. Oct. 26 - 7:24 pm etSource: TitansOnline.comAs the No. 2 WR Jones has very little value in my opinon unless the Titans make a radical change in their offensive system. With Bennett back to dominating the WR targets and the TEs dominating the targets in general, there won't be much left for Jones to get. That was definitely the case prior to Bennett's injury. His stint as a solid starting fantasy option may prove to have a short shelf life.

 
You guys hate this? Try owning J. Jones in a league where you can't put a player on IR unless he appears as doubtful or worse on the official injury report.Julius has been questionable for two and a half weeks now, despite missing the last two games and not even traveling with the team this past weekend. Then I see Parcells say "it doesn't look good for Jones" Monday, and lo and behold, he's listed as questionable on today's injury report. I can't even pick up Barber to back Jones, yet I friggin' know that he's a) not going to play this weekend, or at the very best, b) play very sparingly. Frankly, I'd be shocked if he played with the bye next week. Yet if he's not on Friday's injury report, I am going with three nobodies at RB and can't even pick up Barber to pick up the slack.I don't want to hear about Fisher! :rant:

:cry: :cry: :cry: Wrong thread, and many of us are dealing with worse.

 
Fanball just reported this:"The Titans consider wideout Brandon Jones day-to-day following the knee injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, head coach Jeff Fisher told the team's website on Wednesday. He is listed as questionable for this weekend.Our ViewThe team got some good news this week when the MRI on Jones' revealed no serious damage, but he will still likely be a game-time decision if he plays on Sunday."This looks promising.

 
Yeah, that report in Fisher Speak might mean he's ok. I'm certainly not going to risk starting BJ this weekend, but I'm feeling good about the tough decision I made earlier this week btwn cutting Fergie or BJ for a WBWR (Warm Body Waiver Wire Wide Reciever) off the ww.Hopefully BJ plays this week and looks decent and is good to go for future weeks.........

 
:thumbup: I'll be keeping an eye on the pregame reports. If he's healthy and ready to go, he could torch a seriously depleted Raiders D.
 
FWIW, here are latest CBS updates. Doesn't sound good for BJones........

Roby might start in Week 8 Courtney Roby, WR TENNews: The Tennessean reports Brandon Jones (knee) is not expected to be active for Week 8.

Is Roby worth the one-week flier?? Or Roydell?

McNair and the Titans will be without No. 1 wide receiver Drew Bennett (thumb) against the Raiders and rookie Brandon Jones (knee) probably won't play either. Jones did not practice yesterday.


No new news yet. Apearently he is still questionable. The newspaper reporter is specualting that B.Jones won't play but still its inconclusive.



Bennett timetable: Bennett returned to the practice field yesterday, but only to run routes with the scout team.

He's still wearing a cast to protect his dislocated left thumb and admitted he probably has no chance of playing until Nov. 20 against the Jaguars. The Titans have a bye on Nov. 13.

Bennett said there's "a small chance" he could play against the Browns next week "if I can find something that will protect my thumb better."


This is interesting as well. Bennet's impact will be something to watch. The beat writer is speculating that Bennet will most likely not be back untill week 11.

As far as replacements I would look to Roydell Williams. he looks to be the better bet as he caught five passes last week late in the game.

 
Well, after 2-weeks away with an injury and then a BYE week to rest up, I'm assuming B.Jones will be back in action again this week. Can anyone confirm?If so, what kinds of things will he do against Jacksonille? It will be fun to watch the rookie WR Jones phenoms square off.

He's not listed on the injury report this week. Interesting.With Bennett, Calico and Troupe all Questionable.

Jax is #1 against the pass, so I don't expect much this week. 4-65-0

Edit because I apparently forgot how to form sentences in English.

Brandon Jones, WR TENNews: According to The Tennessean, Brandon Jones is expected to be at full strength for Week 11 vs. Jacksonville.Analysis: Jones had a great start to his rookie season, but has since fallen off the face of the earth. He is worth a spot on your bench, but nothing more.
Their analysis always sucks, but at least they can pick up a news feed...
 
Titan WR Drew Bennett (thumb) is listed as questionable, though head coachJeff Fisher on his Sirius radio spot Thursday that Bennett is snatchingthe ball well and has a good shot to play against the Jaguars. WR BrandonJones (knee) isn’t on the injury report and Fisher says he’s runningaround well, so it looks good for the rookie wideout. As for TE Ben Troupe(ankle, questionable), he’s still feeling the affects of his injury but“has a chance” Sunday according to Fisher.

 
I heard Fisher interviwed by Pat Kirwan this morning on SIRIS Fisher indicated that Jones was ready to play and would be out there. He said it looked Drew was practicing with a brace on but was catching some heaters from McNair without flinching so i would expect them both to be out there.

Probably the best situation for B.Jones. Bennett is a bigger threat than the other Titans WRs and will probably draw most of the attention in the secondary.

Are you still hyping this guy? PM me when he has an impact like Gado. :P

If TN lands him (which looks like may happen) I would slot Givens in at #1 with Jones and Bennett battling for #2. Jones is a stud...Calico is a goner.
Ahhh...not a chance. Jones likely won't get off the PUP til midseason, and a few good plays as a rookie does not make him better than Bennett.If you'll remember I was driving the Brandon Jones bandwagon last summer...Im a big fan. But you're crazy if you think him and his one good knee takes over for Bennett.
:confused: Based on what?

I understood that the injury was not that serious.
