Jones is starting week one. His injury only kept him out of the rest of the preseason, part of which I'm pretty sure was just precautionary. So far, all indications are that he'll be ready to go.
Has he been medically cleared? I hadn't heard that.

Good point about the FB.

I see the Titans released Bishop Sankey. Not sure we'd get a chance at him with the waiver wire priority, but that's one FA running back I wouldn't mind taking a look at. Young guy, 23, second round pick. Just squeezed out because the team did that goofy trade for Demarco Murrary.

Robert Kelley has changed numbers. He will now be wearing #32.

Aww. 22 is my favorite number. I've been wanting a RB (my former position) to wear it again for some years, and was excited by Kelley's prospects.
I guess it was between him and Deshazor Everett who had #22 and Everett had it last season, IIRC, so ...

With the injuries we've seen already, going Jones Thompson Kelley AND Brown doesn't sound out of the norm to me- especially with TEs doubling as the FB.
I'd hate to see Brown walk and ball elsewhere too tho man!! He came in to preseason HUNGRY!
