Julio Jones to miss Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against Green Bay Sunday
Julio Jones will miss Tampa Bay’s Sunday home game against Green Bay (4:25 p.m. ET, FOX).
FOX’s Jay Glazer reported Sunday that Jones would be a game-time decision due to a partially torn PCL in his knee. Just before 3 p.m. ET, the Buccaneers officially ruled Jones inactive for Sunday’s game against the Packers. The good news for Jones is that the injury does not require surgery, per Glazer.
#Bucs WR Julio Jones is dealing with a partially torn PCL in his knee, per @JayGlazer, but it’s not an injury that requires surgery. He’s a true game-time decision for today’s game vs. Green Bay.
