Treehugger Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 An already difficult season for the Atlanta Falcons just took a calamitous turn. NFL Media's Jeff Darlington reported Tuesday, per a team source, that the Falcons have "legitimate concern" that wide receiver Julio Jones will miss the season with a foot injury. The Falcons are sending Jones for a second opinion Tuesday for what they fear might be a foot fracture, a source informed of the injury told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. Fox Sports' Jay Glazer first reported the news. Jones was surprised by the news, and he didn't believe the injury would be season-ending, Rapoport reported Tuesday. "The first reports were not encouraging, but we will wait to see what the second (opinion) comes as," Falcons coach Mike Smith said during Tuesday's news conference. Jones played in Monday's 30-28 loss to the New York Jets, finishing with eight catches for 99 yards. Darlington -- on the scene in Atlanta on Monday -- reported the All-Pro limped out of an X-ray room after the game. This could very well be the knockout blow for the Falcons, reeling at 1-4 and now facing the very real possibility that their top weapon has played his final snap of the season. It's a bitter pill to swallow for a team that entered the year in Super Bowl-or-bust mode. %$^#@^!!!! He had the most points for any WR through 5 weeks.

Treehugger Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 I am in the same boat in my money league. Had them both. FUCK!!! At least the "IR" roster position works in the Keeper League, so I only lose one bench spot for guys who won't play 'til next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
