RB Kevin Jones, released in March after four seasons with the Lions, has scheduled a workout June 28 for NFL teams, reports the Detroit News. He must show he is healthy enough to play. For the second consecutive season Jones is coming off a season-ending injury that required surgery (left foot, 2006; right knee ligament damage, 2007). Jones is training at the Saline Recreation Center under the guidance of Dr. D.S. Ping. Ping has trained athletes and worked as an agent for four decades. He is not representing Jones in contract negotiations. "He's progressing excellent," Ping said this week. "He's doing very, very well." Jones' training regimen includes swimming, weights and running. "He's got full range of motion," Ping said. "Everything he's doing, he's doing well." (Updated 05/16/2008).
Injury Report
Knee - Doubtful for the start of 2008 training camp (Updated - 1/17/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Jones had a recent visit with New England and will likely try to catch on with another team, where he will likely be a reserve. Keep an eye on what develops, but it might be worth a late-round flier to draft Jones in most Fantasy leagues in 2008 depending on where he signs. (Updated 05/16/2008).
