Tony Jones Jr. Signed To Active Roster

Tony Jones Jr. Signed To Active Roster

one year ago

The New Orleans Saints signed running back Tony Jones Jr. to their 53-man roster from their practice squad on Wednesday. Alvin Kamara still has one game left to serve on his suspension and Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is now set to miss time after getting hurt in Monday night's win over the Carolina Panthers. Jones played 52% of the offensive snaps against Carolina and scored two touchdowns at the goal line, but he had just 34 rushing yards on 12 carries, while Taysom Hill led the team with 75 rushing yards on nine carries. Jones should see plenty of opportunities in a Week 3 affair with the Green Bay Packers, but his boost in fantasy value will most likely be short-lived once Kamara makes his season debut. Rookie Kendre Miller (hamstring) is also set to make his NFL debut in Week 3 as another option for the Saints' backfield.
