I saw him on the bench during the game - so I took that as slightly ok news. If a major injury he stays in the locker room.
Obviously we'll have to see what MRI's and injury reports say.
Other good news was that Cunningham and Scott seemed to both play pretty well.
It does seem like Cunningham gets the most consistent pressure on the QB of anyone on the team (including Jones). He's just not usually the finisher, but he adds the interior rush that can be so important in this league.
Jones may have long arms and all, but to me Ninko, Cunningham, and Trevor appear much more explosive. Jones always looks like he's slow off the line. Don't get me wrong, once he gets anywhere near the opposing QB, game is over for that QB. But off the line, he's missing some explosiveness. JMO.

Devils advocate time: Might he be thinking more at the snap and thus slightly slower than the vets on the jump. And that would in theory corelate to actually being more explosive because despite that slight hesitation he is still getting more sacks and pressures than the other guys.

Not sure what you are seeing but Jones is ridiculously explosive off the line.
