After meetings today Jones was seen apparently walking fine

BostonHerald.com - Blogs: The Blitz» Blog Archive » Time for an update (sort of) on Chandler Jones’ injured ankle

The team needs him but only if he is near 100% ....if he isn't maybe they use Hightower or Spikes to rush off the edge,I am not comfortable with just Nink and Scott on the outside,although I like what Nink has done thus far.

Also, Bedard said on Twitter that he'll be surprised if Jones doesn't play

Curran expects Jones out until the SF game ..... I don't think anyone,including Jones knows if he is ready to play until practice starts on Wednesday.

Very good to hear. Really need Jones to back (healthy), especially with the Cunningham news. If JC had to juice to become a decent player this year, count him out the rest of the way. Now, without Jones, there's next to nothing on the edges. Nink has made a few beastly plays, but let's not kid ourselves and act like he and Scott can get it done at DE against playoff teams.

Don't see them putting either Spikes or Hightower on the LOS or changing their current roles too much. That LB corp is really starting to gel into one of the top units in the league. I like our chances a lot if Jones can come back healthy.

No need to rush him for MIA...

Do these journalists just make up a return date in their heads?

I'm thinking you could put me out in place Jones vs. Miami and the Pats would still get the win. I hope they let him rest. He is a rookie.

Miami just beat Seattle which beat the Patriots. Miami is also playing rope-a-dope with the press saying how invincible the Patriots are right now. This game is Miami's season - if they win, they're in the hunt for a playoff spot, if they lose, they're toast.

Miami on the road after the Butt Bowl has trap game written all over it.

IMO every game has the potential to be a "trap game"... right now we have too many significant injuiries, and the tension seems to be heal or keep on keeping on.

Agree, they will be tough, but doubt the Pats will be caught by surprise. We may have a few young players who have trouble keeping their concentration at peak level at this point in the season. We'll see.
