Speaking on Monday, Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles said the team is taking a long-term view with Julio Jones (knee).
Jones was inactive for the Buccaneers' Week 5 game against the Falcons and has played in just two games this season. Bowles added on Monday, "We want him fully healthy, not coming out for a week, then missing another couple of weeks. We think we have enough guys right now to weather that storm." Jones suffered a partially-torn PCL earlier in the season and has struggled to work his way back to the field. With Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Russell Gage all healthy, there's no reason for the Bucs to jam Jones into the lineup into he's back to full health.
