Thankfully for us, the rest of the division is on the road as well against teams they will most likely lose against. So, we can lose this week and still possibly be in first place. However, we really need Jones for the following week at home vs. Arizona. If he doesn't play next week, we'll probably be in some trouble as far as 1st place goes. Just be ready for ARI, please.
But no surprise. I would be surprised if he didn't miss more than just this game. And I would rather he be completely healed, than risking further injury in what I view as essentially a learning season for the team as a whole.
I think the fact that he was able to get some work in this week bodes well for potentially being able to play next week. This game was always going to be a long shot
RE: I'm Not Sure If There Are More Official Definitions
next week. Not worth exacerbating it and might be a good experience for him when he comes back to try to find ways to thrive in a more pocket passer role.
would fly with the team to Seattle tomorrow, but I'd still be surprised if he did. Kinda felt like Judge was trying to be coy about Jones's status to force Seattle to prepare for him too

He is supposedly traveling to see how he feels after walk through tomorrow..
At Seattle looks to be the toughest of our five remaining games. We're not expecting to win out, and we don't need to in order to make the playoffs, which would be a great achievement to build on, even with a losing record. Our chances of winning any/some/all of the the following four will depend heavily on getting him healthy.
they should leave him home. no sense making him sit on
until we see the report tomorrow after the walkthrough and Sunday before the game. Judge has already said that DJ is making the trip and from the limited (and some from a ways away) video clips that were on Twitter yesterday, he looked like he was planting and throwing pretty well off it given how he looked on his last pass against Cincy.
And I think they can still win this game. Not much margin or error, but doable.
I was thinking the same thing - why fly him all that way if he's unlikely to play? Having said that, you don't reinjure or worsen a hammy by sitting in a chair.

Next week: 'Close to healthy'? Doubtful. Neither hamstrings nor hamstring injuries are created equal, so I get the the hopes and dreams.
You need not have looked beyond his body (leg) language when he returned for a play last Sunday. Hamstrings--very thick muscles even on slender bodies--are deep tissue and do not magically resolve. Time + rehab the only remedy.

I don't expect to see him running much the rest of the year. Just hoping he can come back and throw a ball without looking like he got shot in the leg.
The thing is, I feel like it actually makes things more confusing. Because now, any player with the slightest injury, even if they are 90% chance of playing, gets designated as Questionable. But players who are also 50/50 to play, or even a little less than 50/50, also get "Questionable". So, to me, when I see "Questionable", I flat out have no idea what that means. IMO, they should bring back "Probable" for the players that are likely to play. If the "Probable" guys pretty much ALWAYS play, then just prepare as if the Probable guy is playing. If a coach starts listing guys as probable and they aren't playing half the time, then investigate that specific coach. IDK.
“Doubtful”: a player is unlikely to participate.
"Out”: will not play.

I thought it was basically like this:
Probable - 75% chance
Questionable - 50/50
Doubtful - 25% chance

I kinda wish he didn’t rush back on the field last weekend.
Washington at Steelers
Cowboys at Ravens
If there was ever a week for us to lose, this is it.

OTOH, a win could give the team a nice cushion and more of a margin of error for the last 4 games.

I thought there was "Probable" - player is likely to play but is banged up.

Probable was eliminated before the 2016 season because just about everyone getting that designation played.

Huh? If we don’t need him now, when do we need him? We are playing for a divisional title for the next 5 weeks. Need all hands on deck.
Doubtful
CB Tre Flowers (hamstring, did not participate)
RB Travis Homer (wrist/knee/thumb, did not participate)
OT Brandon Shell (ankle, did not participate)
Questionable
DE Carlos Dunlap (foot, did not participate)
C/G Kyle Fuller (ankle, did not participate)
RB Carlos Hyde (toe, limited participation)
G Damien Lewis (groin, limited participation)
QUESTIONABLE - 50 - 50
DOUBTFUL - 25-75 against
Which is all fine in theory but didn't work, so they dropped that system.

Doubtful means doubtful. Oh, wait. Where have I read this before?
