Atlanta Falcons rookie starting middle linebacker Deion Jones didn't seem the least bit disturbed about having to share some reps with LaRoy Reynolds during Sunday's 24-15 loss at Philadelphia.
Jones played 59 of 79 defensive snaps, while Reynolds subbed in and played 20 snaps. Both players say it was a predetermined rotation by the coaches.
Jones, the team's second-round draft pick from LSU, didn't view it as any sort of demotion or indictment of his play. He played all 80 snaps the previous week in a win at Tampa Bay, while Reynolds did not play at all on defense against the Buccaneers.
