JACKSONVILLE _ Pro Bowl cornerback Adam Jones strained his calf in warmups before Sunday night’s third pre-season game against the Jaguars and was scratched.
It’s unclear when Jones did it. He was catching punts, but never made it to the secondary drills. It’s doubtful he would have been returning punts in Sunday’s game, when it’s believed rookie wide receiver Alex Erickson returns the first punt after popping returns of 80 and 30 yards in the first two games.
Jones’ injury probably put Chris Lewis-Harris in the starting lineup opposite Dre Kirkpatrick.
