Detroit Lions: DE Jason Jones Expects to Play Soon

Despite undergoing minor knee surgery in June, Detroit Lions defensive end Jason Jones claims he’ll be ready by the regular season opener.

When the Lions signed Jason Jones a few years ago, the history of his knee problems was already well-known. In 2012, prior to coming to the Motor City, Jones finished the year on injured reserve with the Seattle Seahawks after undergoing knee surgery that season.

In his first year as a Lion, 2013, Jones would rupture the patellar tendon in his opposite knee and miss the final 13 games of the season.
