Detroit Lions 'not in any hurry' to get WR Marvin Jones back from minor injury

Marvin Jones will remain on the nonfootball injury list for at least another few days, but Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said he is not worried about the back injury keeping Jones out of training camp practice.

"He had a little back issue right before he came here," Campbell said Monday in Allen Park. "It’s nothing major, but we knew we weren’t going to start him out at practice so we just NFI’d him. But he’s improving and we’re not in any hurry right now to try to get him back."

The Lions placed Jones, the oldest player on their offense at 33 years old, on NFI at the start of camp Sunday, but Jones spent the early part of the team's first practice running sprints with a trainer.
