Wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. appeared to be a game-time decision for the Lions Sunday in New Orleans with a thigh injury that limited him in practice all week. He worked out on the field before the game, but was ultimately one of the Lions’ seven inactives.
That meant Andre Roberts and TJ Jones would have to fill the void. TJ Jones was signed to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday,
Roberts caught four passes for 35 yards, and TJ Jones caught three for another 49 yards. TJ Jones had a key reception on a 3rd and 16 for 36 yards in the third quarter that set up a Matt Prater field goal in the Lions’ 28-13 win.
