ASHBURN — The pain in Matt Jones‘ left shoulder subsided greatly since he was injured in last Friday’s games against the New York Jets, but the Washington Redskins‘ running back will miss the remainder of the preseason.
The expectation is that Jones, who sustained a second-degree sprain in his AC joint, will be ready for the Monday night season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 12.
“It feels better knowing I did it in the preseason,” Jones said. “Not saying preseason doesn’t matter, I still want to get better, but I have some time to get ready for the first game.
