Jones Struggling to Stay Healthy in NFL

This injury was a bit concerning for Jones on an individual level because he already missed the 2014 season with a variety of ailments.

What's more, Jones dealt with lingering injuries during camp before the 2015 campaign started, although he bounced back and played all 16 games on the way to a career-best 816 receiving yards and four touchdown catches. Jones also tallied 10 touchdown catches in 2013 for the Cincinnati Bengals.

He was in the midst of a somewhat breakout campaign over the first few weeks of the season, but he's cooled down since. All told, he's recorded 42 catches for 730 yards and four touchdowns to date.
