Jones Out With Concussion

The Cincinnati Bengals could be without a key player for Sunday's crucial Week 14 divisional showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as cornerback and return specialist Adam Jones has been put on the concussion protocol, per Coley Harvey of ESPN:

Jones has appeared in all 12 games for the Bengals this season, notching 52 tackles, a forced fumble and an interception. He's also been a key contributor on special teams, averaging 11.7 yards per punt return and 31.4 yards per kickoff return, including a 97-yarder (though Jones didn't score on that play).    

Facing a dangerous Pittsburgh passing attack, losing Jones would be a tough blow for a Bengals team that could take a firm hold on the AFC North with a win on Sunday.
