Felix Jones ready for big role if needed

While Marion Barber said he wants to play Monday vs. Carolina, there's still a question of his availability. If he can't play, Felix Jones would be the workhorse with Tashard Choice. Through two games, Jones is averaging 9.1 yards per carry with 118 yards on 13 carries and a touchdown. He was slowed in the opener at Tampa Bay because of a quad injury but did not look like it slowed him down vs. the Giants (96 yards). "I believe [the running game] can be the same," Jones said. "The offensive line did a great job. They created holes for us to run through. We just need to go out and play hard and keep doing what we're doing and keep moving the ball." I would expect Jones to be limited as a kick returner if Barber cannot play, which would give Miles Austin more work on special teams.
