The Titans activated Julio Jones from the COVID-19/reserve list, per a club announcement. The wide receiver is now eligible to face the Texans with an opportunity help the Titans score a first-round bye.
Jones is in the midst of an uncharacteristically quiet season. Between his recent COVID list stint and a lingering hamstring injury, he’s appeared in just nine games with 26 catches, 376 yards and zero touchdowns. On the plus side, his hammy is said to be better, so Jones could be primed for some vintage performances.
In 2019, Jones’ last full season, he notched 1,394 yards and six TDs off of 99 receptions. Even in an injury-dampened 2020, the perennial Pro Bowler managed 51 grabs for 771 yards and three scores in his nine games.
Meanwhile, the Titans officially placed tight end MyCole Pruitt on the injured reserve list. This was the expected move following Pruitt’s gruesome ankle injury on Sunday, one that will require surgery and months of rehab.
