Done For The Season: Bengals Place Adam Jones On Injured Reserve

PrintWhen defending Michael Jenkins on the right side of the field near the goalline during Atlanta's two-point conversion in the fourth quarter, you could see in the top right hand corner of the television that Jones and Jenkins collided with Jones collapsing on the field, as if he was knocked out. Jones sat on the field for several minutes before coming off under his own power, not returning to the game.
Now Jones won't be returning at all this year.
According to the team, Jones was placed on Injured Reserve after suffering a herniated disk in his neck against the Falcons. Along with forcing a fumble and returning the football 59 yards for a touchdown that took the lead over the Atlanta Falcons, Jones also recorded an interception earlier in the season against the Baltimore Ravens.
With Jones down for the season, that leaves Morgan Trent as the team's nickel corner, maybe even giving Brandon Ghee some time on the field.

Well that's what depth is for
:)
I still think Trent is a good player and we didn’t draft Ghee to watch him sit on the bench.
This is our year!
How long did we sign him for? Just a one year deal?
I’d love to see us bring him back for another 2-3 years, especially if we are going to lose either Hall or JJo to free agency. He’s been one of a few bright spots this year and has proven his worth on the field. He’s one of the few guys who didn’t give up in the game against Atlanta on Sunday.

could this week get worse

Ghee is a third round pick
hopefully not another Keiwan Ratliff.
But knowing the Bengals scouts, it wouldn’t be shocking if he stinks it up.

Really too bad..
Here’s to a speedy and full recovery. I was really impressed with what I saw of Adam Jones this year.

we'll see you next year Pacman
in the meantime, focus on family and recovering fully. This is such shitty news….plus now i can’t do my “make it rain” celebration everytime he makes a big play anymore….
This makes me nervous
Without him being focused primarily on football I hope he doesn’t get into trouble.
Sad to see a guy bust his tail to get back and start producing again only for it to be taken away.
Herniated disc in neck? That doesn't sound good.
Do we think he’ll ever come back to his original form and aggressiveness? I now worry Mike Brown is going to overpay a high-profile player who never fully returns to form…. Am I being a little too presumptuous?
Moisture is the essense of wetness, and wetness is the essense of beauty.
You might be.
Herniated Discs are a lot harder to come back from than a ligaments or broken bones.
It’s good it’s not bulging, players retire from those kinds of injuries now.
RE:
he’s definately not overpaid, and we only had him signed for 2 years, plus this is the uncapped year, so if he can’t recover we can cut him w/no cap implications. Only thing this hurts is our defense and return game (which sadly is a big blow to Bengaldom, it felt good seing him making big plays)
Man.
Had he stayed healthy, this guy had Comeback Player of the Year potential, he was playing that well and had his life that straightened out. Now…this happens. I’m really depressed by this news.
i'm going to be so pissed off the next time our d quits in a game
and nobody steps up. adam jones. damn, when did i become a fan of this guy, oh yeah, when he tattooed ray rice. jones almost salvaged a win in atlanta too.
i’m depressed about this too. losing jones is the biggest injury we’ve suffered in 2010. so far.
