NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Jones will start out on the team&#8217;s practice squad with the expectation that he will be quickly elevated to the 53-man roster one he gets up to speed.<\/p>\n<p>The 34-year-old Jones starred with the Atlanta Falcons for the first decade of his career, leading the NFL in receiving yards twice, including an eye-popping 1,871 on 136 catches in 2015. The big-bodied receiver was a field-tilting weapon in Atlanta, able to stretch the field and snag the ball in traffic. He generated 12,896 yards and 848 catches in his first 10 seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Then, injuries began to strike. In the past three seasons, Jones has played just 29 games with three teams due to injury issues.<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              NFL Power Rankings, Week 7: Browns and Jets rise behind stifling defenses; Texans continue to surprise            <\/li>\n<li>              The First Read: Five teams that are better than their records; MVP rankings; Week 7&#x27;s must-see matchup            <\/li>\n<li>              NFL trade deadline: An executive&#x27;s guide to player transactions            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In June of 2021, the Falcons traded the star to Tennessee, where he appeared in 10 games, catching 31 passes for 434 yards and a TD and adding six grabs for 62 yards in a playoff game.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, Jones signed with Tom Brady&#8217;s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, playing in 10 games, netting 24 catches for 299 yards and two scores. His final game with the Bucs came in a 31-14 playoff loss to Dallas, in which Jones caught seven passes for 74 yards and a TD.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the 6-foot-3 wideout rejoins former Titans teammate A.J. Brown in Philadelphia. With Brown and DeVonta Smith as Jalen Hurts&#8217; top targets, Jones can make music as a third fiddle in Philly.<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles have struggled to find production from the third-receiver spot with Quez Watkins dealing with an injury. Through six games, Brown has amassed 672 yards and two TDs (including four straight contests over the 120-yard mark). Smith earned 334 yards and two scores. The Eagles&#8217; next wideout is Olamide Zaccheaus (also a former Jones teammate in Atlanta), with four catches for 74 yards and a TD.<\/p>\n<p>The question is how much is left in the tank for Jones heading into his 13th NFL season. If it&#8217;s even a fraction of what we were used to seeing, it&#8217;s worth a flier for Philly. And it&#8217;s worth it for Jones to go after a Lombardi Trophy.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/eagles-sign-seven-time-pro-bowl-wr-julio-jones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Julio Jones is back to chase an elusive Super Bowl ring.
