Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio
Jones will miss Sunday’s game against the New York Jets with a hamstring injury.

Head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters the team will also be without wideout A.J. Brown.

Jones is one of the most decorated
wideouts of his generation. He accumulated seven Pro Bowl
appearances, five All-Pro selections (two First Team and three Second
Team) and led the NFL in receiving yards twice across 10 years as a member of the
Atlanta Falcons before being traded to the Titans in June.

Injuries are the one thing that’s
slowed the 32-year-old University of Alabama product down at times
throughout his career. He was limited to five games in 2013 because
of a foot injury and missed six games last year because of a
lingering hamstring injury.

That latter point became cause for
concern when Jones began dealing with a new hamstring injury early in
his tenure with Tennessee.

Especially with Brown unavailable as well, Chester Rogers,
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Josh Reynolds are receivers who could see
more playing time and need to step up in a big way.

Jones still has the physical skills to
make a high-end impact within a talented Titans offense, but his
ability to stay healthy on a consistent basis will prove crucial in trying to post numbers
close to those he did with the Falcons.
