Deion Jones Set For Debut With Browns
2 years agoThe Cleveland Browns activated linebacker Deion Jones (shoulder) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, and the former Atlanta Falcons standout will make his debut with the Browns in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens. Cleveland acquired Jones from the Falcons on Oct. 9, and the Browns are hoping the 27-year-old former second-rounder can help shore up what has been a very leaky defense to this point in the season. Middle linebacker Anthony Walker (quadriceps) is currently injured, so Jones could have a pretty significant role in the middle of the Browns defense right away, although Jacob Phillips has mostly filled in for Walker. Jones has 100-plus tackles in all but one of his six NFL seasons, but fantasy managers in IDP leagues shouldn't expect him to play an every-down role, at least not right away.
