NFL: Seahawks' Jones out into at least November
Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. — Seahawks nine-time Pro Bowl tackle Walter Jones will not return until at least November, if at all this season.
Coach Jim Mora said Wednesday that the team has decided Jones will back off trying to return from two knee surgeries.
The 35-year-old anchor to Seattle's offensive line for the last decade will now be reassessed after the bye week, before a game at Dallas on Nov. 1.
Dallas was the site of Jones' last game, Thanksgiving Day. He played with painkilling injections in his left knee then had major, microfracture surgery to regenerate cartilage.
After a few practices in training camp, he had arthroscopic surgery on the knee in August. It still pains him.
