Jones cleared injury protocol but poor efficiency limits him to touchdown-dependent flex.

Aaron Jones sustained a knee injury in the fourth quarter last week but will be back in the huddle this week. He did not practice on Wednesday, had a limited session on Thursday, and a full practice on Friday, carrying no injury designation into this week's game. Last week in the first three quarters, Jones had a 35% snap rate, eight opportunities, 35% of the rushing work, and a 28.6% route share (5.3% target share). Jones has shown his age this season with only an 8.7% explosive run rate and a 12% missed tackle rate. The source does not have high hopes for Jones this week, though a touchdown could make him a decent flex. Detroit has allowed the fifth-highest explosive run rate, tenth-highest rushing success rate over their last five games.
