Veteran WR Marvin Jones will start camp on the NFI list

In a surprising development, the Detroit Lions have placed wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. on the non-football injury list to start training camp.

It’s surprising because Jones was an active participant in the June minicamp and showed no signs of any injury. The NFI designation indicates Jones suffered some sort of limiting ailment outside of formal football work after the minicamp.

Jones returned to Detroit this offseason after spending two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was previously in Detroit from 2016-2020. The wily veteran is expected to add some downfield threat to the offense as well as serving as a mentor to the young WR corps.
