We are going to have to make sure that we&#8217;re not putting him in danger,&#8221; Sirianni said Friday, via the team transcript. &#8220;Doing what we need to do to help us win the game and doing what he needs to do to help us win the game, and also being smart with his rep count just because of elevated risk of injury if you put him in for too much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Week 7 NFL injury report for 2023 season            <\/li>\n<li>              NFL QB Index, Week 7: Tua Tagovailoa returns to No. 1; Matthew Stafford enters top five            <\/li>\n<li>              Week 7 NFL picks: Can Eagles stop Dolphins?

As of now, Jones sits at No. 16 in career receiving yards, having amassed 13,629 yards in his time as a pro. He needs just 148 more yards to move up the list.<\/p>\n<p>Injuries started to get in the way in recent seasons, and over his last three years, Jones has appeared in just 29 games. He was traded to the Titans in 2021 and then spent 2022 catching passes from Tom Brady in the QB&#8217;s final season in Tampa Bay. Jones remained unsigned in 2023 until this week, and will now have a chance to chase his first Lombardi with the Eagles, starting with a Philly debut in prime time.<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins and Eagles kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/eagles-elevating-wr-julio-jones-to-active-roster-for-sunday-night-matchup-with-d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Philadelphia Eagles are elevating wide receiver Julio Jones from the practice squad for their Sunday Night Football matchup with<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
