The Jones article on eagles.com says they IR'd him ahead of the Jets game. the team put Quez Watkins on Injured Reserve prior to Sunday's game at the Jets and elevated Devon Allen from the practice squad. https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/eagles-sign-julio-jones
October 17, 20231 yr It may be a smarter move than we think. He will be able to get at least a foot of separation in the RZ and won't have to move far.
October 17, 20231 yr At this point in his career I’m not sure how effective he will be, but they did need another body after Quez went down, and it gives people something to talk about other than the loss. Low risk move that changes the narrative on talk radio.
October 17, 20231 yr Quez's vag got hurt and he's on IR? And we signed Jones? That's fantastic!! Next up....Urlakurzzzzzz!!

October 17, 20231 yr Even the decaying remnants of Julio Jones would know which way to go on a jet-sweep.
October 17, 20231 yr I get the negativity, given his age. I bet he will soon be viewed as a key signing. He’s not here to steal the long bomb, we can cross the field just fine. He’s here to run the final few yards in the endzone and catch it there. To help our red-zone troubles. Pretty sure he can still do that with one arm strapped behind his back.

October 17, 20231 yr 1 hour ago, Portyansky said: Will they use Smitty in slot? Or will Julio play slot? Probably Smitty, but they'll move them around.
