During the Tennessee Titans’ fifth training camp practice on Monday, star wide receiver Julio Jones appeared to suffer an injury, although it doesn’t seem serious.
According to multiple beat writers on the ground, Jones went up for a pass from quarterback Ryan Tannehill during the red-zone period and landed awkwardly. The veteran would walk off gingerly and did not return.
However, the good news is that it doesn’t appear to be serious, as Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky and WKRN’s Emily Proud noted. It isn’t clear what exactly was bothering Jones, though.
Of course, injury and Jones in the same sentence is a scary thing based on his history with playing through ailments, but for now we remain cautiously optimistic that he’ll be fine.

Don’t be surprised to see Jones sit out a practice or two moving forward. The Titans will return to the practice field on Tuesday and Wednesday before an off day on Thursday. Pads will go on for the first time on Tuesday.
