Running back Kevin Jones suffered an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee and might require surgery. Jones suffered the injury late in the first half of Detroit’s 25-20 victory over the Kansas Chiefs on Sunday.
Lions head coach Rod Marinelli said Monday that a final decision won’t be made until the swelling goes down in Jones’ knee. Marinelli also said that he doesn’t know if Jones suffered a partial tear or a complete tear.
If Jones undergoes surgery to repair the ACL, he would likely miss the beginning of training camp next season but could be ready for the start of the regular season. Jones missed all of camp and preseason this season because he was recovering from the Lisfranc surgery he had on his left foot last December.
