One of the Atlanta Falcons' most dynamic defensive playmakers will miss a significant portion of the 2018 season, as linebacker Deion Jones suffered a foot injury.
The Falcons announced on Tuesday that Jones has been placed on injured reserve after tests revealed he required a procedure on his foot.
“Following the game last Thursday, Deion reported soreness in his foot, so we sent him for further tests,” head coach Dan Quinn said. “We got the results of those tests back today, and he unfortunately will require a procedure that will result in us having to place him on injured reserve.
