On the Bengals' depth chart, Jones had been listed as a starter at receiver across from All-Pro A.J. Green. Third-year pro Mohamed Sanu is Cincinnati's third receiver. Hobson noted that the same injury cost Sanu a month of the 2012 season. 

The Bengals open the regular season on September 7 at the Baltimore Ravens.
