"Jones was injured with 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter as quarterback Mason Rudolph rolled out. Jones jumped in front of Rudolph to protect him from defensive end Dominique Robinson. As Robinson jumped in an attempt to bat Rudolph's pass, Jones put his head down and into Robinson's chest to keep him away. Then, as Robinson fell, he appeared to pull Jones down by the face mask, and the offensive tackle landed awkwardly. Jones exited the game and didn't return."
""There's a guy that has a resume that started wire-to-wire that came into this league as a first-rounder, and so certainly he has a different profile than Calvin," Tomlin said of Peat. "We like both guys. Both guys are veteran professionals who have a certain level of preparedness and maturity that they bring to the work every day. And so we're going to prepare both guys, and we'll have more clarity as we get close to the game time.""
Broderick Jones sustained a neck injury, initially diagnosed as a stinger, in the loss to the Bears and will miss Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Derrick Harmon suffered a knee injury in the same game and will also be unavailable. Jones left with about 10 minutes remaining after protecting quarterback Mason Rudolph and did not return; swing tackle Calvin Anderson finished the game in his place. Andrus Peat, a former first-round pick, and Anderson will take reps at left tackle with both receiving preparation. Harmon finished the game but experienced symptoms the following day.
