Hair Titans:
It is no secret that the biggest concern for Julio Jones coming into the season was how well he would hold up over the course of a 17-game season.
So far Julio Jones has only played 43% of the offensive snaps, so fans aren’t pleased that he didn’t shut down this narrative immediately. Still, that doesn’t mean it was a bad trade.
Catch Titans:
While Julio Jones isn’t going to have a season with 100+ receptions with the Titans, he is making every catch count. He is averaging 17.5 yards per reception and he has had two massive plays of 51 and 48 yards. Those are game-changing plays, but more about that later.
The Tennessee Titans are tied for 8th in the NFL with 42 explosive plays thanks in large part to Derrick Henry. Only 16 of those explosive plays have been receptions. While Julio Jones has accounted for three of those 20+ yard receptions, where he has really thrived is in the intermediate part of the field.

Week 7:
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones is listed as questionable on the official injury ahead of this week’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s dealing with the same hamstring injury that’s been bothering him off and on all season.
Jones missed practice on Wednesday, but he returned to the field on Thursday and Friday as a limited participant, so there’s a high likelihood that he’ll be on the field for Sunday’s game. He played last week, too.
