Jones shutting it down for 2 weeks

Eddie Jones limped through five minutes before hitting the bench for good. Avery Johnson announced after the game that Jones would be “shut down” for two weeks.

The team has taken a similar approach in the past with Howard, Harris and Devean George. The hope is that after the two-week break Jones comes back completely healthy.

“It’s the smart thing to do,” Jones said. “It’s still not there. I’ll shut it down for a week and see where it’s at. He wants me to get out there healthy.”
