Detroit Lions' Marvin Jones out vs. Ravens, Jerry Jacobs (knee) battling knee injury
The Detroit Lions will be without wide receiver Marvin Jones for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Jones did not travel with the team to Baltimore for personal reasons, the Lions announced Saturday.
The second oldest receiver in the NFL after the Philadelphia Eagles signed Julio Jones this week, Marvin Jones has five catches for 35 yards while playing a bit role for the Lions this season.
The Lions will have their top four receivers on the field Sunday for just the second time this season: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond and Jameson Williams.
Rookie Antoine Green also has played as a backup this season.
The Lions also added cornerback Jerry Jacobs to the injury report as questionable to play Sunday with a knee injury.
