Dolphins' Jones Goes On IR
25th October, 2005 - 7:39 pm
ESPN - Strong safety Tebucky Jones, who had started all six of the Miami Dolphins' games this season and played well against the run, will be lost for the rest of the 2005 season, after undergoing surgery to repair a torn right pectoral muscle suffered in the second half Friday night.

Given the structure of the contract that Jones signed with the Dolphins in March after his release by the New Orleans Saints, there is some question as to whether the veteran safety will return to Miami in 2006.

The Dolphins placed Jones on injured reserve and signed Norman LeJeune, who played for coach Nick Saban at LSU, to replace him on the roster. Second-year pro Yeremiah Bell, who has appeared in 19 games but never as a starter, is expected to move into the No. 1 strong safety spot. [READ]
