Maurice Jones-Drew has been sidelined with a sprained foot. He was hoping to return by next week, but as of Thursday, Jones-Drew's own assessment of his timetable was foggy. He hopes to return in a couple weeks, but there is no exact date for his return.
According to an interview Jones-Drew did on Fox Sports Radio, Jones-Drew confirmed the injury isn't the type to end his season. But he also went on to say that with a foot injury at his position, being hampered by this injury isn't something he wants to deal with upon his return. He may wait until he is 100%.
