Even before Leon Hall fell during Sunday's game with a season-ending Achilles injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team was already short on cornerbacks. Kelly Jennings is slow to fully embrace and produce within defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer's system while Adam Jones was recovering from a hamstring and groin injury this month. Now the injuries impacted the position largely with Jennings replacing Hall, who is expected to start his first game this season. Beyond that Chris Crocker often slide down as the team's third cornerback with Gibril Wilson coming into the game to replace Crocker at safety.
That configuration may still apply for Sunday's game. But this week they'll likely have help from a returning Adam Jones, who still missed Wednesday's practice. According to the team's injury report, Jones is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Other players listed as Probable includes Nate Clements (knee), Kyle Cook (foot), Chris Crocker (knee), Jonathan Fanene (illness), Andrew Hawkins (hamstring), Brian Leonard (knee), Dontay Moch (illness), Frostee Rucker (knee) and Gibril Wilson (ankle).
