Amidst a handful of offensive players ruled out for Thursday's game against the Ravens – namely Russell Gage Jr. and Cameron Brate – the Bucs listed veteran wide receiver Julio Jones as a game-time decision.
The Pro Football Docs contend that the 33-year-old Jones is unlikely to suit up once again and would be significantly limited by his sprained PCL if he does.
Jones has an SIC score of 63, one of three key Bucs' receivers with an SIC score below 75.
The future hall-of-famer was effective in his Buccaneers' debut in Week 1 against the Cowboys, totaling 86 yards on five touches, including two jet sweeps.
He suffered a partially-torn PCL in that game and has played once since, catching one of two targets for nine yards in 18 snaps in Week 4.
The Tom Brady-led passing offense has struggled against expectations this season partly because of injuries to Jones, Chris Godwin, and the offensive line, helping them to a pass offense SIC score of 79.2.
