Jones

Hakws solid left tackle Walter Jones was again not on the practice field Monday, as he missed his the fourth day of practice with a sore shoulder.  Jones in the past has played hurt, so how much the team is worried about the injury is not really yet known.  Jones has made seven straight Pro Bowls, and three of them have come when he missed part of camp with a holdout.  For now Ray Willis has been working at guard in camp, but has the ability to play tackle if need be.  So if there is any question about Jones or he does have to miss some time, they team likely would be able to plug Willis in there for the short term.  There were plenty of other players missing at practice on Monday: S Patrick Ghee, S Jordan Babineaux (bone bruise), FB David Kirtman (hand), TE Ben Joppru (hip), LB Leroy Hill (hamstring), Jones (shoulder), OL Floyd Womack (hamstring), TE Will Heller (ankle), WR Courtney Taylor (knee), DT Marcus Tubbs (knee surgery) and DT Craig Terrill (knee).
