Tony Jones rushed 12 times for 34 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints' win over the Panthers. With Jamaal Williams injured and Kendre Miller yet to make his NFL debut, Jones could be the top backfield option for the Saints in Week 3.
Jones became the team's lone available running back after Jamaal Williams (hamstring) exited in the second quarter.
Jones rushed 12 times for 34 yards and two touchdowns.
He failed to catch either of his two targets.
Rookie Kendre Miller (hamstring) has yet to make his NFL debut and Alvin Kamara has one game remaining on his three-game suspension, so Jones could be the Saints' top backfield option by default in Week 3 against the Packers if neither Williams nor Miller are healthy enough to play.
