Julio Jones has been another offensive weapon for quarterback Tom Brady to utilize this season. The receiver signed for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the offseason and has made some vital contributions to help the team reach the playoffs.
The seven-time Pro Bowler has missed seven games this campaign and was inactive in Week 18 as he was dealing with a knee injury. There were some doubts about whether he would play against the Dallas Cowboys in tonight's Wild Card game.
However, he trained with the team during the week and will be ready to go against the Cowboys.
Julio Jones' stats in the 2022-23 NFL season
Julio Jones has recorded a total of 299 receiving yards on 23 passes this season, scoring two touchdowns. He also has 45 rushing yards on five carries across 10 appearances.
However, the receiver hasn't put up any 100-yard games so far. Nonetheless, the Buccaneers will be hoping that Jones can produce a big performance against Dallas.
Jones has forged a strong partnership with Tom Brady this season, despite his absence for the majority of the campaign. The two NFL veterans are expected to play important roles if Todd Bowles' side are to progress to the next round.
NFL Playoffs: Buccaneers vs. Cowboys prediction
The Buccaneers finished the regular season as the NFC South champions with an 8-9 record. Meanwhile, the Cowboys finished second in the NFC East with a 12-5 record.
This game promises to be an intriguing one because Tom Brady has never lost to the Cowboys in his career. The quarterback is 7-0 against Dallas but has never faced them in the postseason.
Mike McCarthy's Cowboys lost their final regular-season game against the Washington Commanders. They will need Dak Prescott to fire on all cylinders if they are to get the better of the Buccaneers.
In what promises to be a close game, it wouldn't be a surprise if Brady produces another sublime display to lead Tampa Bay to victory.
