TAMPA — Philadelphia Eagles receiver Julio Jones was ruled out of Monday’s season-ending 32-9 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because of a concussion.

Jones was injured with about five minutes remaining in the first half following a collision with cornerback Zyon McCollum near the sideline at the end of Jones’ 14-yard completion. Jones exited and did not return.

The Eagles entered the game without star receiver A.J. Brown, who is dealing with a knee injury suffered in the regular-season finale against the New York Giants. Jones and Quez Watkins were among the receivers trying to fill the void.

Jones, 34, was an in-season signing by Philadelphia. He had 11 catches for 74 yards with three touchdowns in 11 games during the regular season.
