The Slot is Dead

I thought when he was picked he was going to be the heir slot receiver after Boyd departed.

Surely the Bengals aren't just too afraid to play him on offense because they need him to return punts, right?

Jones as a perfect skill set for the slot.
He has great speed and agility.
He dominated his final year at Purdue, so it's not like there wasn't tape showing he can translate that speed and agility to the field.

This is the mystery. Does he not know the plays? Did Burrow lose confidence in him? Does Zac want to protect his KR/PR guy? Does he just constantly get owned by DBs in practice? I guess Zac, Pitcher, etc has made their choice and are sticking to it: Iosivas is WR3.
