Wide receiver Tiger Jones has 61 touchdown catches in only 22 games with the Soul. He needs three to pass Donovan Morgan and four to pass Sean Scott to get to second place in team history. He is battling an ankle injury, but practiced yesterday and will be a game-time decision. Larry Brackins is the leader with 83 . . .
