Out for season
Jones (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Matt Patricia told Rothstein that Jones injured his ankle on the final possession of the Lions' Week 14 loss at Minnesota. Apparently, the issue is severe enough to keep Jones sidelined for the remainder of the season, which is a fate that has befallen him for the second straight year. Overall, he hauled in 62 of 91 targets for 779 yards and nine touchdowns in 13 games in 2019. In Jones' absence, Kenny Golladay figures to be even more prominent in the passing attack, while Danny Amendola…read more

Held in check
Jones hauled in three of seven targets for 38 yards in the team's Week 14 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Jones racked up seven targets but managed to convert fewer than half into receptions. His longest gain of the day came midway through the first quarter, when he hauled in an 18-yard reception down the right sideline. On a positive note, Jones has shown some rapport with third-string quarterback David Blough, racking up 13 targets in two games with Blough under center. Jones will draw an exploitable matchup in Week 15 as the Lions take on the Buccaneers.

Catches another touchdown
Jones caught three of six targets for 40 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: News that Detroit would be turning to its third-string quarterback understandably made it hard to trust Jones against a tough Chicago team, but the veteran wideout put up a respectable fantasy total nonetheless thanks to his outstanding red-zone prowess. In fact, Thursday's touchdown marked Jones ninth score in 12 games this season and he only needs one more to match his career high of 10 touchdowns from the 2013 campaign with Cincinnati. Combined with his upside to rack up triple-digit…read more

Targeted 11 times in loss
Jones caught five of 11 targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Jones, like the Lions' offense has a whole, has missed Matthew Stafford (back), but the veteran wide receiver has made the most of playing with backup Jeff Driskel, enjoying a team-high 21 targets in Driskel's three starts. Driskel showed Sunday that he's willing to force the ball to Jones, sometimes to the Lions' advantage -- such as on a 14-yard sideline throw to set up a field goal just before halftime -- and sometimes to the team's detriment, such as on an ill-timed interception in the…read more

Catches two TD passes vs. Dallas
Jones caught four of five targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Jones tied for the team lead in targets but finished averaging an atypical 10.8 yards per catch. He ruggedly found his way into the end zone from 11 yards out in the third quarter and added a 25-yard score in the fourth, keeping his team in a game it was expected to lose handily. Jones now has seven touchdowns in his last five games and seems able to produce even with Jeff Driskel under center. He could have room to flourish next Sunday against the Redskins and will possess even greater upside…read more

Not impacted by Stafford's absence
Jones caught five of six targets for a team-high 77 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: It was encouraging to see Jones post a typical stat line with Jeff Driskel filling in for Matthew Stafford (back) under center. While Jones' ceiling is certainly lower sans Stafford, he should remain a viable fantasy option against the Cowboys in Week 11 regardless of whether the Lions' starting quarterback makes his return.

Missing starting QB in Week 10
Jones will be catching passes from backup quarterback Jeff Driskel in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Bears with Matthew Stafford (back) inactive for the contest.
Analysis: Jones' fantasy outlook, along with that of the rest of his skill-position teammates, naturally takes a sizable hit with Stafford out of action. Driskel does have starting experience, having logged nine games under center with the Bengals last season during which he generated a 6:2 TD:INT and threw for 1,003 yards overall. However, a last-minute spot start against the Bears at Soldier Field figures to be a difficult assignment, even with Chicago's defense not quite as consistent as in seasons…read more

Finds end zone in loss to Raiders
Jones caught eight of 10 targets for 126 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Jones led the team in targets while averaging a healthy 15.8 yards per catch. He broke off a season-long 47-yard gain to help him get there and added a two-yard touchdown reception to give him six scores through eight games in 2019. Jones is on pace for one of the best statistical seasons of his career and will look to keep it up next Sunday against the Bears.

Held in check vs. Giants
Jones caught four of six targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 31-26 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Jones finished third on the team in targets and receptions, but his long gain went for just six yards in an underwhelming effort. This dud performance was especially notable considering Jones recorded four touchdown catches a week ago, giving him two games with fewer than 25 receiving yards in his last three. The mercurial wideout will look to bounce back in next week's favorable away matchup with the Raiders.

Catches four TD passes
Jones caught 10 of 13 targets for 93 yards and four touchdowns during Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Jones led the team in targets and receptions, but his prowess in the red zone was the story of the day. He caught touchdown passes of 16 and three yards in the first quarter before adding a 10-yard score in the third quarter and a two-yard strike in the fourth. This was a terrific bounce-back effort after Jones managed just 17 yards in his previous outing, and even more so considering he had just one touchdown this season coming in. He should be productive again in next Sunday's matchup with…read more

Two catches in Green Bay
Jones caught two of five targets for 17 yards during Monday's 23-22 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Jones interestingly saw a lot of attention from stud cornerback Jaire Alexander in this one, presumably because the Packers wanted to match up the larger of their starting cornerbacks, Kevin King, on Detroit's 6-foot-4 Kenny Golladay. This translated into a tough outing for Jones and it didn't help that he seemingly was the victim of an uncalled pass interference penalty on a deep pass down the left sideline. Not only that, but there seemed to be other times when he got open only for Matthew…read more

Snags three passes in loss
Jones caught three of five passes for 77 yards during Sunday's 34-30 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Jones got involved early, cutting up the middle of the defense for a 33-yard gain midway through the first quarter. Jones started the season off somewhat quiet, but has 178 yards and a touchdown over his past two games. He and Kenny Golladay are fairly even in usage through the first quarter of the season, though Jones fans would surely like a more even split in touchdowns, currently four to one in favor of Golladay.

Eclipses century mark in win
Jones hauled in six of nine targets for 101 yards in the Lions' 27-24 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: Jones took on the mantle of lead receiver from Kenny Golladay in the impressive road victory, and he brought in Matthew Stafford's only passing score of the day on a beautiful 12-yard catch with 14:53 left in the contest. Jones hadn't eclipsed 56 receiving yards or scored a receiving touchdown during his first two games, so this was officially his 2019 breakout performance. He'll look to make it back-to-back fruitful efforts versus the Chiefs in Week 4.

Third on team in receiving yards
Jones caught five of six targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 13-10 victory over the Chargers.
Analysis: The deep threat was mostly targeted in the intermediate parts of the field, but Matthew Stafford did try forcing a bomb to Jones in double coverage only for the pass to be intercepted. Clearly the No. 2 option behind Kenny Golladay, Jones' production might continue to be dependent on the few big-play opportunities he sees per game, and it's likely he won't be of much utility on days like Sunday when he isn't able to find the end zone. Next up is a beatable Eagles secondary on the road in Week 3.

Efficient with handful of opportunities
Jones caught all four of his targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Cardinals.
Analysis: Jones didn't get many chances to shine Sunday, getting at least twice as few targets as each of Danny Amendola (13), Kenny Golladay (9) and T.J. Hockenson (9). However, the 29-year-old at least made the most of his opportunities, once making a solid catch to move the chains on third down and also tracking down a ball for a 23-yard gain to bring the Lions within field-goal range in overtime. It wouldn't surprise anyone if this sort of workload distribution becomes a trend as the rest of the year…read more

Plays with first-string offense
Jones (undisclosed) caught one of his three targets for seven yards in the 24-20 preseason loss to the Bills on Friday.
Analysis: It was a bit surprising to see Jones play in the exhibition contest considering the 29-year-old missed last weekend's preseason loss to the Texans with an undisclosed injury, but that evidently isn't bothering him considering the veteran wideout played every single snap with the first-string offense. After a breakout 2017 campaign, Jones took a step back due to injuries and uneven play. If he plays a full 16 games, it's not unreasonable to project Jones could get near his career high's from two…read more

Limited in return to practice
Jones (undisclosed) was a limited practice participant Tuesday, Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Jones was held out of last weekend's preseason loss to the Texans with the unspecified injury before returning to practice Monday. He'll likely be held out of Friday's exhibition against Buffalo, though he hasn't actually been ruled out yet. With Danny Amendola (undisclosed) also banged up, the Lions signed Jordan Lasley on Tuesday to help with wideout depth.

Back at practice
Jones (undisclosed) will return to practice Monday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per coach Matt Patricia, Jones -- who didn't make the trip to Houston for last week's preseason game -- is slated to work on at least a limited basis Monday, to "see how (he goes) through it." The wideout's status for Friday's preseason game against the Bills has yet to be determined, but Jones' return to practice puts him on track to be good to go and in the Lions' starting lineup come Week 1.

Jones (knee) returned to practice Thursday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The same goes for Kenny Golladay (chest), who also was held out of practice throughout the offseason program. Jones and Golladay are locked in as the Lions' starting outside receivers, with Danny Amendola set to man the slot in three-wide formations.

Did not practice in OTAs
Jones (knee) did not practice during the offseason program, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Jones spent the majority of his time working to rehab from a knee injury that put the 29-year-old wideout on injured reserve in late November. The Lions brought in two veteran receivers, Danny Amendola and Jermaine Kearse, in the offseason, but neither should threaten Jones' status as the No. 2 option behind Kenny Golladay (chest) should he return to full health.

Little action during minicamp
Jones (knee) was working with the rehab group Wednesday during the Lions' mandatory minicamp, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones hasn't done much in individual or team drills this spring and seems likely to be held under wraps until training camp starts up. With Kenny Golladay (chest) also working his way back from an injury, the Lions' first-team receiving corps has mostly consisted of Danny Amendola, Chris Lacy and Andy Jones this week, according to Rothstein.

Starting OTAs on sideline
Jones (knee) isn't participating in individual or team drills at the start of OTAs, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones said in March that he expected to be ready for the offseason program, but it's now clear Detroit has other plans for the 28-year-old receiver. With two more weeks of OTAs plus June's mandatory minicamp still to come, there's plenty of time for Jones to work his way back into action before training camp kicks off in late July. There's also little incentive for Jones to put himself out there any sooner than necessary, as he's locked into a starting job opposite Kenny Golladay (chest).

Making progress
Jones (knee) is expected to be a full participant in the Lions' offseason program, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Jones' 2018 season came to a premature close after he suffered what was initially classified as a right knee bruise during Detroit's Week 10 loss to Chicago. Since there haven't been any reports the setback required surgery, it's not a huge surprise he could be running around again in time for OTAs this spring. Jones is entering the fourth year of the five-year contract he signed with the Lions in 2016.

Might be expendable
Jones (knee) may be considered expendable after Kenny Golladay broke out for 1,063 yards in 2018, Nate Atkins of MLive.com reports.
Analysis: Jones is coming off an injury-shortened season with a team that's trying to move toward a run-first offense, yet he still seems like a pretty good fit in Detroit, where he'll be entering the fourth season of a five-year, $40 million contract without much talent behind him at wide receiver. While the reasonable contract gives him some value on the trade market, it would be easier for the Lions to simply keep him around as a reliable No. 2 receiver alongside Golladay. The team seemingly expects…read more

The Lions will place Jones (knee) on injured reserve, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: There was some hope Jones could return from a two-game absence to play Week 13 against the Rams, but he'll instead be ruled out for the rest of the season, leaving Bruce Ellington, TJ Jones, Andy Jones and Brandon Powell as Detroit's complementary wide receivers behind Kenny Golladay.

Chance to return in Week 13
Jones (knee) won't play Thursday against the Bears, but he has a chance to return to action against the Rams on Dec. 2, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jones has been dealing with a bone bruise in his knee, but it looks like the receiver's absence may be limited to two games, with his Week 13 playing prospects bolstered by the added healing time the Lions' current short week will afford him. With Jones out Thursday, look for TJ Jones and Andy Jones, along with Bruce Ellington (assuming he plays through back issue) to see added work in the Detroit passing game behind top option Kenny Golladay.

Officially ruled out
Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bears, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones hasn't been able to practice in any capacity the past two weeks while recovering from a bone bruise in his knee. It's an unpredictable injury that could lead to missed time beyond Week 12, though a return for Week 13 against the Rams wouldn't come as a major surprise either. Kenny Golladay is a clear favorite to lead the Lions in targets during the Thanksgiving Day game, with TJ Jones, Bruce Ellington (back) and Andy Jones all providing support.

Analysis: After missing Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Jones doesn't seem to be moving toward playing Thursday having logged a pair of DNPs to open the week.

Listed as non-participant
Jones (knee) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Given that he didn't come close to playing in Sunday's 20-19 win over Carolina, the veteran wideout doesn't seem especially likely to return for Thursday's game against the Bears. With top running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) also shaping up as a long shot, the Lions likely will be short on offensive weapons for the difficult matchup. Jones is recovering from a bone bruise in his knee and didn't practice at all last week.

He may be dealing with a more serious injury, though an earlier MRI ruled out damage to his ACL or MCL.

Jones is scheduled to receive a second opinion on the knee injury he suffered in the second half of Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Bears, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Lions haven't commented on the specifics surrounding Jones' injury, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Tuesday that the wideout was being viewed as day-to-day after sustaining a bone bruise in his knee rather than any damage to his ACL or MCL.

Analysis: The bone bruise Jones suffered in Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Bears remains a concern heading into a Week 11 matchup with the Panthers, as the injury has sidelined him for back-to-back practices.

Misses practice with knee issue
Jones (knee) was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones tried to return to Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Bears after suffering a bone bruise in the third quarter, but he ultimately wasn't able to play through the injury and had to sit out late in the game. While fortunate to avoid ligament damage, the 28-year-old wideout is no lock to be ready in time for the Lions' Week 11 game against the Panthers. Detroit may have little choice but to pepper Kenny Golladay with targets.

Diagnosed with bone bruise
Jones (knee) has been diagnosed with a bone bruise, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jones is considered day-to-day after tests showed his ACL and MCL are intact, but this is still an injury that threatens his availability for Week 11 against Carolina. He was removed late in the third quarter of Sunday's 34-22 loss to Chicago, finishing with three catches for 55 yards on seven targets. The Detroit passing game will run through Kenny Golladay if Jones misses any time, with TJ Jones, Bruce Ellington and Brandon Powell all candidates to take some of the vacated snaps.

Three receptions before early exit
Before exiting with a knee injury late in third quarter of Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Bears, Jones brought in three of seven targets for 55 yards.
Analysis: Jones generated a team-high 18.3 YPC on the afternoon before his exit. The veteran receiver suffered the injury late in the third quarter on an unsuccessful catch attempt down the sideline over Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller, and he did not return to the contest as Detroit tried to mount a comeback. Further details are likely forthcoming regarding the severity of the injury, which is of paramount concern to a Lions squad that just traded Golden Tate to the Eagles at the trade deadline.

Picks up knee injury Sunday
Jones (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Chicago, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: The Lions picked up injuries to offensive stalwarts in the second half of this game -- also, running back Kerryon Johnson (ankle) -- leaving the team woefully thin at the skill positions. If Jones remains sidelined, Detroit's wideout group will be whittled down to Kenny Golladay, TJ Jones and Brandon Powell.

Gets 66 yards in Week 9 loss
Jones caught six of eight targets for a team-high 66 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Jones has topped 60 receiving yards in back-to-back weeks after exceeding that mark only once in his first six games. With Golden Tate now plying his trade in Philadelphia after a trade deadline deal, Jones and Kenny Golladay should both see increased roles in Detroit's passing game against the Bears in Week 10 and beyond.
