Cleared to play Miami
Jones (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Jones missed the Bills' last three games due to a groin injury. He earned the questionable tag for Week 10 after ending the week with back-to-back limited practices, and he's done enough in pregame warmups to be cleared to play in Sunday's AFC East tilt. Jones' return means there will be less rotational snaps at defensive tackle available for Deone Walker, Jordan Phillips and Phidarian Mathis.

Questionable for Week 10
Jones (calf) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Bills coach Sean McDermott said Friday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, marking his first practice participation since he suffered a calf injury in Week 6 pregame warmups. The defensive tackle's status likely won't be determined until around 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 pm EST kickoff.

Limited Thursday
Jones (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Jones missed practice Wednesday but has now taken a tangible step in the right direction ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Dolphins. Thursday's session represents his first practice activity since injuring his calf in pre-game warmups Week 6.

Practicing Thursday
Jones (calf) is participating in practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones is practicing for the first time since suffering a calf injury in pre-game warmups prior to Buffalo's Week 6 loss to the Falcons. His participation level has yet to be revealed, but it wouldn't be surprising if Jones was eased back in, so his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins remains up in the air.

Won't practice Wednesday
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Jones (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: The 33-year-old has missed each of the Bills' last three games due to a calf injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he isn't nearing a return. Jones is one of Buffalo's top interior defensive linemen, recording eight total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, over just five appearances this season. If he's sidelined again in the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins, expect Deone Walker to have an expanded role on the Bills' defense.

Out for Week 9
Jones (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: With Ed Oliver (biceps) already sidelined, the Bills are getting thin on the interior of their defensive line. Larry Ogunjobi, Jordan Phillips and Deone Walker will have to step into larger roles up front.

Another DNP on Thursday
Jones (calf) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Alaian Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones has missed Buffalo's last two games and appears to be headed for a third consecutive absence Sunday against the Chiefs after opening the week with consecutive DNP designations. Deone Walker has taken on a larger role at defensive tackle in Jones' absence.

Misses Wednesday's practice
Jones (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: The veteran defensive lineman has been sidelined for the Bills' last two games and has yet to return to practice since sustaining a calf injury. Jones likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to have a chance at playing in Sunday's contest against Kansas City. If he's inactive again, expect Deone Walker to play an expanded role on the Bills' defensive line.

Ruled out for Week 8
Jones (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones will miss a second consecutive game, as Buffalo's Week 7 bye didn't provide him enough time to recover from an injury that previously landed him in a walking boot. Deone Walker is set to draw another start at defensive tackle Sunday.

Logs DNP on Wednesday
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Jones (calf) will not practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: The 33-year-old's DNP on Wednesday comes as no surprise, as McDermott told reporters that Jones was considered "week-to-week" following the Bills' Week 6 loss to the Falcons. He's appeared in five of Buffalo's six contests this season, recording eight total tackles over 181 defensive snaps. If Jones is forced to miss his second consecutive game in Week 8 against the Panthers, expect Deone Walker to serve as one of the Bills' top interior defensive linemen.

Considered week-to-week
Coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that Jones (calf) is week-to-week, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones was injured in pregame warmups ahead of Monday night's game against the Falcons and was in a walking boot after the loss. With Jones sidelined, Deone Walker and Jordan Phillips picked up the slack alongside Ed Oliver at defensive tackle.

Sporting walking boot
Jones (calf) was wearing a walking boot on his left foot outside the Bills' locker room after Monday's loss to Atlanta, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones was a last-minute scratch Monday after suffering an injury during warmups. His wearing of a walking boot doesn't provide optimism about his status moving forward, though he could benefit from Buffalo having a Week 7 bye. Deone Walker drew a start Monday with Jones out of action.

Sitting out Monday
Jones won't play Monday in Atlanta due to a calf injury.
Analysis: Jones sustained the injury during pregame warmups. Fellow DT Deone Walker was spotted working with the first-team defense ahead of Monday's game. With a Week 7 bye on tap, Jones' next chance for game action is Sunday, Oct. 26 at Carolina.

Sees dip in production
Jones recorded 23 total tackles (11 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and one pass defended over 16 regular-season games in 2024.
Analysis: Jones started 16 of the Bills' regular-season games this year after missing 10 contests in 2023 due to a pectoral injury. However, the 33-year-old's production declined significantly, as he recorded 15 fewer tackles than in 2022, when he also appeared in 16 regular-season games. Despite the drop in tackles, Jones tallied 2.5 sacks, proving he can still provide some value as an interior pass rusher. The Penn State product is headed into the final year of his current contract after signing a…read more

Remaining with Buffalo
Jones re-signed with the Bills on a two-year contract Tuesday.
Analysis: Jones has spent the past two seasons with the team, appearing in seven regular-season games last year while missing time to recover from a pectoral injury. The 31-year-old still managed to notch 2.5 sacks on the season, which was his most since the 2017 campaign.

Will be available vs. Pats
Jones (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
Analysis: As expected, Jones will return from his 10-game absence in Week 17. It wouldn't be surprising to see Buffalo put him on a snap count in his first game back regardless of whether he starts.

Activated off IR
The Bills activated Jones (pectoral) off injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Buffalo coach Sean McDermott said Friday that he expected Jones to suit up Sunday versus New England, and the defensive tackle's activation seems to confirm that scenario, though Jones is technically still deemed questionable. The 32-year-old hasn't played since sustaining a pectoral injury against Jacksonville in Week 5, so he may have his workload limited if he does take the field Sunday. Linval Joseph could see a decrease in defensive snaps upon Jones' return.

Expected to play Sunday
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that he expects Jones (pectoral) to play Sunday versus the Patriots, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones has missed Buffalo's last 10 games due to a pectoral injury he sustained in Week 5 against the Jaguars, but it looks like he'll finally be ready to return in Week 17. He could start on the defensive line Sunday, though he may be on a snap count whether or not he starts.

Practice window opens
Jones (pectoral) has been designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones has been on IR since Oct. 11 and underwent surgery to repair his pectoral injury. His designation to return will open a 21-day window for him to practice with the team before needing to be moved to the 53-man roster. Although he could technically return as soon as Saturday against the Chargers, Buscaglia noted in a follow-up tweet that, according to head coach Sean McDermott, the coach doesn't expect Jones to play this weekend.

Could return this season
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Jones (pectoral) has "an outside chance" of returning from IR this season, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones landed on IR early October due to a pectoral injury that required surgery, but it sounds like he could return from IR down the stretch. Of course, that may depend on Buffalo actually making a deep playoff run, which is no guarantee. McDermott also confirmed that Matt Milano (leg) is expected to remain on IR for the rest of the 2023 season.

Placed on IR
The Bills placed Jones (pectoral) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Jones will need to miss at least four games due to a pectoral injury he sustained during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Coach Sean McDermott has stated the injury will require surgery, however, so it's possible Jones could be out longer. Buffalo also placed star linebacker Matt Milano (leg) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Expected to miss time
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that Jones will require surgery for the pectoral injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones will likely miss several weeks, but it's not yet known if he'll be out for the rest of the season, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. His expected absence in the weeks ahead will certainly be a blow to the Bills' defense, which has also lost linebacker Matt Milano for an extended period of time due to a leg injury suffered Sunday.

Likely out for game
Jones (pectoral) is doubtful for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
Analysis: The defensive tackle did not make a tackle before exiting. The 10th-year pro has started all five games this season and recorded 10 tackles, five quarterback hits and 2.5 sacks.

Five tackles in win
Jones registered five tackles (one solo) including 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 37-3 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Jones played a key part in the team sacking Sam Howell nine times and forcing the young quarterback to throw four interceptions. Jones has been an important contributor for the Bills' defense this season and will have his hands full as Buffalo welcomes Tua Tagovailoa and the undefeated Dolphins in Week 4.

Back in action
Jones returned to action and was participating in OTAs on Tuesday, Bill Wippert of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones suffered a calf injury during Buffalo's wild-card win against Miami but is now practicing once again. The 31-year-old registered 38 tackles (22 solo) and two sacks in 16 games last season and will likely be a key part of the Bills' defensive line rotation once again during the upcoming campaign.

Inactive for divisional round
Jones (calf) is inactive for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Bengals, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones was limited at practice Wednesday through Friday due a calf injury and drew a questionable designation for Sunday. The veteran defensive tackle will ultimately be sidelined for the playoff matchup, and his absence could be a significant blow to Buffalo's defense, as Jones played over 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps in all but one of his 16 regular-season appearances. In Jones' stead, Tim Settle and Jordan Phillips are candidates for increased snaps along the Bills' defensive line.

Gets to quarterback in win
Jones recorded six tackles and one sack in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Jones recorded his first full sack of the season when he took down Jared Goff for a seven-yard loss late in the first quarter. He also tallied a season-high six tackles and was a key contributor in Thursday's win. On the campaign, Jones has recorded 29 total tackles with 1.5 sacks across 11 games.

Headed to Buffalo
Jones signed with the Bills on Monday, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jones spent the 2021 season with Carolina and managed 38 tackles across 17 games. He'll play a key role with Buffalo in 2022 and should specifically bolster its run defense.

Agrees to deal with Carolina
Jones signed a one-year contract worth $4.05 million with the Panthers on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones played all 48 games for the Titans over the last three seasons, recording 125 tackles, three sacks, four pass breakups and a forced fumble. The 29-year-old defensive tackle will help fill the void left behind after the Panthers cut Zach Kerr and Kawann Short this offseason. Jones will push Bravvion Roy for a starting job next to fellow defensive tackle Derrick Brown in 2021.

Active as expected
Jones (foot) will play in Sunday's divisional game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: It was reported earlier Sunday that Jones was expected to suit up, so this news doesn't come as a surprise. The Penn State product will make his season debut in Week 6, as he's spent most of the season on the COVID-19 list while not practicing. With the Penn State product finally ready to play, it's likely the team will work him into the rotation along side Isaiah Mack at nose tackle for Week 6.

Slated to play Sunday
Jones (foot) is expected to suit up in Sunday's game against the Texans, John Glennon of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Despite Jones failing to suit up in any practice this week, it doesn't appear to have hindered his chances to play Sunday. It's likely he'll have some limitations, as he hasn't practice since he was placed on the COVID-19 list in September. With the Penn State product finally ready to play, it's likely the team will work him into the rotation along side Isaiah Mack at nose tackle for Week 6.

Questionable for divisional tilt
Jones (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Texans, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Jones didn't practice all week, so while the door's still open, he's certainly trending in the wrong direction considering he hasn't practiced since he was placed on the COVID-19 list in late September. If Jones is ruled out, expect Isaiah Mack to start at nose tackle.

Activated from COVID-19 list
Jones has been removed from the Titans' Reserve/COVID-19 list and is active for Tuesday's matchup against the Bills, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Tennessee still has a number of starters sidelined with COVID-19, including Jeffery Simmons on the defensive side of the ball. The Titans at least now return a key component to the interior defensive line with the activation of Jones. The 28-year-old has eight tackles and one QB hit in three appearances this season, and his skills will be needed in a matchup against a Bills offense for which RB Devin Singletary has averaged 4.3 yards per rush on the season.

Lands on COVID-19 list
Jones was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones has either tested positive for the virus or come into close contact with someone who tested positive. The 28-year-old nose tackle will need to progress through the league's COVID-19 protocols before returning to the lineup.

Remains steady
Jones recorded 42 tackles, one sack and three passes defended across 16 games for the Titans in 2019.
Analysis: As usual, Jones didn't post particularly notable stats. However, he remained a key player along the team's defensive line, logging at least a 50 percent snap rate in 14 of his 16 games. Jones is entering the final year of his contract with Tennessee, though the team could cut him this offseason and take on just on $1.3 million in dead cap. That could create a bigger role for Austin Johnson, who began to see more playing time towards the end of the campaign.
