Recovered from groin injury
Jones (groin) isn't listed on Washington's injury report for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Jones sustained a groin injury during Washington's Week 10 loss to the Lions, but he has recovered in time to suit up Sunday against the Dolphins in Madrid. He has started only one game in 2025 but is likely to make a second start Sunday since Marshon Lattimore (knee) and Trey Amos (lower leg) are both on IR.

Exits game with groin injury
Jones (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Detroit.
Analysis: Jones was taken to the locker room, where medical staff will evaluate his groin injury to determine whether he can return. Trey Amos (ankle) already has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game, so Antonio Hamilton, Mike Sainristil and Noah Igbinoghene will be the Commanders' top corners if Jones is not cleared to return.

Playing Sunday
Jones (hamstring) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys.

Activated from IR
The Commanders activated Jones (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Jones sustained a hamstring injury during the Commanders' Week 2 loss to the Packers, which was severe enough for him to necessitate a stint on injured reserve. He was a full participant in practice all week, but his activation from IR indicates that he is on track to play in Week 7. Jones would serve on special teams and in a reserve role at cornerback should he be cleared to play Sunday.

Designated as questionable
Jones (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Dallas, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones has missed the Commanders' last four games due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 2 at Green Bay, but there's a chance he could return in Week 7 after participating fully at practice during the week. Whenever he returns, his primary hurdle to snaps at cornerback may be rookie second-rounder Trey Amos.

Practice window opens
The Commanders designated Jones (hamstring) to return to practice from IR on Wednesday.
Analysis: Jones now has a 21-day window to be evaluated at practice without counting against the 53-man roster, within which Washington can activate him from IR at any time. Once fully recovered from the hamstring injury he sustained Week 2 against the Packers, Jones is expected to resume contributing on special teams and in a depth role on defense. If he's able to resume practicing in full immediately, he could return to action as early as Sunday versus the Cowboys.

Jones (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Jones is working through a hamstring injury, which has limited his participation in each of the first two practices of the week.

Heading to Washington
The Commanders signed Jones to a one-year contract Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones has only played for the Patriots since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2016, and he played a pivotal role on New England's defense during its two Super Bowl victories. The 31-year-old corner out of Auburn gives the Commanders a veteran one-two punch at outside corner opposite Marshon Lattimore. Jones played in all 17 regular-season games for the Patriots in 2024 and finished with 58 tackles (41 solo), six pass defenses and two forced fumbles.

Fails to haul in INT in 2024
Jones played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 58 tackles (41 solo), six pass defenses and two forced fumbles.
Analysis: Jones tied with Marcus Jones (hip) for third-most tackles on the Patriots' secondary behind Kyle Dugger (81) and Christian Gonzalez (59). Jones has spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the Patriots since signing as an undrafted free agent in May of 2016. He enters the offseason as a free agent, and whether he stays in New England will depend on the vision of incoming head coach Mike Vrabel.

Reliable again across 14 starts
Jones racked up 48 tackles (40 solo) and seven pass breakups across 14 regular-season appearances with the Patriots in 2023.
Analysis: Jones didn't record an interception in 2023, but when on the field he once again was one of New England's most reliable assets in the secondary. Now heading into his age-31 season and the final season of the two-year, $19 million contract he inked with the Patriots last offseason, Jones can safely be considered to play a key role for the 2024 campaign, especially given his ability to contribute at both cornerback and safety.

Bouncing back from shoulder injury
Jones, who underwent season-ending shoulder surgery last October, is progressing well, per Michael Giardi of NFL Network.

Returns quickly
Jones (ribs) has already returned to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Leaves with rib injury
Jones went to the locker room with a rib injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Dallas, Jori Epstein of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Jones was bent over on the field for a few minutes before heading to the locker room, where he was reported to be in a lot of pain. This leaves the Patriots very thin in the secondary as a number of their corners came into the game inactive for various reasons. Justin Bethel usually only sees special teams work but is now in line for extra snaps.

Off injured list
Jones (undisclosed) isn't listed on the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Jones injured himself in a joint practice with the Giants, but he is now off the injury list and is expected to play in New England's season opener against the Dolphins. The Patriots don't have much depth at cornerback this season, so Jones' health could end up being crucial for the teams' secondary.

Suffers minor injury Thursday
Jones (undisclosed) suffered a minor injury during Thursday's joint practice with the Giants, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: Jones finished the 2020 campaign with 74 tackles and two interceptions in 16 games, and he is expected to be a key cog in the team's secondary this season. The 27-year-old's health is important for the Patriots as they already have a thin cornerback group, and they recently tried to remedy that issue by trading for fifth-round pick Shaun Wade.

Notches 74 tackles in 2020
Jones finished the 2020 season with a career-high 74 tackles and two interceptions in 16 games.
Analysis: With Jones under contract with New England through the 2022 campaign, the 27-year old will continue to be a key cog in the team's secondary next season. In that capacity, the Auburn product will merit attention in deeper IDP formats.

Ready to rock
Jones (neck) is officially active for Thursday's game versus the Rams.
Analysis: Jones came into the game as a game-time call after missing last week's game against the Chargers with the neck issue, but his addition will be a boost to the secondary. Jones will likely handle his usual depth role in the secondary, as he's spent time on defense and on special teams this season.

Game-time call Thursday
Jones (neck) was listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Jones was forced out of last week's win over the Chargers with the neck issue, and he logged limited practice time throughout the week. It appears Jones is trending as a true game-time decision for the game, so his status might not be known until an hour and a half prior to kickoff. If he's forced to sit, Jason McCourty and Myles Bryant would be in line for more snaps at cornerback for the contest.

Limited Monday
Jones (neck) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Jones suffered this injury during this past Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers. He was one of 14 players to be listed as LP on the practice estimate. His status should become more clear as the week progresses, and he'll aim to recover quickly with a Thursday night game against the Rams on the horizon.

Ready to play Saturday
Jones (groin) is officially active for Saturday's game against the Titans
Analysis: The 26-year-old was considered questionable after working as a limited practice participant this week, but he's good to play in Saturday's playoff matchup. Jones could see increased snaps with Jason McCourty (groin) sidelined versus Tennessee.

Jones (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff tilt against the Titans.
Analysis: Jones logged a trio of limited practices this week, a good sign for his chances of suiting up against the Titans on Saturday. With Jason McCourty (groin) also listed as questionable, Jones could tentatively have the opportunity for increased snaps come game time.

Ready to roll
Jones (groin) is officially active for Sunday's divisional matchup versus Miami.
Analysis: Jones missed last week's game while tending to the groin issue, and after suiting up in a limited fashion for practice this week, has shaken off the injury. The Auburn product could see a slight uptick in snaps with fellow cornerback Jason McCourty (groin) deemed inactive for the contest.

Could play Week 17
Jones (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Jones missed last Saturday's win over the Bills due to the groin injury, but he was able to return to practice as a limited participant this week. J.C. Jackson would likely play an expanded role should Jones again be sidelined.

Won't face Bills
Jones (groin) is ruled out for Saturday's divisional contest against the Bills.
Analysis: Jones didn't practice in any capacity this week, and he'll now miss his first game of the season. J.C. Jackson will likely play a starting role in the Patriots' secondary as long as Jones remains sidelined.

Trending in wrong direction
Jones (groin) was not spotted at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media and is not expected to be available for Saturday's tilt against the Bills, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones appears set to be listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, which would mark his third straight missed practice of the week. If the four-year pro is indeed forced to miss the first game of his career, expect J.C. Jackson to play a starting role in New England's secondary Week 16.

DNP for consecutive practices
Jones (groin) missed a second straight practice Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of The Springfield Republican reports.
Analysis: Jones will need to practice in some capacity to have a shot at playing Saturday versus the Bills, but at this point, he's certainly trending in the wrong direction. Should Jones miss the first game of his four-year career, J.C. Jackson would likely bump into a starting role.

Sustains groin injury
Jones exited Sunday's game against the Bengals with a groin injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones started this contest since Jason McCourty (groin) was inactive. The Patriots will have a shortened week, playing Saturday against the Bills, so it's worth keeping an eye on Jones and McCourty throughout the practice week ahead of a crucial divisional showdown.
