Analysis: Jones was on the field for all 62 of the team's defensive snaps, marking the second straight week he's seen 100 percent of the defensive action and the fourth time overall this season.

No practice to begin week
Jones (foot) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's estimated practice report, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: The Broncos didn't actually take the field for practice, but it wasn't a positive start to the week for Jones. He played in 96 percent of defensive snaps in Week 9 and logged six tackles, so it's unclear how serious the injury is. Jones' participation for the rest of the week should give a clearer indication of whether he'll be available for Thursday's matchup against the Raiders.

Doesn't get much action Monday
Jones recorded three tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed during Monday's 28-3 win versus the Bengals.
Analysis: Jones tallied fewer than seven tackles for the first time this season in Week 4, albeit in a game in which Denver's defense only had to be on the field for 43 snaps. He was also able to log a pass breakup for the third consecutive game. He should get more tackling opportunities in a Week 5 matchup against a run-dependent Philadelphia team.

Jones recorded seven tackles (three solo) and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 20-12 win versus the Titans.
Analysis: In addition to posting a nice tackle total in Week 1, Jones also came up with a loose football early in the second quarter to cut a Tennessee drive short in Denver territory. He played 53 of the Broncos' 55 defensive snaps Sunday, a snap share that keeps him on the IDP radar for a date with Indianapolis in Week 2.

Set for three-year deal in Denver

Analysis: Jones logged an impressive end to his rookie deal in Miami with 48 tackles (36 solo), four pass breakups, two interceptions and one forced fumble (which he recovered) in 2023. The soon-to-be 26-year-old should be able to solidify a Denver defense that's struggled under coach Sean Payton. The Broncos could continue adding to the safety room, but for now, Jones and P.J. Locke look like the likeliest candidates to start the 2024 campaign.

Strong end to rookie contract
Jones racked up 48 tackles (36 solo), four pass breakups, two interceptions and one fumble, which he recovered, across 16 regular-season appearances in 2023.
Analysis: Jones, a 2020 third-round pick, handled his usual reserve role at safety for Miami, starting six contests due to injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. He performed admirably when given the opportunity, especially in a Week 15 win over the Jets in which he logged two INTs. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Dolphins work to retain Jones on a team-friendly deal this offseason, given his fit and familiarity in the secondary.

Set to play Thursday
Jones (chest) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Jones suffered an apparent chest injury during Sunday's 21-19 victory over the Bills, but his ability to practice in a limited fashion during both Tuesday's and Wednesday's sessions indicates he'll be good to go in Week 4 against Cincinnati. The 24-year-old figures to operate as the Dolphins No. 1 strong safety Thursday night.

Limited in practice
Jones (chest) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Jones was a non-participant in Monday's practice estimate, so this is a move in the right direction for the third-year safety. He played 90 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Bills, and there was no report of him suffering an injury during the game. However, if he were unable to play Thursday against the Bengals, it'd be a blow to the team's secondary.

Managing chest injury
Jones (chest) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones played 90 percent of the Dolphins' defensive snaps Monday against the Bills, but he apparently sustained a chest injury that would have kept him off the field if Miami had practiced Monday. It's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability for Thursday's game against the Bengals.

No injury designation for Week 2
Jones doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Jones showed up on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant with a hip injury, but he's good to go for Week 2. The 2020 third-round pick played 54 snaps in the season opener and recorded 11 tackles, one sack and one pass defense.

New addition to injury report
Jones (hip) was limited during practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Jones was believed to be healthy after Week 1, and he was not on the injury report Wednesday. A late-week downgrade could be a concern, however, it's possible Jones is just sore and the team is taking it easy on him heading into Week 2. An absence on his part against the Ravens would be a significant blow to the secondary, especially with fellow safety Eric Rowe (pectoral) also questionable for the contest.

Does it all Sunday
Jones accumulated 11 tackles (six solo), one sack, one pass defended and one forced fumble during Sunday's season opener against the Patriots.
Analysis: Jones was all over the field on defense as he finished as Miami's leading tackler in Week 1 win. The 24-year-old also strip sacked New England quarterback Mac Jones, leading to a two-yard touchdown recovery by linebacker Melvin Ingram in the second quarter. Jones could be in store for a career-best campaign as the Fins' starting strong safety in 2022.

Good to go Sunday
Jones (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: Jones was originally considered questionable after being activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, but he quickly shed the injury designation. The 23-year-old should return to his role as Miami's No. 3 safety now that he's healthy.

Off COVID list, still questionable
Jones was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday. He's still listed as questionable on the injury report with an illness and will take a separate flight to Tennessee ahead of Sunday's game, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The depth safety has quietly been an integral pass rusher for the Dolphins, accumulating five sacks despite playing just 532 defensive snaps. Expect Jones to reprise a similar role provided he's able to shake off the non COVID-19 related illness that has him currently listed as questionable entering Sunday's game.

Lands on COVID list
Jones has been placed on the Dolphins' reserve/COVID-19 list.
Analysis: Jones' placement on the COVID list is the result of a positive test, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He will be unable to play in Sunday's tilt against the Titans unless he can clear the league's health and safety protocols. Sheldrick Redwine and Clayton Fejedelem would be the lone depth at safety if Jones is unable to take the field.

Picks up sack in return
Jones notched six tackles (four solo) and one sack during Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Jones returned from a two-game absence to notch his second sack in as many appearances. Though Jones can't be relied upon as a high-end fantasy producer, he could be worth consideration in deeper IDP formats with a Monday night matchup in New Orleans on deck Week 16.

Ready to return

Won't play Sunday
Jones (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Giants.
Analysis: Jones will be inactive for a second consecutive game despite reports indicating that he was preparing to play in Week 13. Clayton Fejedelem and Sheldrick Redwine both saw limited roles as backup safeties during Jones' absence in Week 12 and will likely see a similar workload against the Giants.

Gearing up to play
Jones (elbow) is preparing to play in Week 13, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The safety was unable to play last week against the Panthers, but he seems ready to return Sunday against the Giants. On the season, Jones has notched 54 tackles and three sacks and recovered two fumbles in 11 contests.

Not playing against Panthers
Jones (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Jones has been dealing with several injuries this season, and while he was able to log a few limited practices earlier this week, it wasn't enough, and he'll now miss a game for the first time in 2021. As a result, expect Clayton Fejedelem to see a potential uptick on his snap count at strong safety.

Questionable for Week 12
Jones (ankle/elbow) is questionable for Sunday's game against Houston.
Analysis: Jones had been dealing with the ankle injury in recent weeks before picking up the elbow problem in Week 11. Nevertheless, he was able to put in limited practices all week. Clayton Fejedelem could see extra playing time Sunday if the 29-year-old can't play.

Questionable to return Sunday
Jones (elbow) is questionable to return Sunday against the Jets.
Analysis: Jones recorded six tackles and one sack before suffering an elbow injury during the second half of the Dolphins Week 11 contest. If he is unable to return, Clayton Fejedelem will be the only healthy safety active behind Eric Rowe and Jevon Holland.

Jones (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game versus Baltimore, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Jones picked up an ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Texans, but he was able to practice as a full participant Wednesday. The 23-year-old has played a significant defensive role over the past five games and has 27 tackles (15 solo) and one fumble recovery.

Dealing with ankle issue
Jones (ankle) was a limited participant in Monday's practice.
Analysis: Jones played 94 percent of defensive snaps during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Texans, so he may simply be receiving a managed workload ahead of Thursday's matchup against Baltimore. Versus Houston, Jones racked up seven tackles (four solo) and one fumble recovery.

Two sacks in defeat
Jones had six tackles (four solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Jones recorded one sack as a rookie last season, but he brought down Derek Carr twice during the second half Sunday. The 23-year-old played 36 of 83 defensive snaps and doesn't offer much IDP value in his current role given the inconsistent snap counts.
