News

  • Cleared to play

  • Out for Week 3

    Jones (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old from Ole Miss was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise he'll be unavailable Sunday. Jones has played strictly on special teams in Chicago this season, recording three total tackles across 39 snaps.

  • Claimed by Bears

    The Bears claimed Jones off waivers from the Cardinals on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jones spent his first three seasons in the league with the Bears but played fewer snaps each year before signing with the Cardinals in free agency. It didn't work out with the Cardinals, so now he's back with his original team. Jones adds immediate secondary depth with Jaylon Johnson (leg) nursing an injury.

  • Exits early Saturday

    Jones exited Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders with a head injury, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones went to the locker room to be examined for a concussion. He appeared in eight regular-season games for the Bears last season, making one start.

  • Two tackles in preseason debut

    Jones (shoulder) recorded two solo tackles in Saturday's 20-17 preseason win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Jones signed with the Cardinals in the offseason after he underwent shoulder surgery in January, but he was able to give it a go in the team's preseason opener. The 27-year-old is expected to serve as a depth option behind Garrett Williams at slot cornerback in 2025.

  • Heads to Arizona

    Jones (shoulder) signed with the Cardinals on Thursday after going untendered by the Bears, Jess Root of the USA Today Network reports.

    Analysis: The cornerback played his first three seasons with Chicago, seeing more special-teams snaps than defensive snaps in each of the last two. In 2024, Jones suffered a shoulder injury in Week 9 that forced him out for the rest of the year and eventually required surgery. He finished the season with 15 tackles (13 solo) and two pass breakups.

  • Recovering from shoulder surgery

    Jones underwent surgery to address the shoulder injury he sustained in Week 9 at Arizona, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones missed Chicago's last nine games of the season due to his shoulder issue, and there's still no concrete timetable for his return. He's in line to become a restricted free agent during the offseason.

  • Misses nine games

    Jones missed the last nine games of the season with a shoulder injury, and ended the year with 15 tackles (13 solo) and two passes defensed in eight games played.

    Analysis: Jones posted 47 tackles as a rookie in 2022, though he was pressed into starting duty often as the team dealt with injuries in the secondary. In the last two seasons, Jones has served as a rotational player. Of his 15 tackles this year, 10 came in the Week 6 game when he was called upon to start. Jones will be a restricted free agent this offseason.

  • Placed on injured reserve

    The Bears placed Jones (shoulder) on injured reserve Thursday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Analysis: Jones was injured in last Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Cardinals and will now miss a minimum of four games. The 27-year-old defensive back has appeared in eight games this season, seeing 76 snaps on defense and another 140 on special teams. Jones has 15 tackles (13 solo) and two pass breakups.

  • Done for night

    Jones (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's contest with the Cardinals.

  • Unlikely to return Sunday

    Jones (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday's contest with the Cardinals, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Analysis: Jones is likely done for the night after suffering a shoulder injury in the second half against Arizona. With Terell Smith (ankle) also ruled out, the Bears are rather thin in the secondary.

  • Double-digit tackles in victory

    Jones tallied 10 stops in the Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jones took over a starting role with Tyrique Stevenson (calf) missing this game due to injury. When Stevenson returns, Jones will return to a depth role. Coming into this game, Jones had a total of four tackles over five games.

  • Drawing Week 6 start

    Jones is expected to start at cornerback in Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Analysis: Jones will pick up his first start since the 2022 season as he steps in as a replacement at one of the boundary corner spots for Tyrique Stevenson (calf), who is inactive. Over his five appearances on the season, Jones has tallied four tackles and two pass breakups across 104 total snaps (10 on defense, 94 on special teams).

  • Set to hit free agency

    Jones ended the season with 23 tackles in 17 games played.

    Analysis: After playing 440 snaps as a rookie in 2022, Jones played just 142 snaps in 2023. From Week 10 on, the cornerback played just 35 total snaps, as his role decreased from earlier in the season. Jones is an unrestricted free agent who will look to land a depth role at cornerback.

  • Participates in minicamp

    Jones (concussion) participated in Chicago's mandatory minicamp Thursday, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: During his rookie campaign, the 25-year-old played in 16 games appearing on both defense and special teams en route to logging 47 tackles (33 solo). Now past the concussion that he sustained in Week 18 last season, Johnson will likely serve as a rotational player in the Bears' secondary in 2023.

  • Rotational player in 2022

    Jones, who left Sunday's game with a concussion, ended the season with 49 tackles and a forced fumble over 16 games played.

    Analysis: Jones played mostly on special teams through Week 8, but when the Bears dealt with injuries at cornerback, he moved into a more prominent role. He played more than 30 snaps on just four occasions, but in two of those games, he posted tackle totals of eight and 14. He should continue to serve as a rotational player in 2023. He's signed through the 2024 season.

  • Ruled out with concussion

    Jones has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings due to a concussion.

    Analysis: Jones presumably suffered a concussion during the Bears' blowout loss to Detroit in Week 17 and didn't practice at all during Week 18 prep, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. Kyler Gordon (groin) is questionable, so Chicago may be without two of its top cornerbacks for the regular-season finale against Minnesota.

  • Surprises with big game

    Jones tallied eight stops in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jones stepped into the lineup with Kyler Gordon out, and ended up second on the team in tackles. Should Gordon miss time after Chicago's Week 14 bye, Jones could be considered a streaming option in IDP leagues.

  • Huge performance

    Jones notched 13 tackles in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Jaylon Johnson (quadriceps) sitting this one out, Jones played a prominent role for the defense, and he led the team in tackles. Of course, in a similar role last week, he posted just three tackles. If Johnson misses another game, Jones would be considered a volatile IDP option.
