News

  • Headed to Las Vegas

    The Raiders signed Jones (back) on Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jones appeared in 14 games with Miami in 2025, but he was shut down ahead of Week 17 with a back injury. Now, he's evidently in good shape for football activities again and is getting a shot with a new team. Las Vegas recently lost defensive tackle Leki Fotu to the Giants in free agency, and it's reasonable to suspect Jones could fill a similar role to the one Fotu left behind with the Raiders.

  • Visits with G-Men

    The Giants hosted Jones (back) for a visit on Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Jones logged four regular-season appearances in 2025 before being placed on IR due to a back injury, tallying 15 total tackles and one pass defensed while handling 260 defensive snaps. The 28-year-old appears back to full health, and he could shore up New York's interior defensive line after the team traded Dexter Lawrence to Cincinnati.

  • Campaign over

    Jones (back) was placed on the injured reserve list Saturday.

    Analysis: Jones had already been ruled out for the Dolphins' Week 17 matchup against the Buccaneers due to a back injury, but following his placement on IR, his 2025 season is over. The Ole Miss product appeared in 14 games this year, recording 15 total tackles and one pass defensed over 260 defensive snaps. Jones signed a one-year, $2 million deal with Miami in March, so he's set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

  • Ruled out for Week 17

    Jones (back) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Jones was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he downgraded to being a non-participant Friday. With the starting defensive tackle sidelined versus Tampa Bay, rookies Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips will both stand to handle expanded workloads on defense alongside Zach Sieler.

  • Ready to rock

    Jones (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Jones logged two full practice sessions this week, separated by a Thursday absence due to personal reasons. The defensive tackle has had a reduced snap share since temporarily leaving the Dolphins' Week 11 victory over the Commanders with his persistent ankle injury. If that trend continues, expect rookie defensive tackles Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips to continue seeing larger shares of snaps.

  • Absent for personal reasons

    Jones (ankle/personal) did not practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Jones was a full participant in practice Wednesday while working through an ankle injury. Assuming that the personal reason for the defensive tackle's Thursday absence does not require his attention the remainder of the week, Jones should be set to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Jets. However, if Jones is ultimately sidelined, Kenneth Grant will likely see a larger share of defensive snaps.

  • Green light to play Week 13

    Jones (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

    Analysis: Jones picked up an ankle injury during the Dolphins' Week 11 win over the Commanders. He had additional time to recover courtesy of Miami's Week 12 bye, and after being limited in practice during Week 13 prep, the 28-year-old defensive lineman has progressed enough in his rehab to play Sunday. Jones has posted 12 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 10 regular-season games.

  • Could play Sunday

    Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Ole Miss product practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week and played through his ankle injury in the Week 11 win over the Commanders, suggesting that he'll likely suit up Sunday. However, if Jones is unable to go for the Week 13 matchup, expect 2025 first-round pick Kenneth Grant to have an expanded role on Miami's defensive line.

  • Still dealing with ankle issue

    Jones (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Jones suffered the injury during Miami's Week 11 win over the Commanders, though he was able to play through it. That he was able to practice in limited fashion coming out of the team's bye suggests he'll be available for a Week 13 matchup against New Orleans, though Jones' official status may remain unclear until Friday.

  • Returns to Sunday's contest

    Jones (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Jones left in the first quarter of Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, but he was cleared by medical staff to return. His return will bolster the Dolphins' defensive front the rest of the way.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    Jones (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Analysis: Jones sustained an ankle injury during the first quarter of Sunday's game, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Jordan Phillips and Kenneth Grant are slated for more snaps at defensive tackle for as long as Jones is out of the game.

  • Good to go Thursday

    Jones (oblique) is active for Thursday night's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: The defensive tackle was listed as questionable Wednesday after being tagged as a limited participant on Miami's practice reports this week. Jones suffered the injury in Week 1 against the Colts and missed the Dolphins' Week 2 clash with the Patriots. In the opener, he played on 18 defensive snaps but did not record a stat.

  • Officially questionable for Week 3

    Jones (oblique) is questionable for Thursday's road game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones has been officially limited on all three of Miami's practice reports leading up to Thursday's contest, though two of those were merely estimated sessions. After having missed Week 2 due to an oblique injury suffered during the Dolphins' regular-season opener, Jones appears to be a candidate to retake the field versus Buffalo. His status may not be made official until 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, however.

  • Logs limited practice Tuesday

    Jones (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Jones missed Miami's Week 2 loss to New England due to an oblique injury that he suffered against Indianapolis in Week 1. He's opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, and depending on his practice participation Wednesday, he could be cleared to return Thursday against the Bills. Rookie first-rounder Kenneth Grant will continue to see additional snaps at defensive tackle for as long as Jones is sidelined.

  • Ruled out for Week 2

    Jones (oblique) won't play Sunday against the Patriots, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Friday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones was deemed week-to-week after getting hurt in this past Sunday's loss to the Colts, so it's no surprise that he'll miss at least one game due to his oblique injury. His next chance to play will come Thursday in a Week 3 trip to Buffalo. Rookie draft picks Kenneth Grant (first round) and Zeek Biggers (seventh round) could see more playing time at defensive tackle in Jones' absence.

  • Considered week-to-week

    Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Jones is considered week-to-week with an oblique injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Ole Miss product exited Sunday's loss to the Colts after sustaining an oblique injury, limiting him to just 23 total snaps (18 defensive and five on special teams). Jones was relatively unimpactful while on the field in Week 1, failing to record a stat prior to his exit. He likely needs to log at least one limited practice session throughout the week to have a chance of playing in Miami's Week 2 matchup against the Patriots.

  • Exits due to oblique injury

    Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to an oblique injury.

    Analysis: It's unclear when Jones suffered the injury, but he will be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's contest. Jordan Phillips and Kenneth Grant stand to see more rotational snaps at defensive tackle alongside Zach Sieler in Jones' absence.

  • Stays with Miami

    Jones re-signed with the Dolphins on Thursday.

    Analysis: The nose tackle played in all 17 regular-season games and started 15 for the Dolphins in 2024, making 24 tackles (nine solo). Jones, who originally signed with Miami as an undrafted free agent in 2020, also started 15 of 17 regular-season games for Detroit in 2023, recording 26 tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks. He should have a chance to compete for a starting job again in 2025.

  • Plays 17 games for Miami

    Jones racked up 24 tackles (nine solo) across 17 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2024.

    Analysis: Jones has now suited up for all 17 regular-season games for three straight years, including his inaugural campaign with Miami. Now slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Jones could look to catch on as a reliable rotational contributor on defense for another club.

  • Will play Sunday vs. Jets

    Jones (back) was a full participant in Friday's practice and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Jones suffered a back injury during the Dolphins' Week 13 loss to the Packers. He opened the week with limited practices, but he finished with a full practice Friday and is good to go for Sunday's AFC East showdown. Jones has logged nine tackles (three solo) over the seven regular-season games since the Dolphins' Week 7 bye.

  • Working through back injury

    Jones (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Jones suffered a back injury during the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers this past Sunday. Jones will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity this week, but if he's unable to play against the Jets on Sunday, Da'Shawn Hand and Neil Farrell would be in line for an uptick in defensive snaps.

Jones spent the last two years of his career with the Lions, appearing in 34 games (15 starts) and recording 38 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, while also defending two passes.

  • Back on COVID list

    The Dolphins placed Jones (illness) back on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Jones previously spent two days on the reserve/COVID-19 list late July, and he'll now once again be required to gain full medical clearance before rejoining teammates.

  • Cleared to play

    Jones (illness) has been cleared for football activities, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Jones only spent two days on the reserve/COVID-19 list before getting cleared. It appears he had just been potentially exposed to the virus rather than actually testing positive. He can now move forward and look to make an impression at training camp. The 22-year-old is looking to earn a role providing depth on the Dolphins' defensive line.
