Emery Jones Jr. Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Steelers vs Ravens game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 22, 2025
Officially activated
Jones (shoulder) was activated from the reserve/non-football injury list, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones has been sidelined while recovering from shoulder surgery that he suffered while preparing for the 2025 NFL draft. He has been practicing for all of October and has the chance to be active for a Week 8 matchup against the Bears.
Oct 20, 2025
Will be activated from NFI
The Ravens will activate Jones (shoulder) from the reserve/non-football injury list this week, but Jones will not play Week 8 against the Bears, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones is being activated because his 21-day practice window closes this week. He's not yet been cleared to play following shoulder surgery back in March.
Oct 10, 2025
Ruled out for Week 6
Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
The third-round rookie remains on the non-football injury list but was designated for return nine days ago. He has 12 more days to be activated, or Jones would need to miss the entirety of the 2025 campaign. The Ravens have a Week 7 bye, so a debut the following week would make sense for Jones.
Oct 3, 2025
Won't play in Week 5
Jones (shoulder) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Despite being a full participant at practice Friday, Jones will spend at least one more week recovering from shoulder surgery before making his NFL debut. It seems like he should have good odds of suiting up for his first game come Week 6 versus the Rams.
Oct 1, 2025
Designated to return
Jones (shoulder) was designated to return from the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones has missed Baltimore's first four games after undergoing shoulder surgery one week after the NFL Combine, but his participation in practice Wednesday suggests a return is near. The 2025 third-round pick from LSU will likely serve as one of the Ravens' top reserve offensive linemen when healthy. He now has 21 days to be added to the active roster before reverting to the reserve/non-football injury list.

Lands on NFI list
Jones (shoulder) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones underwent shoulder surgery a week after the NFL Combine, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. The rookie third-round pick out of LSU is now guaranteed to miss the first four games of the season. Daniel Faalele is expected to start at right guard to begin the season, and it's unclear if Jones will usurp him upon return.

Likely to miss opener
Jones (shoulder) is not expected to be ready in time for Baltimore's season opener Sept. 7 at Buffalo, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The offensive guard missed OTAs after shoulder surgery and has yet to take the field during training camp. Jones was expected to compete for the starting right guard spot after going in the third round of April's draft, but now that position appears to belong to Daniel Faalele. It's possible that Jones could push Faalele upon his return, but his timetable for getting on the field remains unclear.
Jul 16, 2025
Placed on NFI list
The Ravens placed Jones (shoulder) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones still hasn't recovered from shoulder surgery he underwent and will now be forced to miss the start of training camp. The rookie third-round pick was expected to compete for the team's starting right guard job but now that is unlikely to be the case as his status for the start of the regular season is now up in the air.
Jun 18, 2025
Looking unlikely for start of camp
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday he's "hopeful" that Jones (shoulder) will retake the field "at some point" during training camp, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones has missed spring activities due to a shoulder injury, and with Harbaugh declining to fully commit even to him being ready at some point during training camp, it seems doubtful that he'll be a Day 1 participant. The rookie third-rounder is expected to compete for snaps at right guard when healthy, but his Year 1 development could be significantly impeded if his first appearance at practice doesn't come until late in training camp or the preseason.

Dealing with shoulder injury
Jones may not take part in practice until training camp due to a shoulder injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones was a third-round selection by the Ravens in April's NFL Draft. The LSU product's injury doesn't appear likely to sideline him for any regular-season games, but it could delay his offseason program to some extent. If he's healthy for training camp, Jones will likely be competing for snaps at right guard.

Ravens add big Round 3 blocker
The Ravens selected Jones in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 91st overall.
ANALYSIS
Jones (6-foot-5, 315 pounds) could prove to be yet another shrewd pick by Baltimore. Jones probably won't stick at right tackle, where he was a standout three-year starter for LSU, but at guard, Jones' game should project fine at the next level. Jones is only 21 years old despite starting three years, so he might need some development time, but Jones should push the likes of Daniel Faalele for snaps sooner rather than later.
