Waived with injury designation
The Falcons waived Jones (concussion) with an injury designation Monday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones was concussed after playing 12 offensive snaps in the Falcons' second preseason contest over the weekend. He'll revert to the Falcons' injured-reserve list once he clears waivers. Jones has complete six of 10 passes 65 yards this preseason, while rushing five times for 19 yards.

Enters after halftime Friday
Jones completed four of five pass attempts for 49 yards while taking two carries for nine yards in Friday's preseason tilt against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Easton Stick started the first half for the Falcons (15-18, 149 yards, TD) and outperformed Jones on a statistical basis. In the latter's defense, he only had a fraction of the interim starter's playing time after the game was suspended following three quarters of play. Jones is currently competing with Stick for the Falcons' third quarterback role behind Michael Penix and a disgruntled Kirk Cousins. The next opportunity for Jones to showcase his skills will come against Tennessee next Friday.

Set to split with Stick on Friday
Jones and Easton Stick will be Atlanta's available quarterbacks for Friday's preseason opener against the Lions, as Michael Penix and Kirk Cousins will be rested, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones went undrafted out of Cincinnati in 2024 and was on Atlanta's practice squad after signing with the team in December. He's the underdog against Stick in the competition for the third spot on the Falcons' quarterback depth chart, though it's possible the winner of the competition could eventually move up to the backup role given Cousins' desire to be traded.

ANALYSIS
Jones found work on the Falcons' practice squad in late December and will now remain in Atlanta after agreeing to a reserve/future contract Monday. The 24-year-old went undrafted in 2024 after throwing for 2,219 yards, 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his final collegiate season at Cincinnati.

Headed to Atlanta
The Falcons signed Jones to the practice squad Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones had been without a team for most of the 2024 season after failing to make the Ravens' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. McElhaney relays that Jones was added to the Falcons' practice squad to emulate Jayden Daniels on the scout team ahead of Atlanta's game against Washington on Sunday.

Dropped by Baltimore
Jones was waived by the Ravens on Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With the deadline for final roster cuts looming, Jones ultimately did not make the cut. He was competing with Devin Leary for the No. 3 role under center behind Lamar Jackson and Josh Johnson. It remains to be seen if the undrafted free agent will end up joing the Ravens' practice squad or find an opportunity elsewhere.
May 6, 2024

ANALYSIS
The quarterback tried out for the Ravens during the team's rookie minicamp May 4. Jones spent his final collegiate season at Cincinnati and finished with 2,219 yards, 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions to go along with 560 rushing yards and four scores.
