Jack Jones Injury News & Updates

Jones recorded eight tackles (three solo) in the Dolphins' loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Jones played all 73 defensive snaps as a starting outside cornerback for the Dolphins and also recorded one pass breakup. In a Miami secondary that has been stripped down by injuries and trades since the end of last season, Jones figures to be relied on for heavy snaps in 2025. His eight tackles were fourth-most on the team against the Colts.

Jones signed with the Dolphins on Saturday.

Jones stated 16 of 17 games last season with the Raiders and recorded 69 tackles (52 solo), 16 pass breakups and three interceptions, including a pick-six. He was waived in April but has finally found a new home where he can compete for a starting job immediately. Veteran corner Kader Kohou (leg) is expected to start in the slot, but the boundary cornerback spots are up for grabs among Jones, Storm Duck, Cam Smith and rookie fifth-round pick Jason Marshall.

The Raiders are releasing Jones, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jones will hit the open market after the Raiders recently made him available for trade, per Rapoport. The 2022 fourth-round pick started his career in New England before being traded to Las Vegas in November of 2023, and he appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the first time in his career last year. Jones put up career highs in tackles (69), passes defended (16) and interceptions (3) in 2024. In his absence, Decamerion Richardson and Eric Stokes should be first in line to fill Vegas' starting outside cornerback spots in 2025.

The Raiders are expected to trade or release Jones, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Jones worked as a starter throughout last season, posting career-high marks in tackles (69), pass defenses (16) and interceptions (three). He also recorded his fourth career touchdown on a pick-six in Week 9. However, he also drew some criticism about his perceived effort after missing multiple tackles in a game early in the campaign and has dealt with several off-the-field legal incidents both in college and as a pro. Jones has one year remaining on the four-year contract he signed with the Patriots as a rookie ahead of the 2022 campaign.

Jones finished the 2024 season with 69 total tackles (52 solo) and 16 passes defensed, including three interceptions, over 17 games.

Jones stepped into a starting role with the Raiders in 2024, securing a career-high 69 takedowns, while his 16 passes defensed and three interceptions marked the highest totals of his three-year NFL career as well. The cornerback was also able to return one of his interceptions for a touchdown in Week 9 versus the Bengals, notching the fourth score of his career. Jones still has one more year on his contract with Las Vegas and he'll look to take another step up in 2025.

Jones tallied three solo tackles and one interception in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

Jones picked off an errant pass in the end zone from Baker Mayfield, which prevented the Bucs from scoring on their final offensive drive of the first half. Through 13 regular-season games, Jones has logged 54 tackles (45 solo) and 11 pass defenses (including one interecption and a pick six).

Jones finished with seven solo tackles, including a tackle for a loss, and a pass defensed in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos.

The cornerback also played on all 65 defensive snaps, the 10th time in 11 games that he's played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps. Jones has 48 tackles (39 solo) and nine pass breakups, including an interception, on the year.

Jones (back) is active for Sunday's Week 12 battle against the Broncos.

Jones hurt his back last Sunday against Miami and logged a DNP/DNP/LP practice progression this week. Nonetheless, the cornerback will be able to suit up Sunday versus Denver. Through 10 games, Jones has tallied 41 tackles (32 solo) and eight pass defenses, including an interception that he returned for a touchdown.

Jones (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

Jones upgraded to limited participation in Friday's practice after logging DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, indicating he could be trending in the right direction ahead of the Week 12 divisional matchup. The Raiders will be without their top three corners if Jones cannot suit up Sunday, as both Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) and Nate Hobbs (ankle) have already been ruled out. Darnay Holmes, Decamerion Richardson and Sam Webb are all expected see expanded roles in Las Vegas' secondary.

Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters that Jones (back) won't practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Jones likely picked up a back injury in the Raiders' Week 11 loss to the Dolphins, despite playing 55 defensive snaps and recording seven total tackles. The Arizona State product likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bronocs.

Jones (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Jones suffered a back injury in the second half of Sunday's game . Fellow starting corner Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) has already been ruled out for the rest of the contest, meaning Decamerion Richardson and Darnay Holmes will be the Raiders' corners if Jones cannot return.

Jones finished Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Bengals with four solo tackles, two pass breakups and an interception that he returned 29 yards for a touchdown.

Jones logged his first interception of the regular season Sunday. He perfectly read a screen pass from Joe Burrow intended for Ja'Marr Chase early in the fourth quarter, which Jones returned for a 29-yard pick-six. Through the first nine games of the 2024 regular season, Jones has logged 34 tackles (26 solo), eight pass breakups and one pick six.

Jones (illness) was a full participant in practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

An illness kept Jones off the practice field Wednesday, but he was able to ramp up his activity over the following two days and he'll be good to go for Sunday's contest. The 2022 fourth-round pick has logged 23 tackles (17 solo) and five pass break ups through the first six games of the regular season.

Jones (illness) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session.

Jones didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, but he was able to return to practice Thursday and is trending in the right direction to play against the Rams on Sunday. Jones has accumulated 23 tackles (17 solo) and five pass breakups in six regular-season games, five of which he's played 50-plus defensive snaps.

Jones (illness) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

It's unclear when Jones began feeling under the weather, but the Raiders' next two injury reports should provide clarity on his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams. The 2022 second-round pick has registered 23 tackles (17 solo) and five pass breakups through the first six games of the regular season.

Jones totaled five tackles (four solo) and an interception that he returned for a touchdown in Monday's 20-14 victory against Kansas City.

Jones scored the second of two defensive touchdowns within a span of seven game seconds for the Raiders when he picked off a Patrick Mahomes pass and returned it 33 yards for a score in the second quarter. It was the third pick-six of the cornerback's career, two of which have come over the past two weeks. Jones has made a big impact since joining Las Vegas in mid-November, progressing to a near every-down role and tallying 20 tackles (17 solo) along with the pair of pick-sixes over four games.

Jones (knee) is active for Monday's game against the Chiefs.

Jones was added to the injury report Saturday after a limited practice, being officially listed as questionable, but he's ready to suit up on the road in Kansas City. The second-year cornerback has played 83 and 78 percent of defensive snaps in his last two appearances, both season-high marks.

Jones (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs.

The second-year cornerback out of Arizona State is coming off what was debatably the best game of his season in Week 15, but he popped up on the Raiders' injury report Saturday with a knee issue and his availability for Christmas day's contest is now up in the air. If Jones is unable to suit up Monday, Jakorian Bennett could be in for more work in Las Vegas' secondary.

Jones tallied five tackles (four solo) and returned an interception for a touchdown in Thursday's 63-21 rout of the Chargers.

Jones played every defensive snap for the Raiders for the first time since he signed with the team Nov. 14. The second-year cornerback made arguably the play of the game when he made a one-handed interception of an Easton Stick pass attempt in the fourth quarter and returned it 16 yards for a score. Jones has now logged a pick-six in each of his first two NFL campaigns.

Las Vegas claimed Jones off of waivers Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Just one day after being waived by New England, Jones has already found another opportunity with a new team. The Raiders' top corner in terms of snaps is currently 30-year-old Marcus Peters, so Jones could find his way onto the field sooner rather than later.

New England waived Jones on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Jones played just nine defensive snaps in the Patriots' loss against the Colts on Sunday, apparently losing his coaches' trust in favor of 2021 fifth-rounder Shaun Wade. He's shown flashes of stickiness in coverage when he's been able to stay on the field, so it would be surprising not to see him scooped up relatively soon after leaving New England.

Jones (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

The cornerback was activated from injured reserve Saturday and listed as questionable. Jones has yet to play in 2023. The 2022 fourth-round pick started two games last year and recorded 30 tackles, six passes defensed and two interceptions.

Jones (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Jones suffered a hamstring injury prior to the Patriots' season opener that's held him out thus far, and he's officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. The Arizona State product played a big role on New England's defense in 2022, recording 30 total tackles, six pass deflections and two interceptions (including one pick-six).

Jones (hamstring) took part in practice Tuesday and has been designated for return from injured reserve, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Jones' 21-day practice window now opens, putting him on track for his targeted late-October return. A hamstring injury suffered prior to New England's season-opener forced Jones to land on IR before suiting up for a single game, but he will now be eligible to play as early as Sunday versus the Bills, should the Patriots fully activate him ahead of the contest.

Jones is expected to miss at least two more weeks with a hamstring injury, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

New England placed Jones on injured reserve in early September after he suffered a hamstring injury leading up to the team's Week 1 game against Philadelphia. The 25-year-old was expected to miss about two months, so it's no surprise that the Patriots are hoping he'll return in roughly two weeks.

Jones (hamstring) was placed on the Patriots' injured reserve Saturday, Evan Lazar of the team's official website reports.

No surprise here, as Jones' hamstring injury was expected to keep him sidelined a couple weeks. His placement on IR means he will now have to sit out at least four weeks, so the earliest he can return is Week 5.

Jones (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Week 1 and is expected to be sidelined multiple games, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Given the expectation of multiple games missed, a trip to injured reserve is a possible outcome for Jones. When healthy, he is projected to provide depth at corner as well as contribute on special teams for New England.

Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's opener against the Eagles, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official website reports.

Jones was limited Wednesday but downgraded to DNP for Thursday's practice and needs further testing on the injured hammy. Marcus Jones and Shaun Wade will need to pick up the slack behind first-round rookie Christian Gonzalez and Jonathan Jones at cornerback.

Jones (hamstring) was unable to practice Thursday or Friday and is scheduled to undergo additional testing, putting his status for Sunday's season opener against the Eagles in doubt, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Coach Bill Belichick was optimistic about Jones' availability Wednesday, but he acknowledged Friday that those expectations have changed with Jones unable to practice the past two days and set for follow-up tests on the hamstring injury he suffered Wednesday. Jones had also been dealing with gun charges stemming from an arrest in June, but those were dropped Tuesday and aren't expected to affect the cornerback's availability.

Jones should play Sunday, according to head coach Bill Belichick, Mike Kadlick reports.

Jones' status was in question due to gun charges he was facing from a mid-June incident. However, with those charges officially dropped on Tuesday, the second-year pro is expected to take the field Week 1 against the Eagles.

Jones, who was arrested in mid-June while carrying two firearms, had all charges dropped by the Suffolk County District Attorney on Tuesday, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports.

Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Jones agreed to serve 40 hours of community service with inner-city youth for the charges to be dropped. The Patriots won't release an official statement Tuesday, but head coach Bill Belichick is scheduled to speak with the media Wednesday. Earlier in training camp, Belichick said Jones, who recorded 30 tackles and two interceptions as a rookie in 2022, would be competing for a starting role after the addition of first-round pick Christian Gonzalez.

Jones is slated to practice with the Patriots at the start of training camp, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

"Jack will be out there," coach Bill Belichick noted of the cornerback, who last month pleaded not guilty to gun charges stemming from a June incident at Boston's Logan Airport. "It's a legal situation that I can't comment on that is ongoing," Belichick added. The 2022 fourth-rounder -- who recorded 30 tackles and two interception in 13 games last year -- is expected to compete for a starting role in his second NFL campaign.

Jones was arrested Friday after two firearms were found in his travel luggage at Logan International Airport in Boston, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The Patriots announced in a statement that they are aware of the 25-year-old's arrest and are in the process of gathering more information surrounding the incident. Jones, a 2022 fourth-round pick out of Arizona State, is scheduled for arraignment next week in East Boston District Court and faces charges of possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of the airport, possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm and possession of a large-capacity feeding device. As a rookie last season, the cornerback played in 13 games (two starts) and tallied 30 tackles, two interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Jones has fully recovered from his knee injury, Chris Mason of MassLive reports.

Jones is now fully healthy after suffering a bone bruise in his right knee back in December. The 25-year-old logged 30 tackles (25 solo) and two interceptions in 13 games last season and will now compete for playing time in what's become a crowded secondary.

The Patriots ended the team-imposed suspension for Jones (knee) on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jones will now move from the reserve/suspended list back to IR following this suspension for a violation of team rules. The rookie cornerback is still recovering from a bone bruise in his left knee sustained Week 14. Jones will now look to get healthy again heading into the offseason after New England was eliminated from playoff contention following Sunday's 35-23 loss to Buffalo.

Jones (knee) has been moved from IR to reserve/suspended by the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Jones' suspension stems from a violation of team rules, while Mike Garafolo of NFL Network relays that the cornerback's agent suggests that the suspension "appears to be based on miscommunication regarding (Jones') rehab process."
