Jonathan Jones Injury News & Updates
Nov 14, 2025
Recovered from groin injury
Jones (groin) isn't listed on Washington's injury report for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Jones sustained a groin injury during Washington's Week 10 loss to the Lions, but he has recovered in time to suit up Sunday against the Dolphins in Madrid. He has started only one game in 2025 but is likely to make a second start Sunday since Marshon Lattimore (knee) and Trey Amos (lower leg) are both on IR.
Nov 9, 2025
Exits game with groin injury
Jones (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Jones has been taken to the locker room, where medical staff will evaluate his groin injury to determine whether he can return. Trey Amos (ankle) has already been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game, so Antonio Hamilton, Mike Sainristil and Noah Igbinoghene will be the Commanders' top corners if Jones is not cleared to return.
Oct 19, 2025
Playing Sunday
Jones (hamstring) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Jones will make his return to action after missing four weeks while on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. The cornerback will provide the team with some much-needed help in the secondary while Washington faces off with the likes of Ceedee Lamb, George Pickens and Jake Ferguson in Week 7.
Oct 18, 2025
Activated from IR
The Commanders activated Jones (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Jones sustained a hamstring injury during the Commanders' Week 2 loss to the Packers, which was severe enough for him to necessitate a stint on injured reserve. He was a full participant in practice all week, but his activation from IR indicates that he is on track to play Week 7. Jones would serve on special teams and in a reserve role at corner should he be cleared to play Sunday.
Oct 17, 2025
Designated as questionable
Jones (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Dallas, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones has missed the Commanders' last four games due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 2 at Green Bay, but there's a chance he could return in Week 7 after participating fully at practice during the week. Whenever he returns, his primary hurdle to snaps at cornerback may be rookie second-rounder Trey Amos.
Oct 15, 2025
Logs full practice in return
Jones (hamstring) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's estimated practice report.
ANALYSIS
Jones' 21-day window to return to injured reserve Wednesday, and he participated in the walkthrough session without limitations. He'll have to log full practices over the next two days to have a realistic chance of being reinstated from IR ahead of Sunday's NFC East clash against the Cowboys.
Oct 15, 2025
Practice window opens
The Commanders designated Jones (hamstring) to return to practice from IR on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jones now has a 21-day window to be evaluated at practice without counting against the 53-man roster, within which Washington can activate him from IR at any time. Once fully recovered from the hamstring injury he sustained Week 2 against the Packers, Jones is expected to resume contributing on special teams and in a depth role on defense. If he's able to resume practicing in full immediately, he could return to action as early as Sunday versus the Cowboys.
Sep 17, 2025
Moves to IR
Jones (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jones sustained a hamstring injury during the Commanders' Week 2 loss to the Packers, and the issue now appears serious enough to land him on IR. The Auburn product has played 41 total snaps (20 defensive and 21 on special teams) so far this season, recording two total tackles. In his stead, Noah Igbinoghene is expected to serve as Washington's top reserve corner.
Sep 11, 2025
Questionable to return Thursday
Jones (hamstring) is questionable to return to Thursday's contest against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Jones appears to have suffered a hamstring injury in the second half versus Green Bay, causing his status for the rest of the game to be up in the air. In his absence, Noah Igbinoghene stands to see an increase in workload at cornerback.
Sep 5, 2025
Back to full health
Jones (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old cornerback rested during Friday's practice after recording limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Jones, a nine-year NFL veteran, logged 58 total tackles, six passes defended and two forced fumbles for the Patriots in 2024. He's expected to provide depth to the Commanders' secondary this season, likely playing behind Trey Amos and Marshon Lattimore.
Sep 4, 2025
Logs limited practice Thursday
Jones (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Jones is working through a hamstring injury, which has limited his participation in each of the first two practices of the week. He would avoid an injury tag heading into Week 1 against the Giants on Sunday were he to log a full practice Friday. Jones signed a one-year contract with the Commanders in March after spending the first nine years of his NFL career with the Patriots, and the veteran is expected to serve in a rotational role with Trey Amos, Marshon Lattimore and Mike Sainristil at corner.
Sep 3, 2025
Dealing with hamstring injury
Jones (hamstring) was a limited participant at the Commanders' practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jones appeared on Wednesday's initial injury report ahead of Week 1, dealing with an apparent hamstring injury. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to practice in a full capacity prior to Sunday's regular-season opener against the Giants.
Mar 12, 2025
Heading to Washington
The Commanders signed Jones to a one-year contract Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones has only played for the Patriots since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2016, and he played a pivotal role on New England's defense during its two Super Bowl victories. The 31-year-old corner out of Auburn gives the Commanders a veteran one-two punch at outside corner opposite Marshon Lattimore. Jones played in all 17 regular-season games for the Patriots in 2024 and finished with 58 tackles (41 solo), six pass defenses and two forced fumbles.
Mar 9, 2025
Expected to hit free agency
Jones is expected to hit free agency Monday, despite mutual interest in a return to New England, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones has spent the first nine seasons of his NFL career in New England, but he could be heading elsewhere in 2025. The cornerback compiled 58 total tackles (41 solo), six passes defensed and two forced fumbles over 17 regular-season games last season.
Jan 13, 2025
Fails to haul in INT in 2024
Jones played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 58 tackles (41 solo), six pass defenses and two forced fumbles.
ANALYSIS
Jones tied with Marcus Jones (hip) for third-most tackles on the Patriots' secondary behind Kyle Dugger (81) and Christian Gonzalez (59). Jones has spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the Patriots since signing as an undrafted free agent in May of 2016. He enters the offseason as a free agent, and whether he stays in New England will depend on the vision of incoming head coach Mike Vrabel.
Sep 20, 2024
Logs seven tackles vs. Jets
Jones tallied seven tackles (five solo), one pass defended and one forced fumble in Thursday's 24-3 loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Jones trailed Raekwon McMillan (10) and Jahlani Tavai (nine) in the tackling category for the Patriots on Thursday. Jones has accrued 18 combined tackles through the first three games of the regular season, 15 of which have come in the last two weeks.
Sep 16, 2024
Leading tackler in loss
Jones logged eight tackles (six solo) in the Patriots' 23-20 overtime loss Sunday versus the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
ones' eight tackles were tied for most on the team with Kyle Dugger. Jones will look to build on this strong performance and add to his totals when New England takes on the Jets next week.
Feb 15, 2024
Reliable again across 14 starts
Jones racked up 48 tackles (40 solo) and seven pass breakups across 14 regular-season appearances with the Patriots in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Jones didn't record an interception in 2023, but when on the field he was once again one of New England's post reliable assets in the secondary. Now heading into his age-31 season, and the final season of the two-year, $19 million contract he inked with the Patriots last offseason, Jones can safely be considered to once again play a key role for the 2024 campaign, especially given his ability to contribute at both cornerback and safety.
Oct 22, 2023
Active Sunday
Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback was listed as questionable after missing practice early in the week and participating on a limited basis Thursday and Friday. Jones returned from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury in Week 5 against the Saints but then injured his knee a week later. The eighth-year pro has started all three games he's been available to play in.
Oct 20, 2023
Considered questionable
Jones (knee) has drawn a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bills, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out to start the week, Jones practiced in limited fashion Thursday and Friday. Thus, he is looking like a true game-time decision. His final status will presumably be determined Sunday morning after he tests out his knee.
Oct 19, 2023
Practices Thursday
Jones (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The starting cornerback missed practice Wednesday after suffering a knee injury during the Patriots' Week 6 loss to the Raiders. Jones will likely need to practice again Friday to have a chance to play in Week 7 against the Bills.
Oct 18, 2023
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Jones (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
After sustaining a knee injury during Sunday's loss at Las Vegas, Jones opened New England's week of practice as a non-participant. He'll probably need to return to the practice field Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to play in Week 7 versus Buffalo.
Oct 15, 2023
Questionable to return
Jones (knee) is questionable to return to New England's game against the Raiders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Jones exited the game with a knee injury and has been replaced by Shaun Wade. If Jones is unable to return to the field, the Patriots will rely on Myles Bryant and Wade to try and slow down Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers for the remainder of the game.
Oct 15, 2023
Will play Sunday
Jones (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Jones was able to play through the ankle injury in Week 5 against the Saints. His presence is much needed for the Patriots' secondary after rookie Christian Gonzalez was placed on injured reserve after sustaining a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 4 against the Cowboys. Jones has five tackles and a pass deflection in two games this season.
Oct 13, 2023
Questionable for Week 6
Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Jones was able to play through his ankle injury in Week 5 versus New Orleans, so it would be somewhat surprising to see him sit out in Week 6. If he plays, he'll be one of New England's top two corners Sunday.
Oct 8, 2023
Active Sunday
Jones (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback missed the Patriots' last three games with an ankle injury. Jones was a limited participant in practice Wednesday before being listed as questionable Friday. The eighth-year pro has 17 starts since the beginning of the 2022 season.
Oct 6, 2023
Questionable for Sunday vs. Saints
Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus New Orleans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Bill Belichick said Friday that "he's got a chance" to suit up in Week 5, a signal Jones is close to returning from his three-week absence due to a lingering ankle injury. If he's still not healthy enough to come back though, New England will be desperately thin at corner Sunday.
Oct 4, 2023
Still limited at practice Wednesday
Jones (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones has missed New England's last three games with a lingering ankle issue, and he still hasn't shed that entirely as of the Patriots' first practice of Week 5. He'll probably need to practice in full Thursday or Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into this weekend.
Sep 30, 2023
Downgraded to out
Jones (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Jones originally drew a questionable tag, but the Patriots are going to err on the side of caution. The absence will mark his third straight since injuring his ankle in the season-opener. As a result, Jalen Mills and Myles Bryant figure to again be in line for increased snaps.
Sep 29, 2023
Draws questionable tag
Jones (ankle) is considered questionable ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Jones was a limited participant at Friday's practice, and it appears he will be a true game-time decision Sunday. He is looking to return from a two-game absence. Jalen Mills and Myles Bryant would likely again be in line for increased workloads should he ultimately be unavailabe.
Sep 27, 2023
Takes the field
Jones (ankle) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jones hasn't played since Week 1 against the Eagles, but he's at least been able to log limited practices as he works his way back to full health. He'll work to ramp up his activity level by Friday, with the intention of suiting up Sunday against the Cowboys.
Sep 23, 2023
Out for Week 3
Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Jones was sidelined for Week 2 against the Dolphins after popping up on the Patriots' injury report on Sept. 14. Rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez is set to take on primary coverage on wide receiver Garrett Wilson, with Jalen Mills and Shaun Wade expected to see increased workloads with Jones out.
Sep 22, 2023
Draws questionable tag
Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against against the Jets, Chris Jones of Masslive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones is attempting to return from a one-game absence. His status Sunday will likely depend on his pain tolerance in regards to his ankle. If he cannot go, Shaun Wade and Jalen Mills are candidates to see increased workloads.
Sep 20, 2023
Returns to practice
Jones (ankle) was able to log a limited practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jones was a DNP in practice Friday and ultimately didn't suit up for the team's loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. His return to the field is good news for his prospects of suiting up Week 3, although far from guarantees he'll play against the Jets.
Sep 17, 2023
Unavailable for Week 2
Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for the Patriots' matchup with the Dolphins on Sunday Night Football.
ANALYSIS
Jones missed practice Friday with an ankle injury and he will now be forced to miss New England's Week 2 contest. Marcus Jones could step into a starting role at cornerback in his absence.
Sep 15, 2023
Gets questionable tag for Sunday
Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Miami.
ANALYSIS
After missing practice Friday, Jones appears to be on the doubtful end of the questionable designation for Week 2. His absence would represent a major blow, considering he's probably New England's corner best-suited to covering either of Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle. If he does in fact sit out, 2022 third-rounder Marcus Jones would be a good candidate to start Sunday.
Sep 15, 2023
Battling ankle injury ahead of SNF
Jones (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones was added to the injury report Thursday after a limited practice, and the starting cornerback could be in danger of sitting out Sunday night's game against the Dolphins. If Jones is unable to suit up, the tall task of slowing down standout wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will get even tougher for New England.
Sep 14, 2023
On injury report Thursday
Jones (ankle) was a Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston at practice Thursday ahead of Sunday's game versus Miami, Phil Perry reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear whether he's actually at any risk of missing game action in Week 2, so it will be worth watching the Friday injury report for further clarity. New England is hoping for a big leg up from their speedy corner Sunday across from Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Sep 6, 2023
Not on injury report Wednesday
Jones (undisclosed) was absent from New England's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
As expected, it looks like he'll be ready to go for Week 1 versus the Eagles. It's a good thing too for the Patriots' defense as they prepare to square off against one of the scariest wide receiver duos in the league in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
Aug 27, 2023
Returns to practice
Jones, who has been out since Aug. 4 with an undisclosed injury, returned to practice Sunday as a limited participant, Zach Cox of NESN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Speaking with reporters after practice, Jones didn't provide any details about his injury but reiterated that he hopes to be ready for the Patriots' season opener against the Eagles on Sept. 10. Jones signed a two-year, $19 million extension in March and is set to start opposite 2023 first-round pick Christian Gonzales.
Aug 18, 2023
Should be ready for Week 1
Jones (undisclosed) is expected to be ready for New England's regular-season opener against the Eagles, Karen Guregian of The Springfield Republican reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury since Aug. 4, but the Patriots don't appear concerned about his Week 1 availability. The team will likely continue being cautious with the veteran cornerback for the remainder of the preseason, though, given his importance to the secondary. Rookie first-round pick across Christian Gonzalez is set to join Jones as a starter.
Mar 13, 2023
Agrees to new deal with Pats
Jones and the Patriots are in agreement on a two-year contract, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After the Patriots decided not to franchise tag Jones last week, the team and the cornerback are set to keep Jones in town for a couple more seasons. The 29-year-old played in 16 games last season, recording a career-high four interceptions, 11 pass deflections and three forced fumbles while also recording 69 tackles. Jones has quickly blossomed into being one of the league's best at his position and the Patriots are certainly satisfied to have secured him moving forward.
Mar 7, 2023
Set for free agency
New England will not apply the franchise tag to Jones ahead of Tuesday's deadline, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones put together a career year in 2022, as he led the Patriots in interceptions (four), pass deflections (11) and forced fumbles (three) while racking up 69 tackles (56 solo). The 29-year-old formed undrafted free agent has proven his ability to handle an every-down role at cornerback, and at a high level, which sets him up well to earn a sizeable contract on the open market, though New England reportedly still has interest in re-signing him.
Jan 18, 2023
Career Year
Jones recorded 69 tackles (56 solo), four interceptions and scored a touchdown while playing in 16 games during the 2022 season.
ANALYSIS
Jones had the best season of his career, as he led the team in interceptions, pass deflections and forced fumbles all of which were new career highs for him. An unrestricted free agent this offseason, the 2016 undrafted free agent has earned himself a pay day from either the Patriots or another team.
Jan 8, 2023
Good to go Sunday
Jones (chest) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Jones logged a trio of capped practices earlier this week as a result of an apparent chest injury, but it's since been revealed that he'll suit up and command his usual every-down cornerback role in Week 18 versus Buffalo. The 29-year-old currently needs 11 more tackles to tie his previous career high in that department.
Jan 6, 2023
Could miss Week 18
Jones (chest) is considered questionable to play Sunday against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Jones popped up with a chest injury Wednesday that left him limited for each practice ahead of this crucial Week 18 matchup. The nature and severity of this issue are still unknown, so it will be worth monitoring his status on New England's final inactives list released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 pm E.T. kickoff. With fellow starting cornerback Jalen Mills (groin) also questionable to play, the Patriots could once again have to rely on Marcus Jones and Myles Bryant to play significant roles against Buffalo's premier passing attack.
Dec 26, 2022
Eight stops in loss
Jones recorded eight solo tackles in Sunday's 22-18 defeat versus Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Jones tied his season high for tackles while also logging a season-high 78 defensive snaps against the Bengals. The 24-year-old also played every defensive snap of the fourth game in a row in New England's depleted secondary. Should starter Jalen Mills (groin) remain sidelined Week 17 versus Miami, then Jones should continue to serve as one of the Patriots' top cornerbacks.
Dec 20, 2022
Registers six stops Sunday
Jones finished Sunday's Week 15 loss to Las Vegas with six tackles (five solo).
ANALYSIS
Jones didn't put up gaudy defensive stats, but he did help keep Davante Adams (four catches, 28 yards) under control. Jones has played every defensive snap for the Patriots over the past three weeks, though he has recorded a modest 18 tackles over that span.
Dec 5, 2022
Notches eight stops
Jones recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Thursday's 24-10 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Jones' eight tackles in Week 13 accounts for his new season high in that department, and the same can be said about his 72 defensive snaps played in the contest. The 29-year-old is piecing together his most productive NFL campaign though his first seven years in the league, and he should continue operating as New England's No. 1 cornerback next Monday night in Arizona.
Nov 28, 2022
Season-high seven tackles in loss
Jones tallied seven tackles (six solo), an interception and three pass defenses during the Patriots' 33-26 loss to Minnesota on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jones was held under five tackles in eight of his first nine appearances of the season, but he racked up a season-high seven tackles while recording his third interception of the year Thursday. He now has 33 tackles (27 solo), three interceptions, two forced fumbles, a touchdown and eight pass defenses over his first 10 outings in 2022.
Nov 18, 2022
Set to play Week 11
Jones (illness) was listed as a full participant during practice Friday and does not carry a game status for Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Jones was sidelined with an illness during practice Thursday, but he'll be good to go Week 11 after logging a full session Friday. Expect the 29-year-old to maintain a prominent role in New England's secondary against the Jets on Sunday.
Nov 17, 2022
Sits out practice
Jones (illness) was a non-participant in practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones' late week addition to the injury report isn't typically a good sign, however the veteran corner still has until Sunday to recover from his illness. If he is unable to go Week 11 against the Jets, Jack Jones and Myles Bryant will see an uptick in snaps.
Oct 24, 2022
Returning to action
Jones (ankle) is active Monday against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Jones missed the team's Week 6 game with the Browns after suffering an ankle injury Week 5 against the Lions. He should start at corner opposite Jalen Mills.
Oct 15, 2022
Won't play at Cleveland
Jones (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Jones was forced out of New England's win versus Detroit in Week 5 early with an ankle injury, and he'll now have to miss his first game this season. Until he's ready to play again, rookie fourth-rounder Jack Jones should see more reps on the boundaries.
Oct 9, 2022
Questionable to return Sunday
Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Jones recorded four tackles and an interception before leaving the game in the second half due to an ankle injury. In his absence, Jack Jones and Marcus Jones are candidates for increased snaps moving forward.
Aug 1, 2022
Removed from PUP list
Jones (shoulder) is practicing Monday, indicating that he has been removed from the active/PUP list, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones appears to be fully recovered from October shoulder surgery. He missed less than two weeks of training camp before gaining clearance to practice.
Jul 21, 2022
Won't be available to practice
Jones (shoulder) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Patriots on Thursday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones was a full participant during the first day of New England's voluntary OTAs in May, but he appears to still be working his way back from shoulder surgery undergone in October. The defensive back can be activated off this list at any time before the start of the regular season, but he will be unable to practice in training camp until then. Jones played 212 defensive snaps before suffering his shoulder injury last season and he should fill a prominent role at cornerback for New England in 2022.
May 23, 2022
Full go during Day 1 of OTAs
Jones (shoulder) was a full participant during Day 1 of New England's OTAs on Monday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in October and has been able to participate during the Patriots' voluntary offseason workouts in a limited fashion. However, Monday was the first time the veteran defensive back was able to fully participate in a practice since his surgery. Prior to his injury, Jones posted 20 tackles and one interception across six games and was a key member of the Patriots' secondary. If healthy, he figures to garner a similar role in 2022.
May 19, 2022
Back on the field
Jones (shoulder) was on the field during the Patriots' voluntary offseason workouts this week, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in October but has been progressing well. A more formal update on his health should be available during OTAs, which begin in late May. Prior to going down, Jones posted 20 tackles and one interceptions across six games and was a key member of the Patriots' secondary.
Mar 3, 2022
Bouncing back from shoulder injury
Jones, who underwent season-ending shoulder surgery last October, is progressing well, per Michael Giardi of NFL Network.
ANALYSIS
The report notes that the expectation is Jones will be able to work fully this offseason. Prior to his injury, Jones recorded 20 tackles and a pick in six games. The 28-year-old is under contract with New England through the 2022 season and now that he's moving past his shoulder woes, Jones is on track to reprise his duties as the team's primary slot cornerback.
Oct 25, 2021
Set for season-ending surgery
Jones (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones was placed on injured reserve after he recently sustained a shoulder injury, and the issue will force him to miss the remainder of the season. The 28-year-old recorded 20 tackles (15 solo), an interception and three pass defenses in 2021.
Oct 23, 2021
Lands on IR
Jones was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones was ruled out for Week 7 on Friday, but he will now miss at least three weeks with the move to injured reserve. Joejuan Williams will likely see an increased role during Jones' absence.
Oct 23, 2021
Won't play Sunday
Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones was unable to practice due to his shoulder injury Friday, and the issue will keep him off the field in Week 7. Joejuan Williams should see an increased snap count against the Jets.
Oct 17, 2021
Returns quickly
Jones has already returned to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Apparently, he has overcome the pain that sent him to the locker room. He'll resume his role in the New England secondary.
Oct 17, 2021
Leaves with rib injury
Jones went to the locker room with a rib injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Dallas, Jori Epstein of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones was bent over on the field for a few minutes before heading to the locker room, where he was reported to be in a lot of pain. This leaves the Patriots very thin in the secondary as a number of their corners came into the game inactive for various reasons. Justin Bethel usually only sees special teams work but is now in line for extra snaps.
Sep 8, 2021
Off injured list
Jones (undisclosed) isn't listed on the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jones injured himself in a joint practice with the Giants but he is now off the injury list and is expected to play in New England's season opener against the Dolphins. The Patriots don't have much depth at cornerback this season, so Jones' health could end up being crucial for the teams' secondary.
Aug 27, 2021
Suffers minor injury Thursday
Jones (undisclosed) suffered a minor injury during Thursday's joint practice with the Giants, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones finished the 2020 campaign with 74 tackles and two interceptions in 16 games, and he is expected to be a key cog in the team's secondary this season. The 27-year-old's health is important for the Patriots as they already have a thin cornerback group, and they recently tried to remedy that issue by trading for fifth-round pick Shaun Wade.
Jan 14, 2021
Notches 74 tackles in 2020
Jones finished the 2020 season with a career-high 74 tackles and two interceptions in 16 games.
ANALYSIS
With Jones under contract with New England through the 2022 campaign, the 27-year old will continue to be a key cog in the team's secondary next season. In that capacity, the Auburn product will merit attention in deeper IDP formats.
Dec 10, 2020
Ready to rock
Jones (neck) is officially active for Thursday's game versus the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Jones came into the game as a game-time call after missing last week's game against the Chargers with the neck issue, but his addition will be a boost to the secondary. Jones will likely handle his usual depth role in the secondary, as he's spent time on defense and on special teams this season.
Dec 9, 2020
Game-time call Thursday
Jones (neck) was listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones was forced out of last week's win over the Chargers with the neck issue, as he logged limited practice time throughout the week. It appears Jones is trending as a true game-time decision for the game, as his status won't be known until an hour and a half prior to kickoff. If he's forced to sit, Jason McCourty and Myles Bryant would be in line for more snaps at cornerback for the contest.

Limited on Monday
Jones (neck) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.
ANALYSIS
Jones suffered this injury during this past Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers. He was one of 14 players to be listed as LP on the practice estimate. His status should become more clear as the week progresses, and he'll aim to recover quickly with a Thursday night game against the Rams on the horizon.
Dec 6, 2020
Departs with neck injury
Jones was forced out of Sunday's game against the Chargers with a neck injury.
ANALYSIS
Jones made one tackle before leaving the game. Jason McCourty likely will absorb the reps left behind by Jones, but Myles Bryant could handle increased duties as well.
Jan 4, 2020
Ready to play Saturday
Jones (groin) is officially active for Saturday's game against the Titans
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was considered questionable after working as a limited practice participant this week, but he's good to play in Saturday's playoff matchup. Jones could see increased snaps with Jason McCourty (groin) sidelined versus Tennessee.
Jan 2, 2020
Officially questionable
Jones (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff tilt against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Jones logged a trio of limited practices this week, a good sign for his chances of suiting up to host the Titans on Saturday. With Jason McCourty (groin) also listed as questionable, Jones could tentatively have the opportunity for increased snaps come game time.
Dec 29, 2019
Ready to roll
Jones (groin) is officially active for Sunday's divisional matchup versus Miami.
ANALYSIS
Jones missed last week's game while tending to the groin issue, and after suiting up in a limited fashion for practice this week, has shaken off the injury. The Auburn product could see a slight uptick in snaps with fellow cornerback Jason McCourty (groin) deemed inactive for the contest.
Dec 27, 2019
Could play Week 17
Jones (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Jones missed last Saturday's win over the Bills due to the groin injury, but he was able to return to practice as a limited participant this week. J.C. Jackson would likely play an expanded role should Jones again be sidelined.
Dec 19, 2019
Won't face Bills
Jones (groin) is ruled out for Saturday's divisional contest against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Jones didn't practice in any capacity this week, and he'll now miss his first game of the season. J.C. Jackson will likely play a starting role in the Patriots' secondary as long as Jones remains sidelined.
Dec 19, 2019
Trending in wrong direction
Jones (groin) was not spotted at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media and is not expected to be available for Saturday's tilt against the Bills, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones appears set to be listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, which would mark his third straight missed practice of the week. If the four-year pro is indeed forced to miss the first game of his career, expect J.C. Jackson to play a starting role in New England's secondary Week 16.
Dec 18, 2019
DNP for consecutive practices
Jones (groin) missed a second straight practice Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of The Springfield Republican reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones will need to practice in some capacity to have a shot at playing Saturday versus the Bills, but at this point, he's certainly trending in the wrong direction. Should Jones miss the first game of his four-year career, J.C. Jackson would likely bump into a starting role.
Dec 15, 2019
Sustains groin injury
Jones exited Sunday's game against the Bengals with a groin injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones started this contest since Jason McCourty (groin) was inactive. The Patriots will have a shortened week, playing Saturday against the Bills, so it's worth keeping an eye on Jones and McCourty throughout the practice week ahead of a crucial divisional showdown.
