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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

Jones was a full participant in practice Wednesday, 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. If the 28-year-old cannot suit up for any reason, Kenneth Grant will likely see a larger share of defensive snaps for the week.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.

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

EDGE 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.
