Jones will start for DeShon Elliott (ankle) at strong safety Sunday against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has mostly contributed on special teams this season, but he should see a significant workload Sunday against the Bills. The fourth-year pro has plenty of starting experience in his previous three seasons with the Dolphins, so he's no stranger to the role.

Jones (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has worked his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 7 last season. He's set to start at strong safety next to Jevon Holland for a Dolphins' secondary that will be without star corner Jalen Ramsey to start the season.

Jones (knee) continues to increase his participation in training camp practices, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The safety suited up for the Dolphins in a joint practice with the Falcons on Tuesday. Jones started all seven games he played in last season before tearing his ACL and missing the rest of the year. The 2020 third-round pick is penciled in as Miami's strong safety as Week 1 approaches.

Jones (knee) wasn't placed on the active/PUP list, which means he is eligible to practice right away in Miami's training camp, the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is recovering from a season-ending torn ACL he suffered in October. Since he wasn't placed on the PUP list, Miami expects Jones to begin practicing imminently.

Jones (knee) was seen running off to the side at Tuesday's OTAs practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones suffered a torn ACL in Week 7 of last season and is roughly seven months removed from the injury. He's still in the midst of his rehab and likely won't be cleared until sometime during training camp. The 2020 third-round pick will be the starter next to Jevon Holland at the safety spots for the Dolphins. Jones has eight career sacks, three forced fumbles, and one interception.

Jones (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is done for the season after suffering an ACL injury in the Dolphins' Week 7 win over the Steelers. He'll now shift his focus toward being ready for the 2023 campaign. In the 24-year-old's absence, Eric Rowe will take over at starting strong safety.

Miami placed Jones (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Jones lands on IR due to what appears to be a significant injury and will be sidelined for at least four games, though he'll likely be held out even longer. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel refrained from calling the issue season ending, but it does sound like that could be a possibility. In his absence, Eric Rowe will likely see an increased role next to Jevon Holland in Miami's secondary.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Jones (knee) will be placed on injured reserve, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move isn't official yet, but it appears like Jones is headed for injured reserve. McDaniel refrained from calling Jones' knee injury season ending, but he did say it didn't look good. Once he's moved to IR, he'll be forced to miss at least four games, but it sounds like he could be sidelined even longer.

Jones (knee) is set to have an MRI on Monday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
After exiting Sunday's victory over the Steelers early, Jones will receive additional imaging Monday to determine the severity of the knee injury he suffered in the contest. The safety appears likely to miss some game action moving forward, but more clarity will be provided to his status following the MRI. If Jones is forced to miss time, Eric Rowe and Clayton Fejedelem will likely see increased usage.

Jones won't return to Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was productive to begin Sunday's game, as he totaled seven tackles (two solo). However, he was ruled out in the fourth quarter due to his knee issue. Eric Rowe and Clayton Fejedelem are candidates to see additional playing time for the Dolphins down the stretch.
