Jones (knee) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has been sidelined for the Bears' last 11 games due to a knee injury sustained in the Week 7 win over the Saints, but he could return for the team's playoff run. If he's added to Chicago's active roster in time for Saturday's wild-card round matchup against the Packers, Jones would likely operate as one of the Bears' top reserve tackles.

Jones (knee) was placed on the injured reserve list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones didn't practice both Thursday and Friday due to a knee injury, and he'll now be forced to miss at least Chicago's next four contests after his placement on IR. While he's sidelined, expect Ozzy Trapilo to serve as the Bears' top reserve offensive tackle.

Jones (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Jones downgraded from a limited session Wednesday to DNPs on Thursday and Friday, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined for the Week 8 contest. Expect Ozzy Trapilo to operate as the Bears' top reserve tackle in Jones' stead.

Head coach Ben Johnson told reporters Tuesday that Jones will start at left tackle for the Bears' Week 1 clash against the Vikings on Monday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones started in 12 games in 2024 but missed the final two contests of the regular season due to a left ankle fracture. He was cleared to practice at the start of training camp and beat out Kiran Amegadjie, Theo Benedet and rookie second-rounder Ozzy Trapilo for the starting job at left tackle. Jones and guard Joe Thuney will be responsible for protecting the left side of the offensive line for the start of the 2025 campaign.

Jones (ankle) has been practicing during training camp and took first-team reps at left tackle Tuesday, per Bear Report.
EDGE Analysis
Jones ended last season on IR due to a left ankle fracture that required surgery. The 2022 fifth-round draft selection has had enough time to recover and is competing for the starting role at left tackle. Chicago selected another LT, Ozzy Trapilo, in the second round of April's NFL Draft, but Jones seems to have the leg up to start given that he's getting most of the work with the starters during camp. Kiran Amegadjie, who started one game at tackle last year, has also gotten some reps with the first team early in the preseason.

The Bears placed Jones (ankle) on injured reserve Monday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Jones will finish the 2024 regular season on injured reserve. He will undergo surgery to repair a left ankle fracture that he suffered in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday. The expectation is that Jones should be able to fully recover by the start of training camp for the 2025 campaign.

Jones will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a left ankle fracture that he suffered in Chicago's 34-17 loss to Detroit on Sunday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones had to be carted off the field with an air cast on his left leg during Sunday's loss. Additional testing confirmed the diagnosis of a fractured left ankle, and the subsequent surgery will put an end to Jones' 2024 campaign. He started in all 12 games he played in this year, and while he won't play in the final two games of the regular season, he is expected to be fully recovered from his procedure by the time training camp starts in July of 2025. Larry Borom will likely serve as Chicago's starting left tackle over the last two games of the 2024 regular season due to Jones' injury.

Jones is believed to have fractured his left ankle during the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions this past Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones injured his left ankle in the second quarter of Sunday's game, which required him to get an air cast on his leg before being carted off the field. The 2022 fifth-round pick is undergoing further tests to confirm the diagnosis, and while he won't be available for the Bears' final two regular-season games, Jones is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp for the 2025 campaign. Larry Borom is the top candidate to serve as Chicago's starting left tackle for Week 17 against Seattle due to Jones' injury.
