Jones recorded 29 tackles (15 solo), including 7.0 sacks, and two passes defended across 17 games with Kansas City during the 2025 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Jones had one of the least productive seasons of his career, as his 29 tackles marked his lowest total since 2021, when he missed three games. However, despite the dip in production, the 2016 second-round pick still managed to lead the team in sacks once again. Jones will look to bounce back and help the Chiefs return to the playoffs during the 2026 campaign.

Jones (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was a limited participant in practice to open the week, but with full participation Friday, he is ready to go in the Chiefs' Week 16 matchup Sunday. The 31-year-old has not missed a game this season, accounting for 22 tackles (11 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and two pass breakups in 14 starts.

Jones (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones went without a tackle for the first time this season in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers in Week 15, and he may have left he contest a little worse for wear. The defensive lineman will have two more chances to move past the hamstring injury and log a full practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

The Chiefs added Jones to their injury report while he tends to a personal matter, but the defensive lineman doesn't have an official designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens and is on track to rejoin the team in Kansas City in advance of the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones is currently in Mississippi to attend a funeral, but he's set to take a flight back to Kansas City immediately following the ceremony and will be back with the Chiefs ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Through three games, Jones has notched 1.0 sacks among his five tackles while playing 163 total snaps.

Jones recorded two assisted tackles during the Chiefs' 27-21 loss to the Chargers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones played 51 of 63 defensive snaps Friday, which was far more than backup defensive tackles Jerry Tillery (30) and Derrick Nnadi (26). The Chiefs were without rookie second-rounder Omarr Norman-Lott (ankle) on Friday, so Jones' snap count could be more balanced if the former returns for Week 2 against the Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Kansas City restructured Jones' contract Wednesday, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Along with the restructuring of teammate Patrick Mahomes' contract, the Chiefs have freed up nearly $50 million in cap space with the move. Now there will be more space on the books for recent free-agent acquisition Kristian Fulton, who will be joining Jones on Kansas City's starting defensive unit in 2025.

Jones (knee) finished the 2024 regular season with 37 tackles (19 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in 15 games.

EDGE Analysis

As usual with Jones, the stats didn't tell the whole story: He was named a First Team All-Pro for the third year in a row. The defensive tackle also played on more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps in all 15 regular-season games he played in. The six-time All-Pro signed a five-year, $158.75-million contract with the Chiefs last March, and he will look to maintain his high level of play in 2025.

Jones (knee) is doubtful to return to Super Bowl LIX against the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Jones went down with a right knee injury in the third quarter and was evaluated by trainers on the sidelines. Derrick Nnadi and Mike Pennel will see more snaps at defensive tackle if Jones doesn't return.

Jones (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

The First-Team All-Pro defensive lineman from Mississippi State was sidelined for the Chiefs' final two regular-season games this season due to a calf injury. However, he's opened Kansas City's week of practice with consecutive full sessions, indicating that he's recovered from the issue. Jones' return is a significant addition to help the Chiefs' defense as they prepare for a hot Texans offense in the divisional round, which has averaged 27.5 points per game over their last two contests.

Jones (calf) was a full participant in practice Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones suffered a strained calf Week 16 against Houston and didn't play in either of Kansas City's final two regular-season games. The Chiefs' first-round playoff bye afforded him extra rest, however, and Jones' ability to log a full practice to open this week suggests that he should be ready to return Saturday in the AFC divisional-round matchup versus the Texans. If that indeed happens, Derrick Nnadi will likely see significantly less than the 65 percent snap share he logged in Week 18 against Denver.
