Jones (calf) remains listed as questionable but is considered unlikely to play Wednesday versus Pittsburgh, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones strained his calf in last Saturday's win over Houston and was listed as non-participant on two and a limited participant on one of the Chiefs' three Week 17 injury reports. The defensive tackle doesn't seem to have demonstrated enough improvement in his recovery from the injury to play Wednesday, but an official word on his status will arrive when Kansas City posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Jones can't play Wednesday, Mike Pennel could be in line for more than his usual allotment of defensive snaps on the interior.

The Chiefs list Jones (calf) as questionable for Wednesday's game at Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Jones strained his calf in this past Saturday's win over the Texans and was listed as a non-participant Sunday and Monday on the team's first two estimated practice reports of the week. The standout defensive lineman was upgraded to a limited participant Tuesday, though the Chiefs merely held a walk-through session. Kansas City will presumably check in with Jones early Wednesday to see how his calf is feeling, but given the quick turnaround for the Week 17 contest, it wouldn't be surprising if the team erred on the side of caution and held him out for the first time all season.

Head coach Andy Reid said Jones (calf) will not participate in Monday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones strained his calf during the Chiefs' 27-19 win over the Texans this past Saturday, and he is considered a "big question mark" for Wednesday's bout against the Steelers, per Jay Glazer of Fox Sports. If Jones is unable to suit up for Christmas Day, then Derrick Nnadi and Mike Pennel would be in line to see increased snaps at defensive tackle alongside starter Tershawn Wharton.

Jones (calf) is considered a "big question mark" for Wednesday's game against the Steelers, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

EDGE Analysis

Jones hurt his calf in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans and was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain following an MRI on Sunday, per Glazer. The Chiefs are facing a quick turnaround for the Week 17 game, with the team having just three full days off before the Christmas Day matchup with Pittsburgh. Jones would have a much better shot at playing in Pittsburgh if the game was held on Sunday, but the Chiefs could err on the side of caution and hold the star defensive tackle out on a short week.

Coach Andy Reid said Jones suffered a strained calf in Saturday's win over the Texans, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was injured in the second half against Houston, and now Kansas City is once again on a short week ahead of Wednesday's Christmas Day matchup with the Steelers. Derrick Nnadi and Mike Pennel would be next up for snaps on the interior of the Chiefs' defensive line should Jones need to miss Week 17.

Jones (calf) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Jones went down grabbing his calf in the second half. Prior to getting hurt, the star defensive tackle had two tackles and four quarterback hits. Jones has only 5.0 sacks this season, but he has drawn frequent double teams to free up Kansas City's other pass rushers to wreak havoc.

Jones logged six tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Friday's 19-17 win against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Jones had been uncharacteristically quiet on the sack front coming into Friday, going seven games without a sack. However, he got to Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell twice in the second quarter Friday. Bolton now has 5.0 sacks on the season, so he'll need to go on a run over Kansas City's final five regular-season games to reach double-digit sacks for the third straight campaign.

Jones finished with 2.0 sacks and four total tackles (three solo) in the Chiefs' 17-10 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The five-time All-Pro finished with his best statistical game of the year to date. Jones has nine tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in 2024.

Jones (shoulder) wasn't listed on the Chiefs' injury report Monday ahead of Thursday's regular-season opener against the Ravens, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones returned to practice last week and appeared to be on track to play in Thursday's regular-season opener, but Kansas City's injury report Monday made it official. With Jones back at full health heading into 2024, he's expected to remain one of the most dominant interior pass rushers in the NFL.

Jones (shoulder) returned to practice last week and was a participant again Sunday, and he appears to be in line to play in Thursday's season opener versus Baltimore, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones suffered a shoulder stinger in early August and didn't play in any of Kansas City's preseason contests, but his ability to practice of late suggests that the veteran pass rusher isn't at much risk of sitting out Week 1. An official update on Jones' status will come when Kansas City's initial injury report is released Monday.
