Jones (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card game against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has been cleared for his first game action since Week 16 after upgrading to full practice participation Friday following limited showings Wednesday and Thursday. He's expected to start along the interior of Buffalo's defensive line, as Jones did in all 12 of his regular-season appearances en route to 22 tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Jones (calf) will be listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones missed Buffalo's final two regular-season games due to a calf injury, but the veteran defensive tackle appears to be making progress in his recovery ahead of Sunday's wild-card round game against Jacksonville. If Jones isn't cleared to suit up on the road against the Jaguars, however, rookie second-rounder T.J. Sanders will stand to handle a starting role on defense again.

Jones (calf) is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against New York, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones will conclude the regular season with back-to-back absences as Buffalo prioritizes his recovery for the wild-card round of the AFC side of the playoffs. Rookie second-rounder T.J. Sanders will handle a starting role at defensive tackle for as long as Jones remains sidelined.

Jones (calf) won't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones missed the Bills' Week 17 loss to the Eagles due to a lingering calf injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's still managing the issue. The 34-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Jets. If he's sidelined for the second consecutive game, expect rookie T.J. Sanders to have an expanded role on the Bills' defensive line.

Jones (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Jones' calf issue has been lingering since mid-October, but after missing Weeks 6-9 he's been able to play in each of Buffalo's past seven games. However, he may have aggravated the issue Sunday versus the Browns, as the veteran defensive lineman wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week and won't play Sunday. Jordan Phillips (ankle) has also been ruled out, so T.J. Sanders could draw a start against Philadelphia.

Jones (calf) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old played through his calf issue in the Week 16 win over the Browns, recording four total tackles and an interception across 41 defensive snaps. Jones likely needs to upgrade to full practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to avoid an injury designation in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles on Sunday.

Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Jones (undisclosed) is viewed as day-to-day, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has dealt with a calf issue for most of the past couple months but didn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's win over the Browns before playing 61 percent of the defensive snaps. It's unclear if he aggravated the calf or is dealing with a new injury.

Jones (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was limited in Thursday's practice due to a calf injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The 33-year-old from Penn State is one of the Bills' top interior defensive linemen, recording 18 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble over 11 appearances this season. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start alongside Deone Walker on Sunday.

Jones (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Jones missed three games earlier in the season with a calf injury, and the issue seems to have reignited in the wake of the Bills' Week 15 road victory over the Patriots. The downgrade in practice participation from Wednesday's session does not bode well for the starting defensive tackle, but he will have one more chance to re-elevate his participation, expunge any playing doubt, and potentially dodge an injury designation for Sunday's road game against the Browns.

Jones (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Jones missed the Bills' last three games due to a groin injury. He earned the questionable tag for Week 10 after ending the week with back-to-back limited practices, and he's done enough in pregame warmups to be cleared to play in Sunday's AFC East tilt. Jones' return means there will be less rotational snaps at defensive tackle available for Deone Walker, Jordan Phillips and Phidarian Mathis.
