Jones recorded 11 tackles (four solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Jones led the Falcons in stops during the season opener. The 2016 second-round pick posted 100-plus tackles in all four seasons in which he played 15 or more games. He'll be a high-end IDP contributor as long as he's healthy.

Jones agreed to a restructured contract with the Falcons on Sunday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones originally was set to make $8.2 million in 2021. However, he agreed to defer $4 million of salary to the 2022 season, and in return his 2022 salary became fully guaranteed. The move freed up $4 million in salary-cap space for the Falcons. Jones will handle a crucial role in Atlanta again next season after recording 106 tackles, six pass breakups and 4.5 sacks across 16 games last year.

Jones, who registered four tackles during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Buccaneers, ended the 2020 season with 106 tackles, nine tackles for loss, 10 QB hits, 4.5 sacks, two interceptions, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and one defensive touchdown.

EDGE Analysis

Jones notched a 67-yard pick-six off of Las Vegas' Derek Carr in Week 12. Otherwise, he largely struggled in coverage this season. The 2017 Pro Bowler surrendered a 74.1 percent completion rate and six touchdowns over 54 targets, a notable decline from the 58.5 completion percentage and four passing TDs he conceded in 16 games last season. Meanwhile, Jones was deployed more than ever in pass-rush, blitzing on 61 occasions after registering 41 combined blitzes in 22 appearances between 2018 and 2019. Results translated, as in 16 games, Jones exceeded his QB hits total from his first 53 career appearances between 2016 and 2019 (six). The linebacker is signed with Atlanta through 2023, carrying a cap hit of $12.6 million next season.

Jones (toe) does not appear on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

A toe injury limited Jones in practice this week, but it's not enough for the linebacker to miss his first game of the season.

Jones (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones hasn't yet missed a game this season, and that he's still practicing in a limited fashion would seem to hint that he's on track for Week 16. As long as Jones' practice reps aren't downgraded ahead of Sunday's road game against the Chiefs, he should draw his usual start at middle linebacker.

Jones registered a team-high 10 tackles, including one sack during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

The LSU product registered two QB hits on Tom Brady, pushing his 2020 sack total to 4.5 with a second-quarter takedown of the Canton-bound signal-caller. That mark more than quadruples a previous career high in sacks for Jones, who has been deployed 50 times as a blitzer this season. In 22 starts between 2018 and 2019, Jones blitzed on a combined 41 occasions.

Jones registered 10 tackles and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Given his fourth-quarter fumble recovery, courtesy of a Steven Means sack on Taysom Hill, Jones has now generated takeaways in back-to-back games. The 2017 Pro Bowler stands with 78 tackles, 3.5 sacks and two interceptions to his ledger as Atlanta prepares to face the recently shut out Chargers in Week 14. Austin Ekeler presents a unique challenge to Jones and Co. as a high-level pass catcher out of the backfield.

Jones recorded five tackles, a pass breakup and a pick-six in Sunday's 43-6 win over the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was instrumental in shutting down the Raiders' run attack, as Josh Jacobs was held to just 27 yards on seven carries, while Devontae Booker produced six yards on five rushes. The middle linebacker came through for fantasy managers, too, marking the fifth pick-six of his five-year NFL career. He'll be in charge of slowing down Taysom Hill's run game when the Saints come to town in Week 13.

Jones registered six combined tackles, including one sack during Sunday's 24-9 loss to New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

The 2017 Pro Bowler has stepped up his presence in pass-rush in recent outings, collecting seven QB hits and three sacks in his past five games played. Jones has struggled in coverage comparatively, surrendering 11.3 yards per completion and already four touchdown passes against him in coverage this season. Up next is a matchup against Las Vegas, who offers an opposing quarterback in Derek Carr who is throwing to an uber-efficient 19:3 TD:INT on the year.

Jones racked up six tackle -- including two tackles for loss and one sack -- during Thursday's 25-17 win against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has struggled considerably in coverage so far this season, surrendering a 72.4 percent completion rate and four passing TDs on 29 coverage opportunities. The Falcons have been working around that issue, and so far results have been encouraging. Jones has been utilized as a blitzer 28 times in eight games this season, proving especially effective of late with five QB hits and two sacks the past three weeks. During all of 2019, Jones had just 36 total blitz chances in 16 appearances, recording no sacks and four total QB hits.
