Jones suited up for practice for the first time since signing with the Texans, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones spent the last two seasons with the Jets and played a total of 39 snaps on defense. The ceiling for Jones is that he makes the team as a special teams player where he could be an injury or two away from playing on defense.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets selected Jones in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 204th overall.
EDGE Analysis
Jones (6-foot-2, 189 pounds) is a lanky corner who is just an upside lottery ticket for the Jets at this point in the draft. At the Mississippi pro day he ran a 4.48-second 40 along with a 41-inch vertical and a remarkable 140-inch broad jump.
