Jones made 11 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
EDGE Analysis
The Seahawks shut down the Patriots' running backs to the tune of just 42 yards on 13 carries (3.1 YPC). Jones was instrumental in that effort, as he was all season. The 2021 third-round pick rung up 151 tackles (80 solo), 0.5 sacks, eight pass breakups and six interceptions through 18 games, including the postseason. Jones has two years left on his contract and will carry a team-friendly $11.0 million cap hit in 2026 as the Seahawks look to defend their title.

Jones (chest) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of the Super Bowl LX matchup against the Patriots, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was a full participant in all three practices this week, building on last week's limited sessions to produce a body of practice strong enough to avoid any injury designation ahead of Sunday's winner-take-all game. The middle linebacker is all set to suit up for the final game of the 2025 season and compete for the Lombardi trophy.

Jones (chest) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of the Super Bowl LX matchup against the Patriots, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was a limited participant in Thursday and Friday's practice sessions, and the absence of any injury designation means the middle linebacker should be good to go for the Super Bowl. The 26-year-old will have one more week to recover fully, but being cleared a week before the game is a strong sign that the defensive captain will be playing.

Jones (chest) was a limited participant during Thursday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is working through a chest injury that he likely picked up during the Seahawks' victory over the Rams during Sunday's NFC Championship Game, when he tallied eight tackles (six solo) while playing every single defensive snap. The Seahawks so far are limiting their practice sessions this week, so Jones' practice participation during the week leading up to Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8 will provide more clarity on his injury progression.

Jones (chest) was estimated as a non-participant at practice on the Seahawks' injury report Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones played 61 defensive snaps and led Seattle in tackles (eight) in the NFC Championship, but it looks like he might also have hurt his chest in that game. His status will be watched closely once the Seahawks start holding practices to prepare for the Super Bowl.

Jones (illness) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round tilt against San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Jones popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to an illness, but his ailment isn't considered severe enough for him to miss Saturday's playoff contest. The fifth-year pro ended the 2025 regular season with 126 tackles (60 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and seven pass defenses (four interceptions and a pick-six) across 15 games.

Jones (illness) didn't participate in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones popped up on the injury report Wednesday but will look to be healthy in time for Saturday's divisional-round matchup versus the 49ers. While his availability in practice Thursday and Friday will provide more clarity towards his status for the game, Tyrice Knight (shoulder) and Patrick O'Connell would be in line for increased playing time if Jones ends up being unable to play.

Jones recorded five total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 27-10 win over Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Jones had his four-game streak of reaching at least 10 tackles snapped, but he still finished one stop short of the team lead in Week 17. The linebacker has now compiled 121 total tackles (58 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding seven passes defensed, five of which are interceptions, and a defensive touchdown over 14 contests this season.

Jones posted 12 tackles (four solo) during the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones posted double-digit tackles for a fourth consecutive game (and sixth time this season), and he finished Thursday's game as the second-leading tackler behind Drake Thomas (13). Jones was the only Seattle defender to play all 92 defensive snaps and came close to giving the Seahawks possession in overtime, but his apparent interception of Matthew Stafford was reversed after replay showed the ball hit the ground. Jones is up to 116 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games, and he'll look to add to his total in the Seahawks' Week 17 road tilt against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28.
