The Raiders are expected to waive Jones, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones will hit the open market after the Raiders recently made him available for trade, per Rapoport. The 2022 fourth-round pick started his career in New England before being traded to Las Vegas in November 2023, and he appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the first time last year. Jones put up career highs in tackles (69), passes defended (16) and interceptions (three) in 2024. In Jones' absence, Decamerion Richardson and Eric Stokes should be first in line to fill Vegas' starting outside cornerback spots in 2025.

The Raiders are expected to trade or release Jones, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones worked as a starter throughout last season, posting career-high marks in tackles (69), pass defenses (16) and interceptions (three). He also recorded his fourth career touchdown on a pick-six in Week 9. However, he also drew some criticism about his perceived effort after missing multiple tackles in a game early in the campaign and has dealt with several off-the-field legal incidents both in college and as a pro. Jones has one year remaining on the four-year contract he signed with the Patriots as a rookie ahead of the 2022 campaign.

Jones finished the 2024 season with 69 total tackles (52 solo) and 16 passes defensed, including three interceptions, over 17 games.

EDGE Analysis

Jones stepped into a starting role with the Raiders in 2024, securing a career-high 69 takedowns, while his 16 passes defensed and three interceptions marked the highest totals of his three-year NFL career as well. The cornerback was also able to return one of his interceptions for a touchdown in Week 9 versus the Bengals, notching the fourth score of his career. Jones still has one more year on his contract with Las Vegas and he'll look to take another step up in 2025.

Jones tallied three solo tackles and one interception in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Jones picked off an errant pass in the end zone from Baker Mayfield, which prevented the Bucs from scoring on their final offensive drive of the first half. Through 13 regular-season games, Jones has logged 54 tackles (45 solo) and 11 pass defenses (including one interecption and a pick six).

Jones finished with seven solo tackles, including a tackle for a loss, and a pass defensed in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

The cornerback also played on all 65 defensive snaps, the 10th time in 11 games that he's played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps. Jones has 48 tackles (39 solo) and nine pass breakups, including an interception, on the year.

Jones (back) is active for Sunday's Week 12 battle against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Jones hurt his back last Sunday against Miami and logged a DNP/DNP/LP practice progression this week. Nonetheless, the cornerback will be able to suit up Sunday versus Denver. Through 10 games, Jones has tallied 41 tackles (32 solo) and eight pass defenses, including an interception that he returned for a touchdown.

Jones (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Jones upgraded to limited participation in Friday's practice after logging DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, indicating he could be trending in the right direction ahead of the Week 12 divisional matchup. The Raiders will be without their top three corners if Jones cannot suit up Sunday, as both Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) and Nate Hobbs (ankle) have already been ruled out. Darnay Holmes, Decamerion Richardson and Sam Webb are all expected see expanded roles in Las Vegas' secondary.

Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters that Jones (back) won't practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones likely picked up a back injury in the Raiders' Week 11 loss to the Dolphins, despite playing 55 defensive snaps and recording seven total tackles. The Arizona State product likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bronocs.

Jones (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Jones suffered a back injury in the second half of Sunday's game . Fellow starting corner Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) has already been ruled out for the rest of the contest, meaning Decamerion Richardson and Darnay Holmes will be the Raiders' corners if Jones cannot return.

Jones finished Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Bengals with four solo tackles, two pass breakups and an interception that he returned 29 yards for a touchdown.

EDGE Analysis

Jones logged his first interception of the regular season Sunday. He perfectly read a screen pass from Joe Burrow intended for Ja'Marr Chase early in the fourth quarter, which Jones returned for a 29-yard pick-six. Through the first nine games of the 2024 regular season, Jones has logged 34 tackles (26 solo), eight pass breakups and one pick six.
