Jones (hamstring) was carted off the field at Tuesday's practice, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones suffered the injury during one-on-one drills Tuesday. He dealt with an undisclosed soft-tissue injury earlier in the summer but had been cleared to practice to open training camp. Jones suited up for all 17 regular-season games in 2024, racking up 100 total tackles (66 solo) plus 12 pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble across 1,104 defensive snaps. He's now competing with Justin Walley and JuJu Brents for the starting outside cornerback spot across from Charvarius Ward.

Jones has sat out the past couple of weeks of practice due to a "soft tissue injury," the Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was one of four players on the Colts defense to record 100-plus tackles last season and started all 17 regular-season games. There are few details on his injury, so his status will need to be monitored early in training camp.

Jones tallied 100 total tackles (66 solo), 12 passes defended, including two interceptions, and forced one fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was one of four players on the Colts' defense to record 100-plus tackles this season, starting all 17 of the team's games. The second-year pro from Texas A&M has now started 27 of the 34 regular-season contests he's appeared in, leading Indianapolis in passes defended and tying for second in interceptions in 2024. With two years remaining on his rookie contract, Jones is expected remain with the Colts in 2025. The 22-year-old is likely to remain continue serving as one of Indianapolis' top outside cornerbacks next season after an impressive 2024 campaign.

Jones (throat) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Jones injured his throat in the fourth quarter of the Colts' Week 16 win over the Titans. While Indianapolis didn't practice Wednesday, his full practice listing suggests that the injury won't linger into Sunday's game against the Giants. Jones has registered 85 tackles (59 solo), 12 pass defenses (including two interceptions) and one forced fumble through 15 regular-season games.

Jones (throat) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Titans, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones suffered a throat injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. Given that the game has entered the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, he may have been held out for the rest of the contest out of precaution. His practice participation over the week will determine his availability for Week 17 against the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 29.

Jones started and recorded five total tackles and two interceptions in Sunday's 21-16 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Jones struggled in coverage Week 1 but has shown improvement in both of the ensuing two games. He played on all 90 of the Colts' defensive snaps Week 3, so he looks entrenched as a starter at right cornerback after winning the role in training camp.

Jones has been logging work with the starters during OTAs, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones worked primarily as a starter last season, though that was largely due to Dallis Flowers suffering an Achilles injury in Week 4. Flowers has returned to the field, but Jones has nonetheless been getting work with the Colts' defensive starters during OTAs. It's possible that Jones will be able to retain his starting role following a strong rookie campaign during which he tallied 44 tackles (33 solo) and five defensed passes over 17 regular-season contests.

Jones racked up 44 tackles (33 solo) and five pass breakups across 17 regular-season appearances with Indianapolis in 2023.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was thrust into a starting role early in his NFL career due to a season-ending injury to Dallis Flowers (Achilles), and by Week 8 he was handling more than 90 percent of defensive snaps. The 2023 seventh-round pick played an impressive 763 defensive snaps as a rookie, and while he may not retain a full starting role for the 2024 campaign, Jones has certainly solidified himself as a key cog in the Colts' secondary.

Jones started at cornerback opposite JuJu Brents along with nickelback Kenny Moore in Sunday's win over Tennessee. He had three total tackles.
EDGE Analysis
Jones moved into a starting role after the season-ending Achilles injury to Dallis Flowers. He played on 39 of the defense's 61 snaps, as Kenny Moore remains on the field in formations with just two cornerbacks.
