Jones (concussion) returned to practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After not practicing in any capacity Wednesday due to the concussion he sustained back in Week 16 versus the Bengals, Jones returned in Thursday's session. In order to suit up Sunday versus the Bills, he'll still need to clear all necessary protocols ahead of kickoff.

Jones (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones didn't play in Week 17 due to a concussion and remains sidelined to start Week 18 prep. The rookie defensive back isn't trending in the right direction, but he'll have two more opportunities to practice before New England needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

Jones (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was unable to practice this week due to his concussion, and he'll be forced to sit out in Week 17. He'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol if he hopes to suit up for the Patriots' regular-season finale against Buffalo next week.

Jones (concussion) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones' addition to the injury report comes as a surprise, as there was no previous report of him having suffered a concussion. It's unclear as to when it happened, as the rookie was significantly involved once again in Saturday's loss to the Bengals. If Jones is going to suit up Sunday against the Dolphins, he'll have to clear the hurdles of concussion protocols first.

Jones recorded a 15-yard reception, 14 tackles (one for loss) and returned a 69-yard interception for a touchdown in Saturday's 22-18 loss to the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

The third-round rookie also accrued 76 yards as a return man to finish the day with a total of 87 snaps between special teams, offense and defense. He also now is a member of an exclusive club with his third-quarter interception, as he joined Hall of Famer Deion Sanders as the only other player in NFL history to record touchdowns of 40-plus yards in all three phases in a single season. Despite Jones' penchant for big plays, head coach Bill Belichick said that the Patriots won't look to dramatically expand the 24-year-old's role on offense so that special teams and defense can remain his main areas of focus, according to Mark Daniels of The Springfield Republican.

Jones logged eight tackles (seven solo) and two passes defended, including one interception, during Monday's 27-13 win versus the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Jones logged his best defensive outing of the season after starting cornerback Jack Jones was forced out with a knee injury in the first quarter. With fellow starter Jalen Mills (groin) also inactive, the rookie reserve cornerback wound up playing a season-high 89 percent of New England's defensive snaps behind Jonathan Jones (100). As a result, the rookie Jones logged more than two tackles for the first time in his professional career. He also tallied his fourth and fifth passes defended, including an interception on an errant pass from Cardinals backup quarterback Colt McCoy. With the availability of New England's starting cornerbacks still up in the air, it's possible Jones could be in line to start Week 15 versus Las Vegas.

Jones, who logged three snaps on offense in Thursday's 24-10 loss to the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught both of his targets in the contest for 51 yards and a TD.

EDGE Analysis

The 2022 third-rounder, who has also been handling return duties for the Patriots, is officially listed by the team as a defensive back, but as Zack Cox notes, the University of Houston product did see work as a wide receiver in college in addition to playing cornerback and handling kick/punt returns. It remains to be seen if Jones continues to see snaps on offense in the coming weeks, but given how explosive he looked while taking a a screen pass 48 yards for a touchdown Thursday, it wouldn't surprise us to see New England's coach staff look to find ways to get the ball in the versatile rookie's hands more often down the stretch.

Jones (ankle) has been ruled active for Thursday's game against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was deemed questionable coming into Thursday night for the second week in a row while dealing with an ankle injury. Despite participating in a limited fashion during each practice Week 13, the 5-foot-8 rookie is set to play and serve as the Patriots' primary punt returner versus Buffalo. With starting cornerback Jalen Mills (groin) inactive, Jones could see increased playing time alongside Jack Jones and Myles Bryant as well.

Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was limited during each practice of Week 13 prep and is officially listed as questionable. The rookie cornerback was also questionable for the Patriots' Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Vikings and ended up playing, so barring a pregame setback, it's safe to assume Jones will suit up again Thursday.

Jones (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was questionable for the team's Thanksgiving day game against the Vikings with the same injury, but he did ultimately play. He'll work to do the same thing this week, as the Patriots host the Bills on Thursday.
