Jones rushed 9 times for 54 yards and caught all four of his targets for 24 more yards in Thursday's preseason win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
He managed not to fumble in this one, at least. It was Jones' best effort of the preseason although he is still considered a longshot to make the 53-man roster leading up to the Eagles' Week 1 matchup at Atlanta. Jay Ajayi's slow progress in recovering from a lower-body injury may help the fourth-year vet's case to make the team, but even so, he will still have to contend with rookie Josh Adams for a spot behind Corey Clement and Darren Sproles and therefore has minimal fantasy value.

Jones and Wendell Smallwood likely will be the only two Philadelphia running backs available for Thursday's preseason game against the Browns, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
In a backfield littered with minor injuries, Jones was unable to boost his stock in last week's preseason loss to New England, taking six carries for 19 yards and catching six of nine targets for 32 yards. His most memorable play from the game was a terrible drop that turned into an interception, but he'll at least have the opportunity to bounce back Thursday in Cleveland. A spot on the 53-man roster still feels like a stretch.

Jones had six carries for 19 yards and caught six of nine targets for 32 yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Jones failed to gain much steam in the Eagles' running game and despite being active in the passing game, had a rough night with three drops. The 25-year-old led the team's running backs with 33 offensive snaps -- compared to Wendell Smallwood's 30 snaps -- and could continue to see increased chances in camp, depending how long Corey Clement (undisclosed), Josh Adams (undisclosed) and Donnel Pumphrey (leg) remain sidelined.

Jones expects to see plenty of work in Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fellow running backs Corey Clement, Donnel Pumphrey and Josh Adams missed Tuesday's practice and are thus unlikely to play Thursday. Meanwhile, we doubt the team will employ starter Jay Ajayi extensively. As a result, Jones and Wendell Smallwood could be busy in the contest. Adjust your DFS lineups accordingly.

Jones (leg) participated in Saturday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has been sidelined for a little over a week with the leg injury and was forced to miss the team's preseason opener as a result. With his return to practice, Jones should be in good shape to play in Thursday's Super Bowl rematch with the Patriots.

Jones (leg) is not in uniform for Thursday's preseason opener, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
In a backfield full of candidates on similar footing, Jones' absence from Thursday's contest could drop him down the depth chart should Wendell Smallwood and/or Josh Adams post a strong showing. A long absence would further hurt his chances of making the 53-man roster, but a timeline for his return has not been disclosed at this point.

Jones is missing practice with a lower body injury, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The exact nature of Jones' injury isn't clear, and thus it's hard to say when he might be back on the field. Any sort of extended absence isn't good for his chances of making the final roster.

Jones has agreed to a deal with the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones struggled to find a role with the Colts last season behind the likes of Frank Gore and Marlon Mack, suiting up for just five games, often being a healthy scratch or a practice squad player. He finished the season with only five carries for 14 yards. The Eagles quickly picked up him after the Colts released him May 1, though it seems like he'll be a long shot to make the 53-man roster.

Jones was released by the Colts on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
A 2015 third-round pick, Jones only lasted two seasons with the Redskins and then spent last year buried on the Colts' depth chart. He has plenty of time to find another team before training camp, but he'll probably be a long shot to make the 53-man roster even if he finds a favorable landing spot.

Jones finished the 2017 season with five carries for 14 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Jones joined the Colts organization just before the season began, and he suited up for just five games as he was often a healthy scratch or a practice squad player. The 2015 third-round pick will be faced with another offseason of fighting for roster spots, whether it's on the Colts or elsewhere.
