Jones is not expected to be an every-down player for the Dolphins and could be a candidate to be traded, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a troubling designation for IDP users, as Jones has been one of the more reliable options for tackles at safety on a per-game basis dating back to 2012. While the report indicates the Dolphins would look to trade Jones, it's an unlikely outcome considering an acquiring team would inherit a $13.2 million cap hit, a significant amount for a 31-year-old who has played a full 16-game season just once in the last three years. T.J. McDonald figures to split time with Jones in the inevitable event he sticks with the team, likely jeopardizing either player's chance at returning value for fantasy owners in anything other than deep IDP leagues.

Jones (foot) was participating at practice Monday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones arrived at a scrimmage in early August with his foot in a cast and had no public timetable for his return, but his return to the field indicates he'll be ready for Week 1. The veteran safety missed two games early last season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder, but he played through the injury and underwent surgery in the offseason. Jones had 72 tackles (57 solo) and three interceptions in 2018, his least productive full season since his first year as a starter in 2011.

Coach Brian Flores didn't provide a recovery timetable for Jones (foot) on Monday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones missed some practices last week with the foot injury and arrived at Saturday's scrimmage with his right foot in a cast. Flores said, "He's making progress, but he'll be back as soon as he can be," so the veteran safety's availability for Week 1 remains in question.

Jones arrived at Saturday's scrimmage with a cast on his right foot, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones missed a couple of practice this week and wasn't present for the start of Saturday's scrimmage due to the foot issue. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the 31-year-old appears as though he could be sidelined for an extended period. Bobby McCain should continue seeing work with the starting defense in his absence.

Jones (shoulder) participated in Tuesday's mandatory minicamp, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Brian Flores said that Jones looks like he is in shape, so it doesn't appear that the defensive back, who underwent shoulder surgery back in February, is going to be under any strict limitations. The Dolphins still appear to be open to trading Jones, however, and the sign of him being healthy could help in those negotiations as summer carries on.

The Dolphins are still looking to trade Jones (shoulder) if they can find a reasonable offer, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has been the subject of frequent trade rumors throughout the offseason, and that seems unlikely to change in the near future. The 31-year-old will receive over $13 million fully guaranteed in 2019 and carries a $17.2 million cap hit, severely complicating any potential deals. The team's mandatory minicamp next week should provide some additional context to the situation and also could bring an injury update as Jones recovers from February shoulder surgery.

Jones (shoulder) isn't present Tuesday for the start of a three-day voluntary minicamp, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones showed up for the start of the offseason program a couple weeks ago and reportedly hasn't missed any team meetings. Coach Brian Flores didn't get too far into specifics when discussing the absence this week, merely saying that rehab from February shoulder surgery is one of several factors in the 31-year-old safety's decision to skip voluntary minicamp. As the highest-paid player on a rebuilding team, Jones has been a frequent subject of trade rumors this offseason, though his fully guaranteed $13.015 million base salary makes it tricky to find a deal. A trade would allow the Dolphins to use Minkah Fitzpatrick as a starting safety alongside T.J. McDonald, but it's possible the team prefers that its 2018 first-round pick take most of his snaps as a slot corner.

Jones (shoulder) is in attendance for the Dolphins' voluntary strength and conditioning program, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Entering the second season of a four-year extension with his $13.015 million base salary for 2019 fully guaranteed, Jones has been mentioned as a possible trade candidate for the rebuilding Dolphins. He's still one of the better safeties in the league, but the price tag is rather hefty for a 31-year-old who is still rehabbing from surgery to repair a partially torn labrum in his shoulder. Jones' attendance at the voluntary offseason program might be taken as a hint that he expects to stay with the Dolphins for at least one more year, though it's far from a sure thing.

Jones (leg, shoulder) recently had surgery to repair a partially torn right labrum, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones played through the injury for most of 2018, only missing Weeks 3 and 4. He finished the season with three-year highs for interceptions (three) and passes defensed (nine), but he dropped off to 5.1 tackles per game after averaging at least 6.7 in each of the previous five seasons. Still regarded as one of the better safeties in the league, the 30-year-old Jones has three seasons remaining on a four-year, $48 million extension. His guaranteed 2019 base salary ensures he won't be released, but the rebuilding Dolphins might look into a trade.

Jones (leg) logged three tackles (one solo), one pass defended, and one interception which he returned for a touchdown before exiting Sunday's 42-17 loss to the Bills due to a leg injury.

EDGE Analysis

Jones intercepted rookie quarterback Josh Allen's final throw of the first half, returning it for a touchdown and allowing the Dolphins to momentarily tie up the game. He then exited the season finale in the third quarter with a leg injury. The veteran played well in Miami's secondary this season, despite some disciplinary issues, and ends his season with 69 tackles, eight passes defended and two interceptions across 13 games. Jones will enter the third year of his five-year, $60 million contract in 2019, and is likely to return as the Dolphins' starting strong safety.
