Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills due to a leg injury, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones sustained a leg injury during the third quarter of Sunday's contest. The veteran playmaker scored a pick-six to close out the first half, and would be a notable loss to Miami's secondary if he were unable to return. Cornell Armstrong will start at strong safety as long as Jones remains sidelined.

Jones will remain sidelined during at least the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Packers, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Postreports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones will sit out the beginning of Miami's game against the Packers in Week 10 as an attempt to discipline the starting safety's decision to remove himself from a Week 9 win over the Jets. It remains to be seen whether Jones will receive a full defensive workload when he does suit up Sunday.

Jones removed himself from Sunday's game but will play next week, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones exit from Sunday's game was not injury related and appears to be due to a rift between him and the team. Head coach Adam Gase said it won't be a lingering issue and he would not disclose if the team was going to fine Jones for his actions. Jones is expected to start as he normally does, but Minkah Fitzpatrick will be ready for a spot start if Jones' issues linger on and effect his role on the defense.

Jones pulled himself out of Sunday's 13-8 win over the Jets, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones' reasons for exiting the Week 9 contest remain undisclosed, but Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald indicates that drama appears to be brewing in Miami's secondary room. Rookie first-round pick Minkah Fitzpatrick is expected to continue slotting into the starting lineup as long as Jones remains out. Not enough is known about Jones' situation in Miami to draw any long-term conclusions, but the two time Pro Bowler's continued role with the Dolphins appears to be in question.

Jones has a partially torn right labrum but will continue to play through the injury, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones missed two games earlier in the season as he battled the shoulder issue, but returned for Week 5 with eight tackles and two pass breakups. The 30-year-old dealt with a similar injury to his left shoulder in 2015, but still managed to post or tie career highs in tackles (135), sacks (two), passes defensed (10) and interceptions (five). The veteran free safety could see limited practice reps as he continues to deal with the injury, but has already proven he can be a productive player when not fully healthy.

Jones compiled a team-high eight tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Jones had missed Miami's last two contests with a shoulder injury before returning Sunday versus the Bengals. The 30-year-old safety made an immediate impact, as he led the team in tackles. Jones has 18 total tackles and two interceptions in three games this season.

Jones (shoulder) is active for Sunday's Week 5 tilt against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Jones' return to action after a two-game absence is especially timely, considering the Dolphins must deal with a high-powered Bengals passing attack in Sunday's contest. The Pro Bowl safety's presence was especially missed in a Week 4 blowout loss to the Patriots when Tom Brady lit up the Miami defense for 274 yards and three touchdowns.

Jones (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Jones was a full participant in practice Wednesday through Friday, the Dolphins apparently weren't 100 percent confident in the health of his shoulder, so he'll retain an injury designation into the weekend. For his part, Jones, who has missed the past two games with the issue, is optimistic that he'll gain clearance to suit up come Sunday, according to Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. If Jones is ultimately active in Week 5, he won't necessarily be a safe bet to take on an ample workload right away, as rookie Minkah Fitzpatrick (20 tackles and an interception over the last two games) has thrived in the veteran's absence.

Jones (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones returned to full practice after being sidelined the last two weeks with a shoulder injury. The veteran safety is an integral part of Miami's defense and proved his worth when he picked off two passes in Week 1. Jones will look to shut down A.J. Green and the rest of the Bengals' offense on Sunday.

Jones (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 tilt against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was deemed likely to miss Sunday's contest despite putting in two full practices to finish off the week, and Sunday's inactives report confirmed that notion. First-round pick Minkah Fitzpatrick is expected to fill in for Jones for a second straight week.
