Jones (calf) has been activated off the Dolphins' non-football injury list.

EDGE Analysis

Jones' return to the active roster comes as a good sign for Miami. The projected Week 1 starting safety had been dealing with a lingering calf issue for the beginning part of training camp but it looks as if he's good to go now. The 29-year-old logged 51 tackles and a pick over the course of six games last season. When healthy, he's a reliable source of tackles in IDP formats, which was very much the case in 2015, when Jones racked up 135 stops.

Jones' absence thus far has been due to a calf injury, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones remains on the Dolphins' active/non-football injury, but prior to Monday's clarification from coach Adam Gase, it was unknown what kind of ailment the safety was dealing with. Although his calf problem isn't considered anything serious, Miami is rightfully exercising caution with Jones during the opening days of training camp. Restricted to just six games last year prior to suffering a season-ending shoulder injury, Jones is fresh off signing a five-year, $60 million extension this spring, clearly making him someone the Dolphins need at full strength once Week 1 draws closer.

Jones (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones, who signed a massive five-year, $60 million extention with the Dolphins in March, is not ready to join the team on the field quite yet. He missed the final 10 games of last season with a torn rotator cuff, which is presumably the issue currently keeping him out. The team is likely exercising caution with the safety in order to ensure his health as the season inches closer.

EDGE Analysis

Jones had a brief holdout last year during offseason activities, unhappy with the terms of his team-friendly contract that had two years remaining. Despite missing the final 10 games of last season with a torn rotator cuff, he finally gets the deal he has wanted all along, becoming one of the highest-paid safeties in the NFL. The contract strongly suggests Miami isn't worried about Jones' shoulder, as reported back in February. He's expected to participate in the offseason program.

EDGE Analysis

Jones hasn't missed a day of rehab since undergoing shoulder surgery on Nov. 1. General Manager Chris Grier is very optimistic about the safety's status and hopes to keep him in Miami long-term once his current deal expires after the upcoming season. "We're working towards it right now. We're talking with his agent and they're going back and forth...But he'll be here. I think he loves being here and he and Coach Gase have a great relationship," Grier said during the combine. Barring any setbacks during the offseason, Jones should reclaim his role as starting strong safety next season.

Jones is reportedly undergoing tests Monday to determine the full extent of his injury, but early indications don't appear promising. After not practicing all last week due to a groin ailment, Jones was still cleared to play in Sunday's surprising win over Pittsburgh, when he recorded five tackles (four solo). and intercepted a pass. One of the best safeties in the league, Jones is coming off a career-best 135 tackles and five interceptions last year, making his potential season-long absence a crushing blow the Dolphins will hope to avoid.
