Jones agreed to a one-year, $4.4 million deal with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones recorded eight receptions for 84 yards in 11 games this past season after serving a five-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. The veteran receiver only recorded two starts and was primarily used as a fourth wideout behind Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch, a group that figures to see additional competition added either via free agency or draft picks in the coming weeks.

Jones notched eight catches (on 11 targets) for 84 yards and no touchdowns in 11 contests during the 2024 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Jones' season debut was delayed by a five-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy and a subsequent one-game roster exemption, but even upon suiting up Week 7, he logged two targets in four outings before the Cardinals' Week 11 bye and nine targets thereafter. Overall, he reached double-digit receiving yards in a game just three times for his fewest overall in a campaign since 2020 (154 as a member of the Raiders). The soon-to-be 30-year-old is an unrestricted free agent in March, so his recent lacking output may not equate to much interest on the open market.

Jones played 24 of the Cardinals' 71 snaps on offense and finished with a 13-yard reception on two targets in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Jones finished fourth among Arizona wideouts in snaps, with Marvin Harrison (60) and Michael Wilson (59) finishing comfortably ahead of him and Greg Dortch (27) narrowly beating him out. The 29-year-old had played more snaps than Dortch in both of the previous three games, but he went without a target in all of those contests. With Harrison, Wilson, tight end Trey McBride and running back James Conner all greater priorities in the passing attack, Jones likely won't have an opportunity to see enough volume to make a splash in fantasy over the Cardinals' final four games of the season.

Jones failed to secure his lone target in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Jones made his season debut Monday after missing the first six games of the campaign, albeit it in a limited role. The veteran wideout played just 11 of the Cardinals' 57 offensive snaps in the contest behind fellow receivers Marvin Harrison (48), Michael Wilson (44) and Greg Dortch (17). Buried on Arizona's depth chart as a member of an inconsistent passing attack, Jones should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Dolphins.

Jones (hamstring) was a full practice participant Friday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the first six games of the campaign, five of them due to a suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, Jones now has a clear runway to a role in Arizona's offense. With Marvin Harrison (concussion) and Michael Wilson (ankle) both limited to kick off Week 7 prep, Jones is getting valuable reps in team drills, which may translate to the field Monday against the Chargers.

The Cardinals lifted Jones' (hamstring) one-game roster exemption Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Jones thus is back on the Cardinals' active roster for the first time since the NFL handed him a five-game suspension Aug. 23 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. The ban actually was lifted last Monday, but Arizona was granted the roster exemption at the same time, giving them until this Monday to activate him. Jones then picked up a hamstring injury last Thursday, which seemingly was enough for the team to hold him out Sunday at Green Bay. The Cards play next Monday against the Chargers, meaning his health may not receive clarity until Thursday's practice report, at the earliest.

Jones (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game at Green Bay, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reinstated from a five-game suspension at the beginning of the week, Jones now will miss a sixth game while nursing a hamstring injury. The Cardinals have a one-game roster exemption, giving them until Monday to place Jones back on the active roster. It apparently won't happen before Sunday's game, with coach Jonathan Gannon noting Friday that the wide receiver is dealing with discomfort in his hamstring after returning to practice Wednesday.

Jones (suspension) was limited at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reinstated from his five-game suspension to begin the season on Monday, Jones then had a one-game roster exemption placed on him by the Cardinals, giving the team until Monday, Oct. 14 to bring him back to the active roster. Arizona released WR Chris Moore on Wednesday, thereby opening up an immediate roster spot for Jones, but the latter now is dealing with a health concern of unknown severity. Arizona can clear up any questions about Jones' status for Week 6 on Friday's injury report, but he'll need to have the exemption removed by Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET to have any chance to play Sunday at Green Bay.

Jones (suspension) practiced fully Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since he was reinstated from his five-game suspension to begin the season Monday, Jones has had a one-game roster exemption placed upon him, which gives the Cardinals until Monday, Oct. 14 to add him to the active roster. They seemingly plan to do so before then, as a spot on the roster opened up Wednesday with the release of fellow WR Chris Moore. In the end, Arizona must make a decision by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for Jones to be available Sunday at Green Bay.

Jones' suspension was lifted Monday, but the Cardinals were granted a one-game roster exemption, giving the team a deadline of Monday, Oct. 14 to reinstate him to the active roster or otherwise release him, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones opened the 2024 campaign with a five-game ban for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. With five games behind Arizona, the team now can evaluate him in practice this week and bring him back to the active roster at any point in the next week, including in advance of Sunday's contest at Green Bay. Coach Jonathan Gannon spoke of the wide receiver Monday, saying he's "excited about Zay adding in here. We'll find the right ways to deploy him, and he's a playmaker for us, can play all three positions, and he can make plays." Considering those comments, releasing Jones doesn't seem to be an option for the Cardinals, so he likely will make his debut with the team this weekend or Week 6 against the Chargers on Monday, Oct. 21.
