Jones (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones left practice early after testing his injured knee, but he said afterward that he's making progress and suggested the brevity of his appearance wasn't indicative of a setback. He also confirmed that he received second opinion on his knee, coming out of a bye week after playing just one of Jacksonville's past six games. Head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Jones could be a candidate for injured reserve, but the wideout looks like he'll stay on the active roster for the time being even while he remains uncertain to play this Sunday against the 49ers.

Jones (knee) exited the field during Wednesday's practice after briefly taking part in a change-of-direction drill, Eugene Frenette of the Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones tested out his injured knee while wearing a brace, but it doesn't sound like his workout went particularly well. Head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that injured reserve was a possibility for the wideout, with Jones having played in one of Jacksonville's last six games (Week 5 at Buffalo) prior to a Week 9 bye. If Jones is placed on IR before Sunday's game against the 49ers, he would be sidelined through Week 13.

Head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Jones (knee) is considered day-to-day, adding that the Jaguars haven't ruled out placing the receiver on injured reserve, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Jones took part in a workout Monday, the Jaguars apparently aren't yet convinced that he's fully past the knee injury and subsequent aggravation of the issue that kept him out for five of the team's last six games before a Week 9 bye. Since a stint on IR is still considered a possibility for Jones, he may need to practice in at least a limited capacity this week for the Jaguars to have more confidence that he'll avoid a longer-term absence. If Jones remains out for this Sunday's game against the 49ers, the Jaguars would likely turn to the trio of Tim Jones, Jamal Agnew and Elijah Cooks to share the No. 3 receiver role.

Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
The news isn't surprising, as head coach Doug Pederson heavily implied earlier Friday that Jones wouldn't be available this weekend. Jones will sit for the fifth time in six games, paving the way for Jamal Agnew, Tim Jones and Elijah Cooks to rotate in as the No. 3 receiver behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk. The Jaguars will are on bye Week 9, so Jones' next chance to play will come Nov. 12 against the 49ers.

Head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that he doesn't expect Jones (knee) to be available for Sunday's game against the Steelers, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has appeared in only one of the team's last five games and had to exit that game early after aggravating the knee injury. With the Jaguars on bye Week 9, Jones' next chance to suit up would come Nov. 12 against the 49ers, assuming he sits out Sunday. Jones' status for Sunday's game will be confirmed when the Jaguars release their final Week 8 injury report later Friday, but anyone who had been hoping to deploy the wide receiver in fantasy lineups should start lining up alternatives.

Jones (knee) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones hasn't practiced in any fashion since exiting in the Jaguars' Oct. 8 win over the Bills with a knee injury. Before that game, he had already missed the Jaguars' prior two contests with the same injury. Unless Jones can get back on the practice field in some capacity Friday, he'll likely be ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, which would mark his fifth absence in six weeks.

Jones (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jones, who last suited up in Week 5, now has two chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, but the wideout's continued absence Wednesday indicates that his Week 8 status is cloudy. If Jones remains sidelined this weekend, fellow WRs Jamal Agnew and Tim Jones would be in line to see added work behind behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk. J

Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Saints, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Jones still sidelined in Week 7, look for Jamal Agnew, Tim Jones and Elijah Cooks to see added work behind behind Jacksonville's top two WR options Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk. Jones' next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday, Oct. 29 against the Steelers.

Jones (knee) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Jones will have another chance to log some practice reps Wednesday, but at this stage, he appears to be trending toward another missed game Thursday against the Saints. The wideout previously sat out Weeks 3 and 4 with the knee injury before suffering an aggravation in his return to action Week 5.

Jones (knee) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones remains day-to-day after missing Week 6 against the Colts. The veteran wideout missed Weeks 3 and 4 but returned for Week 5, only to aggravate the injury. He has eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets this season. Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk have established themselves as Jacksonville's top two wideouts.
