Jones (illness) took line rushes in warmups and is expected to play Wednesday versus the Capitals, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones missed three games, though the Blackhawks' postponed game versus the Flames shortened the defenseman's absence. He'll likely return to a bottom-four role, with Erik Gustafsson exiting the lineup.

Jones (illness) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Jones will miss a third straight game with the illness. His next chance to return is Monday versus the Flames.

Jones (illness) practiced Friday but isn't yet 100 percent, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Derek King said Jones will likely be a game-time decision for Saturday's game in Toronto. The defenseman has failed to record a point while averaging 14:50 of ice time in seven games this season.

Jones (illness) will not be available Thursday against Montreal, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones will miss his second straight game Thursday. The 24-year-old blueliner has been held scoreless through seven games this season. His next chance to play will be Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

Jones (illness) isn't on the ice for morning skate ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Rangers, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blackhawks have yet to make an official announcement, but at this point it's probably safe to assume Jones won't be available for Tuesday's game versus the Rangers at a minimum. It remains to be seen who will enter the lineup in Jones' place against New York.

Jones (wrist) was activated from long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

This is another sign pointing toward Jones making his Blackhawks debut Wednesday versus the Kraken. The 24-year-old will likely displace Erik Gustafsson or Riley Stillman from the third pairing if he does end up playing Wednesday. At this point, it's safe to consider him healthy going forward, though he's unlikely to score enough to make an impact in fantasy.

Jones (wrist) will be a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Seattle, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Jones will take the ice for pre-game warmups is a pretty good indication he'll be in action Wednesday. Additionally, the blueliner will need to be activated off injured reserve in order to play. If he does suit up, Jones could bounce Erik Gustafsson or Riley Stillman from a spot in the lineup.

Jones (wrist) was moved to long-term injured reserve Monday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is simply a paper move for Chicago's cap space as Jones was already expected to miss six weeks after straining his wrist. The 24-year-old blueliner will compete for a bottom-four role when he returns but could be a healthy scratch more often than not.

Jones will likely miss six weeks with a left wrist strain.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago will be without the defenseman for at least the first month of the regular season as his wrist heals. Jones wasn't necessarily expected to be a daily staple in the defense corps to start the season, and missing extended time could set him back further.

Jones missed practice Wednesday due to a sore left wrist, Carter Baum of the Blackhawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones' injury, combined with that of Wyatt Kalynuk (ankle), will serve to stretch the Hawks' blue line with Opening Night just a week away. Even if Jones is cleared to play ahead of the Oct. 13 matchup with Colorado, he may have to watch from the press box as a healthy scratch periodically in favor of Calvin de Haan and Nicolas Beaudin.
