Jones (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chargers, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports. Jones will be sidelined for a second straight game due to a hip injury he likely picked up against the Cardinals in Week 15. He has been unable to practice since the injury, so which puts him in jeopardy of being sidelined for the Patriots' regular-season finale against the Bills on Sunday, Jan. 5. Alex Austin is slated to serve as New England's slot corner for a second straight game due to Jones' injury.
Jones (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills. Jones has appeared in all 14 games this season, logging 58 tackles (48 solo), one interception and two fumble recoveries on 64 percent of the defensive snaps. Alex Austin will be in line for more defensive snaps behind Christian Gonzalez and Jonathan Jones in Buffalo.
Jones (hip) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Jones logged six tackles (five solo) across 30 defensive snaps during this past Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Cardinals. It appears the third-year corner may have picked up a hip injury in the process, which prevented him from participating in the Patriots' first official practice of the week. Jones will have two more opportunities to practice this week ahead of Sunday's AFC East showdown against the Bills.
Jones recorded eight total tackles (all solo) and defended three passes in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins. The third-year pro played 100 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps Sunday for just the second time this season, tying Jahlani Tavai for the team's leading-tackler. Jones has seen a recent spike in production, tallying 21 total tackles and four passes defended across the Patriots' last three games. His next opportunity to take the field will come in Week 13, when the Patriots host the Colts.
Jones recorded nine total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams. Jones played 84 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps Sunday and led the team in total tackles. The Houston product has now appeared in 11 games this season, recording 43 total tackles and five passes defended, including one interception. He's expected to continue starting alongside Jonathan Jones and Christian Gonzalez in the Patriots' secondary ahead of the Week 12 matchup in Miami.
Jones recorded six tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 25-22 win versus the Jets. Jones was on the field for all of New England's defensive snaps for the first time this year in Week 8, and he tied his season-high tackle total as a result. The way reps are split between him and Jonathan Jones will warrant keeping an eye on as the campaign continues.
Jones (groin/illness) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports. Jones went from logging a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his groin issue and illness in time for Sunday's game in London. Expect the third-year pro to serve as New England's top slot corner and punt returner in Week 7.
Jones (groin/illness) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Jones grabbed his first interception of the regular season during the Patriots' Week 6 loss to the Texans, but the 2022 third-round pick appears to have picked up a groin injury in the process. He's also dealing with an illness, and Jones could miss the flight to London for Week 7 against the Jaguars if he's unable to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days. Jones has accrued 22 tackles (17 solo) and one interception through the first six games of the regular season.
Jones finished Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans with three tackles (two solo) and one interception. Jones was in the right place at the right time Sunday, as tight end Dalton Schultz bobbled a pass from C.J. Stroud in the Patriots' end zone, which Jones picked off and returned for 35 yards. It was Jones' third interception of his NFL career and his first since Week 15 of the 2022 season. Jones is up to 22 tackles (17 solo), two passes defended and one interception through the first six games of the regular season.
