News

  • Officially let go Wednesday

    The Dolphins released Jones (Achilles) on Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jones was officially cut with a failed physical and will be designated as a post-June 1 transaction, thus saving the Dolphins $13.6 million in cap space. The 29-year-old originally joined Miami on a massive five-year, $82.5 million deal ahead of the 2020 season, though he missed the entirety of the 2022 campaign while recovering from left Achilles surgery. He'll finish his time in Miami with just 14 passes defended and two interceptions across 30 regular-season appearances. Jones will now have…read more

  • Set to be released

    The Dolphins informed Jones (Achilles) on Tuesday that he'll be released March 15, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Per Schefter, the move will be designated as a post-June 1 cut and will save Miami $13.6 million. Jones missed the entire 2022 campaign due to left Achilles' surgery and was still unable to run or jump as of late February, but he's not planning on retiring despite an uphill battle in his recovery. Jones will have a chance to test free agency this summer, but he might have to settle for a one-year prove-it deal.

  • Significant recovery hurdles remain

    Jones (Achilles) said via his official Twitter account Saturday that he "can't run or jump" after having missed the entire 2022 season due to left Achilles' surgery.

    Analysis: Jones is not retiring, as ESPN reports, but it appears he's still facing an uphill battle to return to the playing field. The 2018 Pro Bowler hasn't appeared in NFL action since undergoing Achilles' surgery last March to address a lingering injury, though it was initially reported the Dolphins expected him to be ready for training camp. This offseason, Miami can save $13.6 million in salary cap space by trading or releasing Jones after June 1.

  • Not returning for Week 12

    Jones (Achilles) is not expected to return to practice this week, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that he's "hopeful and optimistic" that Jones will return and play at some point this season, though he will not be back at practice until at least next week. The cornerback has been inactive for the entirety of the campaign to this point as he continues to recover from offseason Achilles surgery. His next chance to suit up will come Dec. 4 against the 49ers, though that seems very unlikely considering he's yet to practice this year.

  • Remains on PUP list

    Jones (Achilles) won't be activated ahead of Week 9, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones will miss a ninth straight game to start the season while he rehabs from offseason Achilles surgery. It's unclear when he'll return to practice, but it's starting to appear like he may be in danger of missing the entire campaign.

  • Won't be available Week 5

    Jones (ankle) won't be designated to return from injured reserve ahead of Week 5, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that the cornerback's recovery from offseason ankle surgery is "not progressing as fast as we'd hoped." Jones will miss a fifth consecutive contest to start the season, and it's unclear when he'll return to practice. In his prolonged absence, expect Nik Needham and Kader Kohou to continue garnering increased roles in Miami's secondary.

  • Week 5 return still uncertain

    Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Miami won't give an update regarding Jones' (ankle) availability for Sunday's game at the Jets until the middle of the week at the earliest, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Jones is eligible to return from the Dolphins' reserve/PUP list this week, but it sounds like there's a possibility he'll need to sit out at least one more game to recover from the ankle surgery he underwent back in March. With Xavien Howard (groin) also questionable for Sunday, Nik Needham and Kader Kohou could be asked to take a major step up against Corey Davis, Garrett Wilson, and Elijah Moore in Week 5.

  • Set for evaluation

    Jones (ankle) will be evaluated when the Dolphins return to Miami on Monday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Jones is set for an evaluation when the Dolphins return to their facilities early next week. The cornerback has missed the first four games of the season while on the reserve/PUP list, but he's eligible to return as soon as Week 5 against the Jets. An update on his status will likely come Monday after his evaluation.

  • Lands on reserve/PUP list

    The Dolphins placed Jones (ankle) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.

    Analysis: Jones underwent surgery in March to address a lingering ankle issue and was hoping to return by Week 1, but with the move, he'll be sidelined for at least the first four weeks of the regular season. In his absence, expect Nik Needham, Noah Igbinoghene and Keion Crossen stand to garner increased roles in Miami's secondary.

  • Aiming for Week 1 return

    Jones (ankle) is "trying to get back for Week 1," head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Jones was placed on the active/PUP list last Friday, and underwent surgery in March to address a lingering ankle issue. It was reported then that he would be ready for training camp, but his recovery appears to be going slower than originally anticipated. Once healthy, Jones should play a prominent role in the Dolphins secondary as an every down corner.

  • Placed on active/PUP list

    The Dolphins placed Jones (ankle) on the active/PUP list Friday.

    Analysis: Jones underwent offseason surgery to repair a lingering issue in his left ankle, and the initial thought was that he'd be ready for training camp. However, the Dolphins will opt to be cautious with the 2015 first-round pick and keep him sidelined to start camp. Jones is eligible to be removed from the list at any time before the final roster cutdown, but if he isn't healthy by the start of the regular season, he'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the campaign.

  • Has surgery, will be ready for camp

    Jones underwent offseason surgery recently to address a lingering issue in his left ankle and is expected to be sidelined for two months, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Despite the surgery, Jones is still expected to be ready for the start of training camp. The 2015 first-round pick finished the 2021 campaign with 58 tackles (47 solo), 10 pass breakups and one forced fumble across 16 appearances.

  • Ends 2021 without an INT

    Jones racked up 58 tackles (47 solo), 10 pass breakups and one forced fumble across 16 appearances in 2021.

    Analysis: Jones once again served as a pillar of Miami's secondary in 2021 across from Xavien Howard, though his quality of play doesn't usually translate to favorable IDP stats. The Dolphins have a potential "out" in the 29-year-old's contract this offseason that would result in $4.2 million in dead cap money, but the team could instead attempt to explore a restructured deal.

  • Season-high stops

    Jones had nine tackles (seven solo) during Thursday's 22-10 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Jones has now played 100 percent of defensive snaps in four straight games. Now that the Dolphins have both Xavien Howard and him operating at full capacity, Week 11's matchup against the Jets seems like a likely stage for impact defensive plays.

  • Good to go vs. Atlanta

    Jones (Achilles/groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Miami will have both of its top cornerbacks back in action Sunday after Jones and Xavien Howard (groin/shoulder) sat out the Week 6 loss to the Jaguars in London. Through his five outings this season, Jones has recorded 16 tackles, five pass breakups and one forced fumble.

  • Questionable against Atlanta

    Jones (Achilles/groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Both starting Dolphins cornerbacks are dealing with multiple injuries, as Xavien Howard (shoulder/groin) is also questionable. Neither one suited up for last week's loss to Jacksonville, and Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan must be licking his chops at the thought of facing the injury-riddled Miami secondary.

  • Inactive versus Jaguars

    Jones (Achilles/groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: With fellow starting cornerback Xavien Howard (shoulder/groin) also out, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald suggests that Justin Coleman, Nik Needham and perhaps Noah Igbinoghene figure to be called upon to fill in for the team's top CB duo versus Jacksonville.

  • Not listed on injury report

    Jones (quadriceps) is not listed on the Dolphins' injury report ahead of Sunday's contest against the Bucs.

    Analysis: Jones picked up the injury against the Colts in Week 4 and didn't return to the contest. He wasn't able practice at all Wednesday but was able to progress to a full participant by Friday. Jones has played the majority of the Dolphins' defensive snaps when healthy this season and should see a similar workload against the Bucs on Sunday.

  • Sits out Wednesday's practice

    Jones (quadriceps) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Brian Flores said Monday that Jones was considered day-to-day with the quad injury, and the cornerback was a DNP at the first practice of the week. The 29-year-old likely will need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance of suiting up this weekend.

  • Considered day-to-day

    Coach Brian Flores said Monday that Jones (quadriceps) is considered day-to-day, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Jones picked up a quad issue that led to an early Week 4 exit against the Colts. Flores said the 29-year-old will try to practice Wednesday, which will give a good indication of his availability for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.

  • Questionable to return

    Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to a quadriceps injury.

    Analysis: Jones recorded a solo tackle in the first half of Sunday's matchup but is dealing with a quad issue. The 29-year-old was seen on the sideline working on the stationary bike, but Justin Coleman should see additional playing time if Jones is unable to return.

  • Continues strong early effort

    Jones recorded two tackles and a pass defended in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Jones has now broken up at least one pass in each of the Dolphins first three games of the season. He has only 11 total tackles but has managed to record a defensive snap rate of greater than 90 percent in every contest to this point.

  • Looks ready for Week 5

    Jones (groin/Achilles) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Jones appears on track for Sunday's contest in San Francisco after having missed back-to-back games. Barring any setbacks during Friday's practice, Jones stands to resume handling his usual starting workload across from Xavien Howard.

  • Starts week with limited practice

    Jones (groin/Achilles) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Brian Flores said Monday that Jones is expected to play Sunday in San Francisco barring a setback, and the cornerback's limited practice to start the week does nothing to dispel that notion. Jones will ideally be able to upgrade to a full practice as the week goes along, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him log limited sessions the rest of the way as he prepares to rejoin his teammates on the field for the first time since Week 2.

  • On track for Week 5

    Coach Brian Flores said Monday that Jones (groin/Achilles) should play Week 5 against the 49ers barring a setback, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: The Dolphins' secondary held up longer than expected in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Seahawks, but Jones will be a major boost over rookie Noah Igbinoghene. Jones likely will be limited to begin the practice week but is expected to be ready Sunday. He's played just two games this season, but he's been the team's lockdown corner, allowing a 75.7 passer rating when targeted.

  • Won't suit up Sunday

    Jones (groin) is officially inactive for Sunday's matchup with Seattle.

    Analysis: Jones came into the game drawing a doubtful tag, so this news isn't quite surprising. Week 4 will mark his second straight absence, and Auburn rookie Noah Igbinoghene will continue to start across from Xavien Howard.

  • Officially doubtful for Week 4

    Jones (groin/Achilles) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Seattle, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Jones is expected to miss Sunday's contest, per Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, which would be his second straight absence. Until Jones is able to get healthy, rookie first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene will continue to start across from Xavien Howard.

  • Upgrades to limited practice

    Jones (groin/Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Jones wasn't able to suit up against the Jaguars last Thursday due to a combination of groin and Achilles' injuries, so it's now encouraging to see him back at practice in at least a limited capacity. The extent of Jones' participation during Friday's practice could go a long way in determining his availability for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

  • Still not practicing

    Jones (groin/Achilles) didn't practice Wednesday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Jones isn't practicing for a second consecutive week, so he'll need to heal from his combination of injuries quickly to suit up against the high-flying Seahawks passing attack Sunday. Consider the cornerback on the wrong side of questionable.

  • Absent from early part of practice

    Jones (groin/Achilles) is not present at the early portion of Monday's practice open to the media, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Jones missed last Thursday's win over the Jaguars due to a combination of groin and Achilles injuries, and it looks as though he still isn't ready to resume practicing. Rookie first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene would stand to draw another start if Jones can't progress in time to suit up versus Seattle on Sunday.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Jones (groin/Achilles) didn't practice Wednesday and has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Jaguars, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Jones left last week's loss to the Bills with a groin injury, and it looks like that injury will keep him out on a short week in Week 3. The cornerback also had an Achilles injury listed on this latest injury report. He'll have 10 days to heal up for the Week 4 matchup with Seattle.

  • Listed as DNP on practice estimate

    Jones (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Jones suffered a groin injury during this past Sunday's loss to the Bills, and coach Brian Flores has been pessimistic about the high-salaried CB suiting up in Thursday's matchup against the Jaguars. The Dolphins are expected to actually take the practice field Tuesday, but if Jones is unable to participate, rookie first-rounder Noah Igbinoghene will likely command the first-team reps.

  • Likely to sit out Thursday

    Coach Brian Flores relayed that Jones (groin) would "have to heal pretty quickly" to play in Thursday's game versus the Jaguars, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Jones left early in Sunday's loss to the Bills and never returned, and it'll be tough for him to recover from a soft-tissue injury on a short week. Rookie first-rounder Noah Igbinoghene recorded a 93 percent snap share in Jones' place Sunday, and he could get the start Thursday if Jones indeed sits out.

  • Ruled out for remainder of Week 2

    Jones (groin) will be unable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills, per Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: The Dolphins will be without the team's big-ticket cornerback signing from the offseason after Jones exited early in Sunday's contest. Against the Stefon Diggs-led Bills receiving corps, Xavien Howard, Noah Igbinoghene and Nik Needham will have to pick up the slack for the remainder of Sunday's intradivisional tilt.

  • Heads to locker room

    Jones (groin) exited Sunday's game against the Bills and is questionable to return, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Jones had battled the Achilles injury the past two weeks, but now appears to be dealing with a new issue. As long as Jones is sidelined, rookie Noah Igbinoghene would be in line to see a major uptick in snaps at cornerback.

  • Good to face Bills

    Jones (Achilles) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against Buffalo, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Jones was a full participant in Friday's practice after having been limited to begin the week. The star cornerback followed a similar path before being cleared to play Week 1, so it's possible that the Dolphins simply intend to limit his practice reps going forward.

  • Limited in Wednesday's session

    Jones (Achilles) was limited in practice Wednesday, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Considering Jones was able to play through the injury in Week 1 against the Patriots, he's still more likely than not to suit up against the Bills on Sunday given what we know at this point.

  • Ready to rock

    Jones (Achilles) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Patriots, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones managed to practice without restrictions Friday after having kicked off the week with two limited sessions. With Xavien Howard (knee) also having shed his injury tag, the Dolphins' dynamic new cornerback duo is on track to make its debut against Cam Newton and the Patriots on Sunday.

    Jones (Achilles) was limited in Wednesday's practice session, Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Jones and fellow cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) were both limited, and missing either against the Patriots in Week 1 would be a major blow to the Dolphins' secondary. Thursday's injury report should help shed more light on Jones' status.

  • Foundational role on tap

    The Dolphins are relying on Jones (ankle) to anchor the defense alongside Xavien Howard in 2020, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: The five-year, $82.5 million deal Jones inked with Miami in March made him the league's highest-paid cornerback at the time, and the team's success on defense relies on him playing up to his hefty salary. Having proven himself to be one of the best press corners in the league over past five seasons in Dallas, Jones stands to be matched up against the most physical opposing receivers and tight ends that the Dolphins face in 2020.

  • Lands in Miami

    The Dolphins signed Jones (ankle) to a contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: One of the key puzzle pieces of free agency has found a new home, moving on from the Cowboys after five campaigns. During that run, the 27-year-old cornerback averaged 4.4 tackles per game while compiling three forced fumbles, two interceptions and one defensive touchdown. Perhaps Jones' biggest attribute is a lack of injury history, as he's missed just one of 80 career regular-season outings.

  • Will hit free agency

    The Cowboys are expected to let Jones (ankle) test free agency, Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: This news is relatively unsurprising, as the Cowboys have a lot of financial responsibilities to take care of during the offseason. As a result, Jones will be able to test the market out. The 2015 first-round pick is regarded as a shutdown corner and is expected to earn a big contract. He missed most of last year's training camp and preseason due to hip injury but ultimately played in 15 games before missing the season finale with an ankle injury.

  • Battles through injuries in 2019

    Jones (ankle) wrapped up the 2019 season with 46 tackles (37 solo), six passes defended and a forced fumble in 15 games.

  • Won't play in finale

    Jones (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Redskins, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones sustained a right ankle sprain during Thursday's practice, and he wore a protective boot Friday. It's a major loss for the Cowboys' secondary since Jones is an every-down cornerback, and the 27-year-old's season will be over if the Redskins pull off an upset. For the time being, Deante Burton is expected to see an uptick in defensive usage.

  • Likely unavailable

    Jones (ankle) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Redskins, Ed Werder of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jones suffered the right ankle sprain during Thursday's practice and was wearing a protective boot Friday, so it's not a major surprise he isn't expected to play despite officially being questionable. Jourdan Lewis would see an increased role Sunday if Jones cannot suit up.

  • Held back in practice

    Jones (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Jones shook off a hamstring injury to suit up in last Thursday's loss to the Bears, but now he's hampered by a hip issue. There's no information about the severity of Jones' injury, but a potential absence in Week 15 would be quite disruptive to the Cowboys' defense against the Rams' sixth-ranked passing game (276.8 yards per game). The 2015 first-round pick plays an every-down role, allowing 6.5 yards per target and three touchdowns in coverage this year.
