DaQuan Jones: Everything you need to know

Jones recorded 22 total tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks, two passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble across 12 regular-season games in 2025. The 34-year-old from Penn State was the Bills' most productive interior pass rusher this season, tallying his highest sack total since his 2017 campaign with the Titans. Additionally, Jones nabbed the first interception of his career in the Week 16 win over the Browns. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, the veteran will likely find work elsewhere ahead of the 2026 season following the emergence of 2025 fourth-round pick Deone Walker, who operated as the Bills' top interior defensive lineman for most of this season.

Jones (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card game against the Jaguars. Jones has been cleared for his first game action since Week 16 after upgrading to full practice participation Friday following limited showings Wednesday and Thursday. He's expected to start along the interior of Buffalo's defensive line, as Jones did in all 12 of his regular-season appearances en route to 22 tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Jones (calf) will be listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Jones missed Buffalo's final two regular-season games due to a calf injury, but the veteran defensive tackle appears to be making progress in his recovery ahead of Sunday's wild-card round game against Jacksonville. If Jones isn't cleared to suit up on the road against the Jaguars, however, rookie second-rounder will stand to handle a starting role on defense again.
