The Bears placed Jones (ankle) on injured reserve Monday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports. As expected, Jones will finish the 2024 regular season on injured reserve. He will undergo surgery to repair a left ankle fracture that he suffered in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday. The expectation is that Jones should be able to fully recover by the start of training camp for the 2025 campaign.
Jones will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a left ankle fracture that he suffered in Chicago's 34-17 loss to Detroit on Sunday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports. Jones had to be carted off the field with an air cast on his left leg during Sunday's loss. Additional testing confirmed the diagnosis of a fractured left ankle, and the subsequent surgery will put an end to Jones' 2024 campaign. He started in all 12 games he played in this year, and while he won't play in the final two games of the regular season, he is expected to be fully recovered from his procedure by the time training camp starts in July of 2025. Larry Borom will likely serve as Chicago's starting left tackle over the last two games of the 2024 regular season due to Jones' injury.
Jones is believed to have fractured his left ankle during the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions this past Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Jones injured his left ankle in the second quarter of Sunday's game, which required him to get an air cast on his leg before being carted off the field. The 2022 fifth-round pick is undergoing further tests to confirm the diagnosis, and while he won't be available for the Bears' final two regular-season games, Jones is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp for the 2025 campaign. Larry Borom is the top candidate to serve as Chicago's starting left tackle for Week 17 against Seattle due to Jones' injury.
Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Lions, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Jones was carted off the field after injuring his left ankle in the second quarter of Sunday's game and has been ruled out for the rest of the contest. Larry Borom will serve at left tackle for the rest of the game due to Jones' injury.
Jones (leg) was carted off the field in the first half of Sunday's game against the Lions, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports. Jones had an air cast placed on his left leg before being carted off the field, and it doesn't appear that he will return to Sunday's game. Larry Borom has come into the game at left tackle.
Jones (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions. Jones was sidelined for the Bears' Week 15 loss to the Vikings due to a concussion. He was able to log consecutive full practices to end the week, and he will start at left tackle in Sunday's NFC North clash after clearing the league's five-step concussion protocols.
Jones (concussion) won't play in Chiago's matchup versus the Vikings on Monday, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Jones is set to miss his third game of the season as he's now in the league's concussion protocol. In his absence, Larry Borom will likely serve as the team's starting left tackle versus Minnesota.
Jones (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers. Jones upgraded to a full practice Friday after beginning Chicago's week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions, suggesting that he's now past his knee issue. The third-year pro from Southern Utah is expected to start at left tackle in Sunday's divisional matchup.
Jones (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots. Jones downgraded from limited work Thursday to a DNP on Friday and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game after sustaining a knee injury in Chicago's Week 8 loss to the Commanders. With both Jones and Darnell Wright (knee) sidelined in Week 10, the Bears' starting tackles are projected to be Larry Borom and Matt Pryor.
