Jones (back) was a full participant in Friday's practice and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets. Jones suffered a back injury during the Dolphins' Week 13 loss to the Packers. He opened the week with limited practices, but he finished with a full practice Friday and is good to go for Sunday's AFC East showdown. Jones has logged nine tackles (three solo) over the seven regular-season games since the Dolphins' Week 7 bye.
Jones (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinelreports. Jones suffered a back injury during the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers this past Sunday. Jones will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity this week, but if he's unable to play against the Jets on Sunday, Da'Shawn Hand and Neil Farrell would be in line for an uptick in defensive snaps.
Jones (back) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Dolphins. Jones suffered the injury chasing a play during the second quarter, and it's unclear if he'll be able to return. Jones has 12 tackles (three solo) in 11 games this season.
The Dolphins signed Jones on Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. The 26-year-old defensive tackle is returning to Miami after spending six games with the Dolphins in 2020. Jones spent the last two years of his career with the Lions, appearing in 34 games (15 starts) and recording 38 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, while also defending two passes. The Ole Miss product is now the newest addition to a Dolphins defense that's headlined by signings such as Kendall Fuller and Jordyn Brooks. Expect Jones to compete for a depth role on Miami's defensive line this offseason.
