Will not play Saturday
Jones (groin) is listed as inactive for Saturday's matchup with the Broncos. Jones' absence will mark his eighth straight game missed due to a groin injury. While he drew a questionable designation for the contest, he will ultimately not be able to play through it. As a result, Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams will continue to serve as the punt and kick returners for Cincinnati.
Iffy to play against Denver
Jones (groin) is questionable to play against the Broncos on Saturday after logging a limited practice Thursday. Jones has been sidelined for the Bengals' last seven games due to a groin injury he suffered in Week 8 against the Eagles. He was a limited practice participant all week and appears to be getting closer to making his return. Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams would continue to serve as the Bengals' kick and punt returners if Jones is unable to play.
Limited in practice
Jones (groin) was a limited participant in the Bengals' practice Tuesday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports. Jones hasn't played since the team's Week 8 loss versus the Eagles but is now closer to making his return. If the 26-year-old ends up being able to play Saturday versus the Broncos, he will likely resume his role as the team's top return specialist.
Out Week 16
Jones (groin) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game versus the Browns. Jones has been sidelined since Week 8, but he appears to be inching closer to a return. However, that will have to wait another week. As a result, Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams figure to remain the Bengals' top kick and punt returners.
Questionable for Sunday
Jones (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. Jones' groin injury has kept him out since Week 8, and he's now at risk of missing yet another outing. The second-year pro likely will remain the Bengals' kick and punt returner if he's able to return versus Cleveland, but if he's unable to play, Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams are primed to be Cincinnati's top kick and punt returners, respectively.
Limited Wednesday
Jones (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Jones has been sidelined for the Bengals' last seven games due to a groin injury, so Wednesday's limited session could be a sign he's nearing a return to the field. The second-year wideout from Purdue's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best indication into whether he can return in Week 16, when the Bengals host the Browns. If Jones misses his eighth consecutive game Sunday, expect Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams to serve as Cincinnati's top kick and punt returners, respectively.
Inactive Sunday
Jones (groin) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Titans. The kick and punt returner got in a limited practice session Friday after missing the sessions earlier in the week, but he will now sit for the seventh straight game due to the groin injury. Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams should serve as the top kick and punt returners, respectively, in Jones' place.
Could return in Week 15
Jones (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans. Jones upgraded to limited practice Friday after opening the week with consecutive DNPs, giving himself a chance to suit up for the Bengals' Week 15 contest. However, if the second-year pro from Purdue is forced to miss his sixth game in a row due to a groin injury Sunday, expect Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams to serve as Cincinnati's top kick and punt returners, respectively.
Estimated as DNP on Wednesday
Jones (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Jones has missed five consecutive games and doesn't appear particularly close to a return. Isaiah Williams has handled punt-return duties in Jones' absence.
