Jones (finger) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Chargers, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports. Jones upgraded from a limited practice session Tuesday to a full workload Wednesday, suggesting that he's moved past his finger injury in time to play Thursday night. The 29-year-old has recorded 36 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and two passes defended over 14 appearances this season. He's expected to serve as the Broncos' top nose tackle in the Week 16 divisional matchup.
Jones (finger) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Jones injured his finger in Sunday's win over the Colts and was unable to return to the game. Malcolm Roach filled in with extra snaps in the middle of Denver's defensive line with Jones out. The Broncos have a short week ahead of Thursday night's date with the Chargers.
Jones exited Sunday's game against the Colts with a finger injury and is doubtful to return, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Prior to exiting in the second half, Jones recorded three tackles (one solo) in the box score. Malcolm Roach is the next man up on the interior of Denver's defensive line.
