Jones recorded 138 tackles (77 solo) and two pass breakups across 16 games between the Seahawks and Titans in 2024. Jones recorded 44 tackles through six games with the Titans before being traded to Seattle, where he registered 94 stops to total 138 tackles, 13th in the league. The 2021 third-round pick will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and with the Seahawks having limited depth at the position, he's a good candidate to re-sign with the team.

Jones recorded 138 tackles (77 solo) and two pass breakups across 16 games between the Seahawks and Titans in 2024. Jones recorded 44 tackles through six games with the Titans before being traded to Seattle, where he registered 94 stops to total 138 tackles, 13th in the league. The 2021 third-round pick will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and with the Seahawks having limited depth at the position, he's a good candidate to re-sign with the team.
Jones (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Jones was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, but it doesn't appear to be a lingering issue as he was able to participate in Thursday's session without restrictions. The 2021 third-round pick has logged 129 tackles (74 solo), four pass defenses (including an interception) and one forced fumble across 15 games with the Titans and Seahawks this season.
Jones (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Jones logged six tackles (two solo) and played all 58 snaps during the Seahawks' Week 17 win over the Bears. It appears he picked up a knee injury in the process, and his practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Rams on Sunday. In eight regular-season games with the Seahawks, Jones has recorded 85 tackles (45 solo), two pass defenses (including an interception) and one forced fumble.
Jones recorded six tackles (two solo) in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bears. Jones has produced just 11 tackles (four solo) over the last two games, a disappointing figure considering he averaged 10.6 tackles per game through his first seven games with the Seahawks. He'll look to get back on track in the regular-season finale against the Rams, who selected him in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Jones (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Jones appeared to be in jeopardy of missing the Seahawks' Week 16 contest after opening the week of practice with consecutive limited sessions due to a knee injury. However, he's without an injury designation for Sunday, suggesting he's already moved past the issue. Expect the first-year Seahawk to serve as one of the team's top tacklers in Week 16.
Jones (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Jones logged 11 tackles (five solo) and one forced fumble during the Seahawks' 30-13 loss to the Packers this past Sunday. Jones may have aggravated a knee issue in the process, though unless he downgrades to a DNP over the next two days, he should be able to play against the Vikings on Sunday. Across seven regular-season games with Seattle, Jones has logged 72 tackles (42 solo), two pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble.
Jones finished with eight tackles (six solo) and an interception in Seattle's 30-18 win over Arizona on Sunday. With eight more tackles, Jones is up to 107 (65 solo) on the year between his time with the Titans and Seahawks. The fourth-year pro has made at least eight stops in all six of his games with Seattle. Jones also recorded over 100 tackles in 2022 and 2023 with the Rams.
Jones (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Jones was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, but he was able to participate without any restrictions during Thursday's session and should be good to go against Arizona on Sunday. Jones has played every single defensive snap in nine of 11 games this season, and over his last three outings he's tallied 31 tackles (17 solo).
Jones (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Jones played throw elbow and knee injuries during the Seahawks' 26-21 win over the Jets this past Sunday, and he finished the game with eight tackles (six solo) while playing every single defensive snap. Jones appears to be past the elbow injury, and while he continues to work through a knee issue, that shouldn't prohibit him from suiting up against the Cardinals on Sunday.
