Jonathan Jones: Everything you need to know

Jones is in line to sign a one-year deal with the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The cornerback finished with 41 tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and five passes defensed in 12 games for the Commanders in 2025. Jones spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Patriots, recording more than 40 tackles and five pass breakups in seven of those campaigns. The veteran should have a chance to compete for time as Philly's third corner alongside Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.

Jones recorded 41 total tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding five passes defensed over 12 games during the 2025 regular season. Jones signed with the Commanders in the offseason after spending the first nine seasons of his career in New England. The cornerback missed four contests in late September and early October with a hamstring injury, but once healthy, he put together a rather productive campaign. Jones was able to secure at least 41 tackles for the fourth straight year and eighth time overall, while his sack of Tua Tagovailoa in Week 11 was his first sack since 2018. The 32-year-old is set to enter the offseason as a free agent, but considering his long track record of strong production, he'll likely have plenty of interested suitors ahead of the 2026 season.

Jones (head) has been cleared to return to Thursday's Week 17 game against the Cowboys. Jones underwent a concussion evaluation during the second quarter but was cleared to return before the end of the half. He should be good to go as one of the Commanders' primary outside cornerbacks for the remainder of the contest, barring another exit.
