Robert Jones: Everything you need to know

The 49ers are set to sign Jones to a contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Jones didn't play at all last season after breaking a bone in his neck in late July while with the Cowboys. He's presumably back to health and could compete for a starting role with the 49ers. During his tenure with the Dolphins from 2021 to 2024, Jones started 30 of the 49 games in which he appeared.

Jones (neck) visited the 49ers on Monday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. Jones missed the entire 2025 season with a neck injury but is presumably now healthy if he's cleared to take visits. The 27-year-old offensive lineman appeared in 49 regular-season games with the Dolphins across the 2021-24 seasons, making 30 starts.

Jones (neck) was placed on season-ending injured reserve Friday, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official site reports. Jones will miss the entire 2025 season due to a broken neck. He had peen penciled in as the starter at left guard prior to the injury.
