Jones caught one of two targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss to Green Bay. Jones played a season-high 27 offensive snaps as the Jags' receiving corps was ravaged by injuries during Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old was targeted for the first time this season and should be more involved going forward with Christian Kirk (collarbone) out for the year. Jones could vault further up the depth chart in the short term since Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) are also banged up.

Jones caught one of two targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss to Green Bay. Jones played a season-high 27 offensive snaps as the Jags' receiving corps was ravaged by injuries during Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old was targeted for the first time this season and should be more involved going forward with Christian Kirk (collarbone) out for the year. Jones could vault further up the depth chart in the short term since Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) are also banged up.
Jones played 10 of the Jaguars' 61 snaps on offense and didn't draw a target in Sunday's 32-16 win over the Patriots. Jones has suited up for each of Jacksonville's first seven contests, but the receiver hasn't exceeded 14 snaps in any contest and has yet to be targeted in the passing game. The Jaguars value Jones mostly for his contributions on special teams rather than offense.
Jones (foot) is active ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Bills. Jones appeared to have sustained a foot injury during the Jaguars' week of practice, but that issue won't stop him from suiting up for the team's Week 3 matchup with the Bills. Expect Jones to play almost strictly on special teams Monday night.
Jones (foot) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice session and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Buffalo, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Jones was a full participant Thursday and Friday, but he appears to have picked up a foot injury and is in jeopardy of missing Monday's game. He's played 34 of his 35 snaps on special teams through the first two games of the regular season and has not recorded a tackle.
Jones played one offensive snap and didn't receive a target during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins. The 26-year-old re-signed with the Jaguars in mid-April but unsurprisingly saw most of his action on special teams in Week 1, as he played 16 snaps. Jones appears to be behind Parker Washington and Devin Duvernay on the depth chart at wide receiver, but none of that trio is likely to have offensive relevance if top wideouts Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas remain healthy.
The Jaguars re-signed Jones on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jones was an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, so the Jaguars had the option to retain him for 2024. The wideout appeared in all 17 games last season for the second straight year, finishing the campaign with an 11-83-0 line on 18 targets. He upped his offensive involvement from 145 snaps in 2022 to 339 due to injuries to Christian Kirk and Zay Jones during the year. Jones will again compete for a depth job this summer.
The 25-year-old didn't have a significant role in the aerial attack but played 56 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps since Jamal Agnew departed with a shoulder injury. Jones should operate at the Jags' No. 3 wideout this weekend against the Titans if Zay Jones (knee) and Agnew are unavailable.
