Tony Jones Latest News
Reverts to practice squad
Jones reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Jones signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Dec. 18 and was elevated for the regular-season finale against the 49ers on Sunday. He ended up playing 15 snaps (five on offense, 10 on special teams), and ripped off a 46-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to finish with 55 rushing yards and a score on four carries.
Elevated for Week 18
The Cardinals elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Jones injured his shoulder during the preseason, which caused him to be let go by the Cardinals in late August with an injury settlement. He signed with Arizona's practice squad Dec. 18, and now that he's on the active roster, the 27-year-old will serve as the Cardinals' No. 3 running back behind Michael Carter and DeeJay Dallas for Sunday's regular-season finale against the 49ers.
Joins Cardinals' practice squad
Arizona signed Jones to its practice squad Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Arizona cut Jones from its injured reserve list prior to Week 1 of the regular season, but now he's back with the organization ahead of Week 16. With both Trey Benson (ankle) and Emari Demercado (back) dealing with injuries, it makes sense that the Cardinals are exploring depth options at running back.
Gets look from Chicago
Jones (shoulder) worked out for the Bears on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jones reached an injury settlement with the Cardinals in August after he injured his shoulder in the team's final preseason game. His workout with Chicago suggests the 26-year-old is healthy and looking to find a new opportunity. With Travis Homer (finger) now on IR, the Bears are on the hunt for running back depth and also brought in Jake Funk and Anthony McFarland for workouts as well.
Taken off IR with injury settlement
The Cardinals removed Jones (shoulder) from the reserve/injured list Friday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jones suffered the shoulder injury in the Cardinals' preseason finale against the Broncos on Sunday. He was set to miss the entire 2024 season after being placed on IR on Tuesday, but the injury settlement will allow him to sign with a team once fully healthy. Jones played in seven regular-season games in 2023 (four with Arizona, three with New Orleans), and he finished the season with 26 carries for 95 yards and two touchdowns along with seven catches (on 10 targets) for 37 yards.
Placed on IR
Jones (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. The running back is out for the season, per Urban. Jones suffered the injury during a preseason game Sunday. The fifth-year pro signed a reserve/future contract with the Cardinals in January after spending time on the team's practice squad during the 2023 campaign.
Won't return Sunday
Jones will not return to Sunday's preseason game against Denver due to a shoulder injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Jones sustained the injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and he'll finish the contest with seven carries for 29 yards and two catches for 14 yards. Hassan Hall should see most, if not all, of the carries in the second half, per Urban.
Goes back to practice squad
Jones took one carry for 13 yards in Sunday's win versus the Falcons. If Emari Demercado is able to return in Week 11, Jones will probably remain relegated to the practice squad.
Comes up from practice squad
Jones initially joined Arizona in early October, when multiple injuries struck the backfield. As of Thursday, James Conner (knee) still must miss at least one more game while injured reserve, Emari Demercado sat out Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury, and Damien Williams (foot) was placed on the practice squad injured list earlier this week. With this transaction, Jones and Keaontay Ingram now are the only healthy running backs on the Cardinals' active roster.
