  • Next Gen Stats

    DJ Jones has generated 30 run stops (successful plays for the defense) on 168 run defense snaps this season, leading to a 17.9% run stop rate (2nd-highest in NFL, min. 100 run snaps).

    Updated Tue, Dec 17 at 11:18am
  • Past finger injury

    Jones (finger) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Chargers, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones upgraded from a limited practice session Tuesday to a full workload Wednesday, suggesting that he's moved past his finger injury in time to play Thursday night. The 29-year-old has recorded 36 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and two passes defended over 14 appearances this season. He's expected to serve as the Broncos' top nose tackle in the Week 16 divisional matchup.

  • Listed as DNP on Monday

    Jones (finger) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones injured his finger in Sunday's win over the Colts and was unable to return to the game. Malcolm Roach filled in with extra snaps in the middle of Denver's defensive line with Jones out. The Broncos have a short week ahead of Thursday night's date with the Chargers.

  • Concludes second season in Denver

    Jones recorded 46 tackles (30 solo), including two sacks, with three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries while playing 16 games during the 2023 season.

    Analysis: Jones showed improvement in his second campaign with the Broncos, recording 12 more tackles than he did in 2022 while making more game-changing plays. The veteran nose tackle's three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries were both career highs. Jones is heading into the final season of his three-year deal with Denver, so the 29-year-old will look to build off his solid performance this season heading into a contract year.

  • Logs full practice

    Jones (knee) practiced fully Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones missed last week's loss to the Chiefs but is now on track to make his return against the Packers on Sunday. The 28-year-old will now be tasked with helping slow down Green Bay's run game as Aaron Jones (hamstring) could potentially make his return as well.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Jones (knee) was ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, according to Troy Renck of Denver 7 News.

    Analysis: Jones has not practiced since suffering a knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Jets. While the nature of this issue is still unclear, the 28-year-old will now miss at least one contest while his knee continues to recover. His next opportunity to play will come versus the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 22. With Jones sidelined, expect Mike Purcell to step in as Denver's starting nose tackle during Thursday Night Football.

  • Non-participant Monday

    Jones (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Jones injured his knee in Sunday's loss to the Jets and exited the game after accumulating one solo tackle on 11 defensive snaps. Given Monday's practice was just a walkthrough, his inability to participate does not bode well for his chances to recover in time for Thursday's game in Kansas City. Still, more clarity on his status will come as the week progresses.

    Jones (knee) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Jets, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

  • Sees limited action Saturday

    Jones assisted on one tackle in Saturday's 21-20 preseason loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Jones suffered a concussion in Denver's first preseason contest against Arizona, but the veteran was able to clear protocol in time to garner active status for Saturday's tilt in San Francisco. The 28-year-old nose tackle should continue to play a significant role on the Broncos' interior defensive line in 2023.

  • Diagnosed with concussion

    Jones sustained a concussion in Friday's exhibition game in Arizona, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Jones will now have to clear the league's concussion protocol before suiting up again. Look for the Broncos to take it easy with their starting nose tackle going forward in order to ensure his health for the start of the season.

  • Back at practice

    Jones (knee) was able to participate at the Broncos' practice Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones has been dealing with a knee injury as the Broncos have been ramping up their offseason program in recent weeks, but it appears the nose tackle is good to go moving forward. Jones is expected to be a staple on Denver's interior defensive line in his second year with the franchise. He recorded 34 tackles, including two sacks, while deflecting a career-high six passes over 15 games last season.

    Jones (knee) will not be participating in OTAs, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Jones missed the last two weeks of the 2022 campaign due to a possibly related knee injury. How much more time he'll need to recover is unknown, but when healthy, Jones should be a significant piece of the Broncos' defensive line rotation.

  • Ruled out for Week 18

    Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones will miss back-to-back games to end the 2022 campaign due to a knee injury. Mike Purcell (elbow) and Eyioma Uwazurike are candidates for increased roles in Jones' absence.

    Jones (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Jones will now miss his first matchup of the 2022-23 campaign as a result of the knee injury. In his absence, Mike Purcell should handle a larger role at nose tackle this weekend, while Eyioma Uwazurike is slated to receive more rotational snaps on Denver's defensive line.

    Jones (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Jones was sidelined for first the two practices of Week 17 with a knee injury, though it's unclear when or how this issue first arose. The 27-year-old nose tackle was able to increase his participation with a limited session Friday, so he'll still have a chance to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup. Jones has recorded 34 tackles, two sacks and a career-high six passes defended over 15 games this season, and his potential absence would leave Eyioma Uwazurike to assume a bigger role behind…read more

  • Available Sunday

    Jones (shoulder/illness) has been deemed active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Jones has recently dealt with shoulder discomfort that limited him to a season-low 16 defensive snaps last week against Kansas City. He also sat out practice Friday with an illness, but the nose tackle is nonetheless set to make his 14th appearance of the season. However, Jones will likely slot in behind Mike Purcell and DeShawn Williams during Week 15.

  • Dealing with illness

    Jones (shoulder/illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Arizona, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones continues to deal with shoulder discomfort, but he was trending toward suiting up again after logging back-to-back full sessions to start Week 15 prep. However, he was downgraded to a non-participant Friday due to an illness. The veteran nose tackle has yet to miss a game during his first season with Denver, totaling 32 tackles, five pass defenses and two sacks.

    Jones (shoulder) has been ruled active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones dealt with shoulder discomfort during Week 14 prep and was listed as questionable heading into Sunday. However, this will not stop the starting nose tackle from suiting up against Kansas City. Expect Jones to continue playing the majority of Denver's defensive snaps up front.

  • Labeled questionable for Sunday

    Jones (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones returned to practice Friday after being sidelined for back-to-back sessions to begin Week 14 prep. If he's sidelined Sunday, DeShawn Williams would likely be the primary beneficiary.

  • Practicing Friday

    Jones (shoulder) is available for practice Friday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones made his return to practice Friday after being unavailable for each of the Broncos' first two sessions of the week, making it likely that he plays Sunday versus the Chiefs. His status is still worth monitoring, and if he's held out, DeShawn Williams would likely take over at starting nose tackle.

  • Won't practice Thursday

    Jones (shoulder) was a non-participant in practice Thursday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Gabriel notes that according to head coach Nathanial Hackett, Jones is dealing with "discomfort," which is being managed. Although listed questionable for Sunday's game with the Chiefs, it appears that Jones' DNP is more precautionary than a sign of legitimate concern about his potential availability. However, if he were to sit, DeShawn Williams and Mike Purcell would likely see more prominent roles against Kansas City.

    Jones (ankle) is active Sunday against the Jets, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones played 48 defensive snaps last week against the Chargers but apparently sustained an ankle injury during the overtime loss.

    Analysis: Jones suffered a concussion during Denver's win versus San Francisco in Week 3, but he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of the Broncos' matchup versus the Raiders in Week 4.

    Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Jones (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones suffered a concussion in the third quarter of the team's Week 3 win over the 49ers and will remain sidelined during the first practice ahead of Week 4.

  • Takes the field

    Jones (undisclosed) took the field for OTAs on Monday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones missed voluntary workouts in April due to the injury, but his participation today suggests he's good to go moving forward. He signed with the Broncos for three years and $30 million in March after spending the first five years of his career with the 49ers. He should play a significant role on the Broncos defensive line this season.

  • Not participating in workouts

    Jones (undisclosed) didn't participate in Tuesday's voluntary workouts, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones signed a three-year, $30 million contract with Denver in March, but he's one of a handful of key players who is sitting out the Broncos' voluntary minicamp. It's unclear if the issue preventing him from practicing is anything long term. Jones spent his first five seasons in San Francisco and is coming off a career year, in which he posted 56 total tackles and two sacks.

    Analysis: Jones spent the first five seasons of his career with San Francisco, and he is coming off a career year during which he posted 56 total tackles and two sacks. He should serve as a reliable starter in Denver, bolstering its run defense in particular.

  • Returns to action

    Jones (ankle) returned to Thursday's game against the Titans, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Jones has had inconsistent production for the 49ers this season, but he's now recorded at least five tackles in each of the last two games. Across seven appearances since San Francisco's Week 6 bye, the 26-year-old has tallied 30 tackles (21 solo) and a forced fumble.

  • Re-ups with 49ers

    San Francisco re-signed Jones on a one-year contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jones was a reliable starter for San Francisco in 2020, and he's expected to reprise a similar role for the coming season. However, Jones' skill set doesn't translate to a role that's very valuable for IDP purposes. He had just 20 tackles (14 solo) and three sacks in 14 appearances last season.

  • Cleared for Week 15

    Jones (ankle) will play in Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Jones will return to the lineup after missing last week's game against the Football Team. He's expected to start at defensive tackle. Jones doesn't carry much IDP upside, as he's posted just 14 tackles, two sacks and a pass breakup through 11 games.

  • Will sit Week 14

    Jones (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Washington.

    Analysis: Jones was labeled as doubtful entering the weekend, allowing San Francisco to preemptively ready alternative options at the defensive tackle spot.

    Analysis: Jones didn't practice all week and is expected to sit out for the second time in three games. Kevin Givens (personal) has been ruled out as well, leaving Javon Kinlaw and Kentavius Street to foot the bill at defensive tackle this week. Jones will look to return next week versus the Cowboys.

  • Ruled out

    Jones (ankle) will not return to Monday's matchup with the Bills, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones was originally called questionable to return, but it appears the injury is serious enough to keep him sidelined for the night. In his absence, look for Kevin Givens to replace him on the defensive line. It was reported after the contest by Barrows that Jones may be dealing with a high-ankle sprain, an injury that has plagued San Francisco so far this season.

  • Sustains ankle injury Monday night

    Jones (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday night's matchup against the Bills, Bob Lange of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The starting defensive tackle exited in the first half Monday, meaning Kevin Givens or Kentavius Street will be thrust into a prime role until he proves capable of returning.

  • Back to full speed

    Jones (eye) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

    Analysis: Jones suffered an eye injury during this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. It's possible he didn't return because the game was already out of hand, but he's apparently back to full health nonetheless. The 2017 sixth-round pick is expected to start at defensive tackle Sunday versus the Rams, and he'll look to build on the two sacks he's registered through five games.

  • Injures eye Sunday

    Jones was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Dolphins with an eye injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Jones' injury is unclear. It's always concerning when a rare injury like this pops up, but there should be an update following the game if he can't return. Kentavius Street likely will take over if Jones can't return.

  • Injury shifts from shoulder to head

    Jones' shoulder injury is not considered serious, but he also was diagnosed with a concussion from Thursday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Jones underwent testing on his shoulder in the past two days, and there was no structural damage reported. Head coach Kyle Shanahan even went as far as to say the projected starting defensive tackle would have been back at practice Friday had he not been placed in the league's concussion protocol. Head injuries can lead to lengthy layoffs as well, but at least Jones' shoulder doesn't appear to be an issue moving forward. Shanahan believes the 25-year-old will be back in plenty of time before…read more

  • Suffers shoulder injury in practice

    Jones suffered a shoulder injury in practice Thursday, Cam Inman of The Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Jones left practice after 30 minutes but head coach Kyle Shanahan had no immediate update afterward. If the starting nose tackle is forced to miss time, Javon Kinlaw could see his profile on the 49ers' interior defensive line expand.

  • Back to full health

    Jones said Thursday that his ankle is "100 percent" healthy, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones suffered a season-ending ankle injury early December, but he's already resumed running and cutting without issue and looks fully recovered. The 25-year-old has handled a key rotational role along San Francisco's interior defensive line since joining the team as a sixth-round pick in 2017, and he stands to reprise a similar gig for 2020.

  • Potentially season-ending injury

    Jones may have a season-ending ankle injury, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Jones logged 33 of a possible 72 defensive snaps in this past Sunday's win over the Saints, but the 24-year-old defensive end suffered a "significant" ankle injury during the contest, according to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area. Coach Kyle Shanahan relayed that it's a different ankle than the one he dealt with earlier this season. At this point, Jones is likely to at least sit out Sunday against the Falcons, but we await an official diagnosis.

  • Leaves game Sunday

    Jones (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Jones picked up the ankle issue, but he was forced to leave the game early in the fourth quarter. As long as Jones nurses the injury, look for Sheldon Day and Jullian Taylor to be the likely beneficiaries to see an increase in defensive tackle reps.

  • Practices as limited participant

    Jones (groin) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones suffered the injury Week 10 and didn't play last Sunday against the Cardinals. The 24-year-old will likely need to practice fully by Friday if he's going to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Packers.

  • Out for Week 11

    Jones (groin) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Jones recorded a sack in the first quarter of Monday night's loss to the Seahawks but only played nine defensive snaps as a result of the injury. He is set for an MRI, and it is likely not a good sign that he's been ruled out for at least one week before even getting test results back. Sheldon Day and Solomon Thomas are the likely beneficiaries while the 24-year-old sits.

  • Won't return Monday

    Jones (groin) was officially ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Seattle.

    Analysis: Jones left Monday's game during the second quarter with the groin issue and headed to the locker room for treatment. As evidenced by this news, the injury is serious enough to force him to miss the rest of the game, and Solomon Thomas should continue to work along the defensive front for the 49ers. It's possible that the team will have a more definitive word on the injury following the game or in the coming days.
