News

  • Past knee injury

    Jones (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Jones upgraded to a full session Friday after beginning the Vikings' week of practice with consecutive limited outings, indicating that he's ready to play in Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old pass rusher has recorded 7.0 sacks and one forced fumble in 13 games this season and is expected to cause problems for a struggling Seahawks offensive line in Week 16.

  • Begins Week 16 with two LPs

    Jones (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday.

    Analysis: Jones has been dealing with a knee injury since early December and didn't play Week 14 against Atlanta. He returned to action this past Monday against the Bears, though, and logged three tackles while playing 28 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps. It's not clear if Jones has had a setback or if the Vikings are simply managing the knee issue, though it's worth noting that he put together an LP/FP/FP practice progression last week and entered the weekend without an injury designation.

  • Past knee issue

    Jones (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

    Analysis: The Pittsburgh product missed the Vikings' Week 14 win over the Falcons due to a knee injury, but Friday's full practice suggests he's now recovered from the issue. With Jones back to full health, he's expected to serve as Minnesota's top backup edge rusher in a Week 15 matchup against the Bears on Monday night.

  • Limited at walkthrough

    Jones (knee) was estimated to be a limited participant at the Vikings' walkthrough Thursday.

    Analysis: Jones was forced to miss the team's Week 14 win over the Falcons with a knee injury, so his limited participation is a good sign. He'll look to increase his workload at the team's two practices prior to Monday's matchup with the Bears.

  • Inactive against Atlanta

    Jones (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Jihad Ward is likely to see an increase in defensive snaps while serving as a rotational linebacker behind starters Andrew Van Ginkel (thigh) and Jonathan Greenard. Dallas Turner will likely get a larger role as well.

  • Iffy for Week 14

    Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Jones has been limited in practice this week due to a knee injury he may have picked up during Minnesota's Week 13 win over Arizona. If Jones is unable to play Sunday, Jihad Ward would be slated to see an increase in defensive snaps while serving as a rotational linebacker behind starters Andrew Van Ginkel (thigh) and Jonathan Greenard.

  • Working through knee injury

    Jones (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Jones has been limited in the first two practices of the week due to a knee injury he likely picked up this past Sunday against the Cardinals. He would have to log a full practice Friday in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Falcons. In the seven games since the Vikings' Week 6 bye, Jones has logged 18 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks.

  • Pair of sacks in win

    Jones had five total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's win at Tennessee.

    Analysis: It's Jones' third game this season with multiple sacks. He now has 7.0 sacks this season after posting just 5.0 career sacks in his three previous seasons.

  • Two more sacks against 49ers

    Jones had five total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Jones has recorded two sacks in each of Minnesota's first two games and has five total sacks his last two seasons. The 2021 third-round draft pick wasn't thought of as an impact pass rusher, but he's benefited from the focus on other players amid a deep rotation. Jones played on just 34 of the defense's 74 snaps, so he may not get the volume of opportunities with which to come close to keeping up this pace.

  • Impresses down stretch

    Jones logged 32 total tackles, including 1.0 sack and an additional four tackles for loss, in 17 games during the 2023 regular season.

    Analysis: The 2021 third-round pick saw increased snaps on Minnesota's defense after D.J. Wonnum sustained a quadriceps injury towards the end of the season, and he took advantage of the opportunity. In the Vikings' final three games, Jones racked up 16 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks and two additional tackles for loss. The 26-year-old also saw the most snaps he's seen as a pass rusher in his career in 2023 (388) and finished third on the team with 32 pressures, almost 20 more than he had in 2022.…read more

  • Racks up nine stops in Week 17 loss

    Jones tallied nine tackles (five solo) Sunday in a loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Jones finished third on the Vikings with nine tackles in the defeat, recording his highest total this season. He also played on a campaign-high 95 percent of the team's defensive snaps after hovering around the 50-percent mark for most of the campaign. Jones' extended opportunity came as a result of D.J. Wonnum (quadriceps) landing on IR last week due to injury, and Jones figures to see plenty of work again in Minnesota's regular-season finale Sunday in Detroit.

  • Gets first sack of season

    Jones had six total tackles, including a sack and two additional tackles for loss, in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

    Analysis: It was Jones' first sack of the season as he played a season-high 52 snaps on defense. Jones could get more playing time and be depended on in the pass rush with D.J. Wonnum likely to miss time with a quad injury.

  • No tackles in loss

    Jones didn't have a tackle but had two QB hurries, according to Pro Football Focus, in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Jones was heavily in the mix as an edge rusher while playing on 40 of the defense's 68 snaps. He struggled against the run in the loss, so he'll need to improve to stay in the rotation.

  • Practices in full Tuesday

    Jones (illness) was a full participant at practice Tuesday ahead of Saturday's game versus the Giants, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After missing Minnesota's win versus Indianapolis in Week 15, Jones appears to be on track to return for Week 16. The 2021 third-rounder has tallied 19 tackles and three sacks through 13 games in 2022.

  • Out Saturday

    Jones (illness) is listed as inactive for Saturday's game against the Colts, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Jones came down with an illness Thursday, and it is bad enough to keep him sidelined against the Colts. His absence means Luiji Vilain could potentially see some extra snaps providing depth at weakside linebacker, especially if Danielle Hunter suffers any setbacks with his neck.

  • Comes down with illness

    Jones (illness) didn't practice Thursday, per the team's official site.

    Analysis: Jones didn't partake in any of Thursday's practice after popping up on the injury report with an illness. With Minnesota set to host the Colts on Saturday, the 6-foot-4 linebacker will now carry a questionable tag into this weekend's matchup, and his availability status could ultimately come down to a game-time decision. If Jones ends up sitting out, Luiji Vilain and D.J. Wonnum are candidates to receive added snaps behind starters Danielle Hunter (neck) and Za'Darius Smith.

  • Two sacks in larger role

    Jones had three total tackles and two sacks in Sunday's win at Miami.

    Analysis: Jones saw a large increase in playing time (38 snaps) on defense with D.J. Wonnum out with an illness and showed a spark in the pass rush. The 2021 third-round pick could become a bigger part of the rotation as a result.

  • Returns from COVID list

    Jones was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Jones should now suit up Sunday against the Bears after missing the Vikings' Week 17 loss to the Packers.

  • Hits COVID list

    Jones was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jones is now in danger of missing the Vikings' contest against the Packers on Sunday. If Jones is not able to clear protocols in time, Tashawn Bower will likely see a significant increase in snaps.

  • Clear of injury report

    Jones (knee) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Jones was inactive for Sunday's loss to the Cowboys but now appears to be past the knee injury. The rookie third-round pick has yet to make his NFL debut, though that could change soon with Danielle Hunter (pectoral) lost for the season.

  • Inactive Sunday night

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

    Analysis: Jones injured his knee in practice Thursday and sat out Friday. The Vikings will be without one of their depth options at defensive end for at least one week.
