BENITO JONES NEWS

Absent for personal reasons Jones (ankle/personal) did not practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Jones was a full participant in practice Wednesday, working through an ankle injury. Assuming that the personal reason for the defensive tackle's Thursday absence does not require his attention the remainder of the week, Jones should be set to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Jets. If the 28-year-old cannot suit up for any reason, Kenneth Grant will likely see a larger share of defensive snaps for the week.

Green light to play Week 13 Jones (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

Impact Jones picked up an ankle injury during the Dolphins' Week 11 win over the Commanders. He had additional time to recover courtesy of Miami's Week 12 bye, and after being limited in practice during Week 13 prep, the 28-year-old defensive lineman has progressed enough in his rehab to play Sunday. Jones has posted 12 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 10 regular-season games.

Impact The Ole Miss product practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week and played through his ankle injury in the Week 11 win over the Commanders, suggesting that he'll likely suit up Sunday.

Good to go Thursday Jones (oblique) is active for Thursday night's game against the Bills.

Impact The defensive tackle was listed as questionable Wednesday after being tagged as a limited participant on Miami's practice reports this week. Jones suffered the injury in Week 1 against the Colts and missed the Dolphins' Week 2 clash with the Patriots. In the opener, he played on 18 defensive snaps but did not record a stat.

Officially questionable for Week 3 Jones (oblique) is questionable for Thursday's road game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones has been officially limited on all three of Miami's practice reports leading up to Thursday's contest, though two of those were merely estimated sessions. After having missed Week 2 due to an oblique injury suffered during the Dolphins' regular-season opener, Jones appears to be a fair candidate to retake the field versus Buffalo. His status may not be made official until 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, however.

Logs limited practice Tuesday Jones (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Jones missed Miami's Week 2 loss to New England due to an oblique injury that he suffered against Indianapolis in Week 1. He's opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, and depending on his practice participation Wednesday, he could be cleared to return Thursday against the Bills. Rookie first-rounder Kenneth Grant will continue to see additional snaps at defensive tackle for as long as Jones is sidelined.

Ruled out for Week 2 Jones (oblique) won't play Sunday against the Patriots, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Friday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Jones was deemed week-to-week after getting hurt in this past Sunday's loss to the Colts, so it's no surprise that he'll miss at least one game due to his oblique injury. His next chance to play will come Thursday in a Week 3 trip to Buffalo. Rookie draft picks Kenneth Grant (first round) and Zeek Biggers (seventh round) could see more playing time at defensive tackle in Jones's absence.

Considered week-to-week Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Jones is considered week-to-week with an oblique injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Ole Miss product exited Sunday's loss to the Colts after sustaining an oblique injury, limiting him to just 23 total snaps (18 defensive and five on special teams). Jones was relatively unimpactful while on the field in Week 1, failing to record a stat prior to his exit. He likely needs to log at least one limited practice session throughout the week to have a chance of playing in Miami's Week 2 matchup against the Patriots.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
