In his absence, Eric Rowe will likely see an increased role next to Jevon Holland in Miami's secondary.

Won't return due to knee injury Jones won't return to Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a knee injury.

Makes six stops vs. Vikings Jones recorded six tackles (three solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Jones has exceeded 90 percent of defensive snaps in back-to-back contests, and in four of six appearances this season. The third-year safety also has two sacks on the season, and it's fair to say that he's emerged as a legitimate fantasy option in IDP formats.

Jones is now up to 36 tackles, two sacks, two passes defensed and one forced fumble through the first five weeks in 2022, and he'll now prepare for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings.

Impact Jones suffered an apparent chest injury during Sunday's 21-19 victory over the Bills, but his ability to practice in a limited fashion during both of Tuesday's and Wednesday's sessions indicates he'll be good to go in Week 4 against Cincinnati. The 24-year-old figures to operate as the Dolphins No. 1 strong safety Thursday night.

Limited in practice Jones (chest) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Jones was a non-participant in Monday's practice estimate, so this is a move in the right direction for the third-year safety. He played 90 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Bills, and there was no report of him suffering an injury during the game. However, if he were unable to play Thursday against the Bengals, it'd be a blow to the team's secondary.
