Charlie Jones - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Out for Sunday Jones (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The third-year wideout from Purdue didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to an ankle injury. Jones appeared in 14 contests for Cincinnati this season, recording 1,084 kick-return yards and 115 punt-return yards. While he's sidelined in Week 18, expect Ke'Shawn Williams to operate as the Bengals' top return man.

Still dealing with ankle issue Jones (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Jones sustained an ankle injury in Week 15 against the Ravens, which has prevented him from playing in each of the Bengals' last two games. He's also been unable to practice, so he would likely have to log at least a limited session over the next two days to have a realistic chance of playing against the Browns in Sunday's regular-season finale.

Impact Jones is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to an ankle injury sustained in the Week 15 loss to the Ravens.

DNP with ankle Jones (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Jones missed last Sunday's win over the Dolphins with the ankle injury he suffered in Week 15 against the Ravens. The returner's inability to practice to start the week is a poor sign for his chances to suit up for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Jones will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and dodge an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game. If Jones misses consecutive games, Ke'Shawn Williams will likely continue to be the Bengals' starting kick and punt returner.

Ruled out with ankle Jones (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Jones left last Sunday's game against the Ravens with an ankle injury and was unable to log any practice participation in Week 16. The kick and punt returner's absence will give Ke'Shawn Williams a chance to shine as the lead returner in both roles, with Samaje Perine likely to take over Williams' position as the secondary kick returner.

Won't return to Week 15 game Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Baltimore.

Impact Jones was injured near the end of the second quarter and was deemed questionable after spending time in the medical tent. He was then ruled out after halftime. Jones didn't get any targets on offense, returned one kickoff for 20 yards and returned one punt for minus-2 yards. It remains to be seen who the Bengals will turn to on punt returns moving forward, but Tahj Brooks figures to take over on kick returns.

Questionable to return Jones (ankle) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact Jones exited the game late in the first half of Sunday's Week 15 game against the Ravens. The 27-year-old plays a majority of his snaps on special teams as a returner. If he is unable be available, Mitch Tinsley and Samaje Perine will likely take over return duties.

Logs full practice Thursday Jones (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Jones' ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is past his rib injury and on track to play against the Jets on Sunday. The 2023 fourth-rounder has mostly served as a returner on special teams and has recorded 423 yards on 18 kickoff returns and 78 yards on punt returns through seven regular-season games.

Still working through rib injury Jones (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones was cleared of a rib injury to play in the Bengals' Week 7 win over the Steelers, when he played two snaps on special teams and recorded a fair catch on a punt. He's still nursing the injury, but a full practice Thursday or Friday would put him on track toward being available for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Green light to play vs. Pittsburgh Jones (ribs) is active for Thursday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Jones saw his practice snaps limited on a short week due to a rib injury, but the 2023 fourth-rounder has been cleared to play in Thursday's AFC North clash. Jones has logged 423 yards on kickoff returns and 78 yards on punt returns through six regular-season games.

Chance to play vs. Pittsburgh Jones (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones was able to overcome an Achilles injury to play in Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers, but he picked up a rib injury in the process. He was able to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, giving him a chance to play in Thursday's AFC North bout. Jermaine Burton and Samaje Perine would likely serve as the Bengals' returners on kickoffs and punts if Jones is not cleared to suit up.

DNP again Tuesday Jones (ribs) was estimated as a DNP on Tuesday's practice report, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones has posted back-to-back DNP estimates to begin the week, putting his status in jeopardy for Thursday night against the Steelers. If Jones can't play, Jermaine Burton would make sense as the next man up to handle return duties for the Bengals.
