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.

Estimated as DNP Jones (ribs) was estimated as a DNP on Monday's practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Impact Jones must have injured his ribs in Sunday's loss to the Packers, as he went into that contest battling some Achilles pain before being cleared to play. Jones has logged just four offensive snaps all season but handles kickoff and punt returns for the Bengals. If Jones is unable to play Thursday night against the Steelers, Jermaine Burton could get the call to handle return duties.

Cleared to face Packers Jones (Achilles) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Jones upgraded to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions. He played through this injury in the Week 5 loss to the Lions and should handle his usual role as a special teams return man on punts and kickoffs against the Packers.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to open week Jones (Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones was dealing with an Achilles injury heading into the Bengals' Week 5 clash against the Lions. He was cleared to play in that contest and finished the game with 154 yards on six kickoff returns and six yards on one punt return (along with three fair catches) in Sunday's 37-24 loss. The 2023 fourth-rounder is still working through his Achilles injury, but he would avoid an injury designation heading into Week 6 against the Packers if he were to upgrade to a full practice participant over the next two days.

Good to go against Detroit Jones (Achilles) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game despite not practicing all week due to an Achilles injury. The 2023 fourth-rounder has been cleared to play despite the lack of practice and will continue to serve in a return role on special teams.

OCTOBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Jones (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

Impact Although Jones logged three consecutive DNPs during the Bengals' week of practice, he's got a chance to suit up Sunday. The Purdue product has tallied 238 total return yards over Cincinnati's first four games this season. If he's sidelined in Week 5, Jermaine Burton is likely to serve as the team's top return specialist.

OCTOBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Thursday Jones (Achilles) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to an Achilles injury, though he was able to work off to the side during Thursday's session. He would likely have to log at least a limited practice Friday in order to have a realistic chance of playing in Sunday's home game against the Lions. Jones has primarily served on special teams as a returner this season, so his absence would open the door for Jermaine Burton and Samaje Perine to take on those duties.

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

DNP with Achilles injury Jones (Achilles) did not practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's a new injury for Jones, who has played in all four games this season. He's seen just four snaps on offense for the Bengals, but Jones handles returner duties for Cincinnati.

Active at OTAs Jones (groin) participated during OTAs on Tuesday, Ryan Meyer of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Jones missed Cincinnati's last regular-season game of the 2024 campaign due to a groin issue, but he seems to be back to full strength with offseason workouts underway. He was involved more as a returner last season than on offense, something that doesn't figure to change much in 2025 as long as Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins remain available.

Won't play against Pittsburgh Jones (groin) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Jones was limited in practice all week due to a groin injury, and it appears he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to play in Saturday's regular-season finale. He'll end the regular season with one catch for five yards across eight games. Kendric Pryor and Isaiah Williams will serve as Cincinnati's return options on kickoffs and punts due to Jones' absence.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 18 Jones (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Jones has been sidelined since Week 8 due to a groin injury, but he has a chance to return for Saturday's AFC North clash after logging limited practices all week. Given the playoff implications, Jones might suit up for the Bengals' regular-season finale even if he isn't at 100 percent health. Jermaine Burton and Isaiah Williams would continue to serve as Cincinnati's kick and punt returns if Jones is not cleared to play.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed limited in practice Tuesday Jones (groin) was estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Impact A groin injury has kept Jones out of action since Week 8, though he's regularly been limited in practices over the past few weeks. While the second-year wideout wasn't playing a big role on offense prior to getting hurt, he had been serving as the Bengals' top kick and punt returner. Jermaine Burton and Isaiah Williams have been filling those roles of late with Jones out of action.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Saturday Jones (groin) is listed as inactive for Saturday's matchup with the Broncos.

Impact Jones' absence will mark his eighth straight game missed due to a groin injury. While he drew a questionable designation for the contest, he will ultimately not be able to play through it. As a result, Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams will continue to serve as the punt and kick returners for Cincinnati.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy to play against Denver Jones (groin) is questionable to play against the Broncos on Saturday after logging a limited practice Thursday.

Impact Jones has been sidelined for the Bengals' last seven games due to a groin injury he suffered in Week 8 against the Eagles. He was a limited practice participant all week and appears to be getting closer to making his return. Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams would continue to serve as the Bengals' kick and punt returners if Jones is unable to play.

DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Jones (groin) was a limited participant in the Bengals' practice Tuesday, Jay Jay Morrison of SI.com.

Impact Jones hasn't played since the team's Week 8 loss versus the Eagles but is now closer to making his return. If the 26-year-old ends up being able to play Saturday versus the Broncos, he will likely resume his role as the team's top return specialist.
