Out Week 16 Jones (groin) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game versus the Browns.

Questionable for Sunday Jones (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Jones' groin injury has kept him out since Week 8, and he's now at risk of missing yet another outing. The second-year will likely remain the kick and punt returner if he's able to return against Cleveland but if unable to play, Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams are primed to be Cincinnati's top kick and punt returners, respectively.

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

Impact Jones has been sidelined for the Bengals' last seven games due to a groin injury, so Wednesday's limited session could be a sign he's nearing a return to the field. The second-year wideout from Purdue's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best indication into whether he can return in Week 16, when the Bengals host the Browns. If Jones misses his eighth consecutive game Sunday, expect Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams to serve as Cincinnati's top kick and punt returners, respectively.

Inactive Sunday Jones (groin) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

Impact The kick and punt returner got in a limited practice session Friday after missing the sessions earlier in the week, but he will now sit for the seventh straight game due to the groin injury. Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams should serve as the top kick and punt returners, respectively, in Jones' place.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could return in Week 15 Jones (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

Impact Jones upgraded to limited practice Friday after opening the week with consecutive DNPs, giving himself a chance to suit up for the Bengals' Week 15 contest. However, if the second-year pro from Purdue is forced to miss his sixth game in a row due to a groin injury Sunday, expect Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams to serve as Cincinnati's top kick and punt returners, respectively.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as DNP on Wednesday Jones (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Impact Jones has missed five consecutive games and doesn't appear particularly close to a return. Isaiah Williams has handled punt-return duties in Jones' absence.

DECEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Week 14 Jones (groin) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Cowboys.

Impact Jones will miss his fifth straight contest, allowing Isaiah Williams and Jermaine Burton to handle more returner duties for Cincinnati.

DECEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 14 Jones (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact Jones was limited in practice all week due to a groin injury, which has kept him sidelined for the Bengals' last four games. If he were to return for Monday's game, Jones would likely reclaim his spot as the Bengals' top kick and punt returner, otherwise those roles would be filled by Jermaine Burton and Isaiah Williams.

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to open week Jones (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Jones has been sidelined for the Bengals' last four games due to a groin injury. He'll likely have to log a full practice at least once over the next two days in order to be cleared to play against the Cowboys on Monday. Jones played in the first eight games of the regular season and logged one catch for five yards while adding 200 kick return yards and one touchdown.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up Sunday Jones (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Jones was limited Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing Friday and drawing a doubtful tag. The second-year wideout has played a limited offensive role this season but has been Cincinnati's top kick returner over the last four weeks. In Jones' absence, rookie Jermaine Burton may get more kick-return opportunities.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Week 13 Jones (groin) is doubtful to suit up Sunday against Pittsburgh.

Impact Jones was able to log a limited practice both Wednesday and Thursday but was then a DNP on Friday, and it's likely that he'll miss his fourth straight game. The second-year wideout hasn't played more than 11 snaps on offense in any contest this season, but he was working as the Bengals' top kick returner prior to getting hurt. That role figures to be filled by Jermaine Burton on Sunday with Jones out of action.

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still dealing with groin injury Jones (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Jones missed the Bengals' last three games due to a groin injury. The Week 12 bye appears to have helped his recovery process as he was able to log a limited practice Wednesday. Jones will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 11 Jones (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sunday will be Jones' third straight missed contest. He hasn't caught a pass since the Week 1 opener. With Tee Higgins (quadriceps) tentatively expected to play against Los Angeles, Trenton Irwin and Jermaine Burton will head back to the bench for the Bengals.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs DNP Wednesday Jones (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones has missed the Bengals' last two games with the injury. He's seen just 26 snaps on offense this season, catching his only target for five yards way back in Week 1.

NOVEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Baltimore Jones (groin) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.

Impact Jones has been listed as a DNP all week due to a groin injury, and as a result, the 2023 fourth-round pick will be sidelined for a second straight game. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 17. With Jones inactive, Chase Brown and Trenton Irwin will likely serve as the kick and punt returners, respectively, for the Bengals on Thursday.

NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely for Week 10 Jones (groin) has been listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Ravens.

Impact Jones missed the team's Week 9 win over the Raiders due to the injury and appears set to miss a second-straight game. His likely absence wouldn't impact the Bengals' offense, but it would leave them down their return man. Trenton Irwin would likely be cast in the role again, assuming Jones is inactive.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Draws DNP label again Jones (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Impact Jones picked up a groin injury in the lead up to the Bengals' Week 9 game against the Raiders, which was serious enough for him to sit out. His practice participation Wednesday will give a clearer indication on whether he'll be good to go against the Ravens on Thursday.

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as DNP Jones (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.

Impact Jones was held out of the Bengals' Week 9 win over the Raiders after likely sustaining a groin injury in practice earlier in the week. The second-year pro will almost certainly need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Tuesday or Wednesday in order to suit up for Cincinnati's Week 10 matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Sunday Jones (groin) is inactive for Sunday's Week 9 battle against the Raiders.

Impact Jones popped up on the injury report with a groin injury Thursday and wasn't able to practice Friday. That wasn't a good sign heading into the weekend, and the second-year wideout is now set to miss his first game this season. Jones' absence will be particularly felt in the return game, as he's been handling kickoff and punt returns for the Bengals and notched a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in Week 7 against Cleveland. Trenton Irwin and/or Chase Brown may be asked to return kicks in Jones' stead Sunday.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Jones (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The second-year wide receiver from Purdue downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he could be trending toward not playing Sunday. If Jones can't play through his groin issue in Week 9, Chase Brown and Trenton Irwin are expected to take over as the Bengals' top kick and punt returners, respectively.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pops up on injury report Jones (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones was able to practice in full Wednesday, but he was limited during Thursday's session, indicating that he may have picked up a groin injury during practice. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but Friday's practice report should provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Raiders. Jones has served as the Bengals' primary return man this season, but if he's unable to play, Chase Brown and Trenton Irwin would be the top candidates to handle kickoff and punt return duties Sunday.
