Lamar Jackson looks like a $50M QB, Jaguars step up: Bucky's Breakdown

Two sacks in Week 2 Jones notched three tackles (two solo), two sacks and one pass defense during Thursday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.

Impact Both of Jones' sacks came on third-down plays and ended with the Chargers having to punt. First, the defensive tackle flushed Justin Herbert out of the pocket on a third-and-1 play late in the second quarter and the quarterback failed to get back to the line of scrimmage. Jones' second sack came on a third-and-10 play in the middle of the third quarter, setting up the Chiefs' game-tying field-goal drive. After a slow start in Week 1, Jones stepped his game up in the primetime matchup and will look to continue his strong play against the Colts in Week 3.

Leaves practice with soreness Jones left practice Wednesday with a sore back, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Whether Jones is dealing with some kind of injury or just general soreness is still unclear, but the Chiefs certainly will be monitoring the situation of their All-Pro defensive tackle with a close eye. Tershawn Wharton should see increased work in Jones' absence.

Still in All-Pro form Jones totaled 27 tackles (18 solo) and nine sacks while also forcing a fumble over 14 games during the 2021 regular season.

Impact Jones earned All-Pro honors thanks to his efforts during the campaign, marking the fourth straight season he's been on either the first team or second team depending on the publication. He hasn't slowed down since signing a four-year extension with the Chiefs prior to the 2020 season and heads into 2022 with two years remaining.

Makes two sacks in narrow loss Jones notched four solo tackles and two sacks during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Jones brings his regular season totals to 27 tackles (18 solo) and nine sacks with only a matchup against the Broncos left to play. The standout defensive lineman also has five pass breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery on the year.

JANUARY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Clears COVID-19 protocols Jones (illness) was reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday and is back on the Chiefs' 53-man roster, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones' return to the roster was expected after he was spotted earlier Thursday taking part in the portion of the Chiefs' practice that was open to the media, according to Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star. Assuming the star defensive lineman is feeling fine from a conditioning standpoint following a pair of practices Thursday and Friday, he should be ready to handle a normal workload in Sunday's game against the Steelers. Prior to sitting out the Week 15 win over the Chargers, Jones had recorded 12 tackles, five sacks, five pass breakups, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble over his last six appearances.

Unavailable Thursday Jones (undisclosed) wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Thursday's game against the Chargers, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones was placed on the COVID list Tuesday and will miss Thursday's divisional showdown. Mike Danna and Alex Okafor figure to have increased roles for Kansas City in his absence.

Enters COVID protocols Jones was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Jones enters protocols just two days before before the Chiefs' divisional showdown against the Chargers on Thursday. He has yet to be officially ruled out, according to James Palmer of NFL Network. If Jones is unable to clear protocols in time, it would be a significant blow to the Chiefs' pass rush, and would lead to extra opportunity for Mike Danna and Alex Okafor.

DECEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Vintage performance vs. Dallas Jones notched five tackles (four solo), 3.5 sacks, one pass breakup and one forced fumble (which he recovered) during Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Jones turned in his most dominant performance of the season versus Dallas, whose offensive line was unable to come up with any answers with Tyron Smith (ankle) sidelined. The two-time Pro Bowler, who was quiet early in the season while regularly switching between defensive end and tackle, may now be finding his rhythm again. Jones' next task will be too keep up his momentum through the Chiefs' bye and emerge with a strong showing against Denver on Dec. 5.

Good to go for Week 8 Jones (personal) does not have an injury designation ahead of Monday night's game with the Giants.

Impact Jones was excused from the first two practices of the week but was back in full Saturday. He'll be ready for the start at defensive end once again.

OCTOBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses another practice Jones (undisclosed) was again a non-participant at Friday's practice.

Impact Jones had an excused absence from Thursday's practice and presumably had the same Friday. It is unclear what he is dealing with, but his status will have to be monitored ahead of Monday's matchup with the Giants.

OCTOBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Thursday Jones had an excused absence from Thursday's practice session, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact Jones dealt with a wrist injury ahead of last week's game against the Titans, but Thursday's absence didn't appear to be related to an injury. However, coach Andy Reid expects that the defensive end will rejoin the team Friday, so it doesn't appear as though his status is in jeopardy for Monday night's game against the Giants.

Will play Sunday Jones (wrist) is active for Sunday's contest against the Titans, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact As expected, Jones will be active for Week 7 after missing the previous two games with a wrist injury. The 27-year-old defensive tackle has registered seven tackles and two sacks through four appearances this season.

OCTOBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Sunday Jones (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Titans, but head coach Andy Reid expects him to play, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The defensive lineman was a limited participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to log a full session Friday. The 27-year-old defensive tackle has missed two straight contests, but barring a setback, he should be ready to handle a full workload against Tennessee. Through four appearances, Jones has posted seven tackles and two sacks.

OCTOBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Wednesday Jones (wrist) returned to practice Wednesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Jones has missed two straight weeks with a wrist injury, but he appears on track to return for Week 7. The 27-year-old defensive tackle got off to a hot start with two sacks during the season opener, but he accumulated just four tackles over the next three contests. He will look to return to his Week 1 form against a Titans defense that has allowed 20 sacks through the first six weeks of the 2021 campaign.

OCTOBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Week 6 Jones (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Washington, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports that Jones is close to returning, but it won't be this week, as he will miss his second straight game with the wrist injury. In his absence, Alex Okafor should again see extra playing time.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Wednesday Jones (wrist) didn't practice Wednesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Jones was sidelined from practice last week, but he was given every chance to suit up in Week 5. However, he ended up missing Sunday night's clash with the Bills and continues to miss practices. The 27-year-old registered two sacks in Week 1, but he has been relatively silent since, so the Chiefs may elect to shut down their star defensive tackle to get him healthy for the stretch run.

OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Can't go Sunday night Jones (wrist) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Bills, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Impact While the Chiefs wanted to give Jones every shot to play, his inability to practice all week was foreboding. Alex Okafor should see extra playing time in his stead.
