DaQuan Jones - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Notches 3.0 sacks in 2025 Jones recorded 22 total tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks, two passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble across 12 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact The 34-year-old from Penn State was the Bills' most productive interior pass rusher this season, tallying his highest sack total since his 2017 campaign with the Titans. Additionally, Jones nabbed the first interception of his career in the Week 16 win over the Browns. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, the veteran will likely find work elsewhere ahead of the 2026 season following the emergence of 2025 fourth-round pick Deone Walker, who operated as the Bills' top interior defensive lineman for most of this season.

Good to go for wild-card round Jones (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card round game against the Jaguars.

Impact Jones has been cleared for his first game action since Week 16 after upgrading to full practice participation Friday following limited showings Wednesday and Thursday. He's expected to start along the interior of Buffalo's defensive line, as Jones did in all 12 of his regular-season appearances en route to 22 tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Limited in practice Wednesday Jones (calf) will be limited in practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Jones missed Buffalo's final two regular-season games due to a calf injury, but the veteran defensive tackle appears to be making progress in his recovery ahead of Sunday's wild-card round game against Jacksonville. If Jones isn't cleared to suit up on the road against the Jaguars, however, rookie second-rounder will stand to handle a starting role on defense again.

Won't face Jets Jones (calf) is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against New York, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Jones will conclude the regular season with back-to-back absences, as Buffalo prioritizes his recovery for the wild-card round of the AFC side of the playoffs. Rookie second-rounder T.J. Sanders will handle a starting role at defensive tackle as long as Jones remains sidelined.

Won't practice Wednesday Jones (calf) won't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Jones missed the Bills' Week 17 loss to the Eagles due to a lingering calf injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's still managing the issue. The 34-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Jets. If he's sidelined for the second consecutive game, expect rookie T.J. Sanders to have an expanded role on the Bills' defensive line.

Ruled out for Week 17 Jones (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Jones' calf issue has been lingering since mid-October, but after missing Weeks 6-9 he's been able to play in each of Buffalo's past seven games. However, he may have aggravated the issue Sunday versus the Browns, as the veteran defensive lineman wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week and won't play Sunday. Jordan Phillips (ankle) has also been ruled out, so T.J. Sanders could draw a start against Philadelphia.

Misses Wednesday's practice Jones (calf) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

Impact The 33-year-old played through his calf issue in the Week 16 win over the Browns, recording four total tackles and an interception across 41 defensive snaps. Jones likely needs to upgrade to full practice Thursday or Friday in order to avoid an injury designation in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles on Sunday.

Viewed as day-to-day Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Jones (undisclosed) is viewed as day-to-day, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones has dealt with a calf issue for most of the past couple months but didn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's win over the Browns before playing 61 percent of the defensive snaps. It's unclear if he aggravated the calf or is dealing with a new injury.

Past calf issue Jones (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.

Impact Jones was limited in Thursday's practice due to a calf injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The 33-year-old from Penn State is one of the Bills' top interior defensive linemen, recording 18 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble over 11 appearances this season. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start alongside Deone Walker on Sunday.

Downgrades to limited Thursday Jones (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Jones missed three games earlier in the season with a calf injury, and the issue seems to have reignited in the wake of the Bills' Week 15 road victory over the Patriots. The downgrade in practice participation from Wednesday's session does not bode well for the starting defensive tackle, but he will have one more chance to re-elevate his participation, expunge any playing doubt, and potentially dodge an injury designation for Sunday's road game against the Browns.

Cleared to play Miami Jones (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Jones missed the Bills' last three games due to a groin injury. He earned the questionable tag for Week 10 after ending the week with back-to-back limited practices, and he's done enough in pregame warmups to be cleared to play in Sunday's AFC East tilt. Jones' return means there will be less rotational snaps at defensive tackle available for Deone Walker, Jordan Phillips and Phidarian Mathis.

Questionable for Week 10 Jones (calf) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Bills coach Sean McDermott said Friday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, marking his first practice participation since he suffered a calf injury in Week 6 pregame warmups. The defensive tackle's status likely won't be determined until around 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 pm EST kickoff.

Limited Thursday Jones (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Practicing Thursday Jones (calf) is participating in practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones is practicing for the first time since suffering a calf injury in pre-game warmups prior to Buffalo's Week 6 loss to the Falcons. His participation level has yet to be revealed, but it wouldn't be surprising if Jones was eased back in, so his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins remains up in the air.

Won't practice Wednesday Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Jones (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The 33-year-old has missed each of the Bills' last three games due to a calf injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he isn't nearing a return. Jones is one of Buffalo's top interior defensive linemen, recording eight total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, over just five appearances this season. If he's sidelined again in the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins, expect Deone Walker to have an expanded role on the Bills' defense.
