Deion Jones - Page 8 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Absent from injury report Jones (toe) does not appear on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact A toe injury limited Jones in practice this week, but it's not enough for the linebacker to miss his first game of the season.

Limited Wednesday Jones (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Jones hasn't yet missed a game this season, and that he's still practicing in a limited fashion would seem to hint that he's on track for Week 16. As long as Jones' practice reps aren't downgraded ahead of Sunday's road game against the Chiefs, he should draw his usual start at middle linebacker.

Gets to Brady for Week 15 sack Jones registered a team-high 10 tackles, including one sack during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact The LSU product registered two QB hits on Tom Brady, pushing his 2020 sack total to 4.5 with a second-quarter takedown of the Canton-bound signal-caller. That mark more than quadruples a previous career high in sacks for Jones, who has been deployed 50 times as a blitzer this season. In 22 starts between 2018 and 2019, Jones blitzed on a combined 41 occasions.

Yet another impactful showing Jones registered 10 tackles and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Saints.

Impact Given his fourth-quarter fumble recovery, courtesy of a Steven Means sack on Taysom Hill, Jones has now generated takeaways in back-to-back games. The 2017 Pro Bowler stands with 78 tackles, 3.5 sacks and two interceptions to his ledger as Atlanta prepares to face the recently shut out Chargers in Week 14. Austin Ekeler presents a unique challenge to Jones and Co. as a high-level pass catcher out of the backfield.

Superb outing against Raiders Jones recorded five tackles, a pass breakup and a pick-six in Sunday's 43-6 win over the Raiders.

Impact Jones was instrumental in shutting down the Raiders' run attack, as Josh Jacobs was held to just 27 yards on seven carries, while Devontae Booker produced six yards on five rushes. The middle linebacker came through for fantasy managers, too, marking the fifth pick-six of his five-year NFL career. He'll be in charge of slowing down Taysom Hill's run game when the Saints come to town in Week 13.

Sacks Taysom Hill Jones registered six combined tackles, including one sack during Sunday's 24-9 loss to New Orleans.

Impact The 2017 Pro Bowler has stepped up his presence in pass-rush in recent outings, collecting seven QB hits and three sacks in his past five games played. Jones has struggled in coverage comparatively, surrendering 11.3 yards per completion and already four touchdown passes against him in coverage this season. Up next is a matchup against Las Vegas, who offers an opposing quarterback in Derek Carr who is throwing to an uber-efficient 19:3 TD:INT on the year.
