D.J. Jones - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Logs 3.0 sacks in 2025 Jones recorded 39 tackles (21 solo), including 3.0 sacks and one pass defensed across 16 games with Denver in 2025.

Impact Jones' 3.0 sacks this season matched a career high set back in 2020 as a member of the 49ers. The veteran continued to operate as the Broncos' No. 1 nose tackle in 2025 as Denver's defense was once again one of the league's best. Under contract for at least the next two seasons, the 31-year-old Jones should continue to be a strong veteran presence in the Broncos' formidable defensive front in 2026.

Posts third sack of 2025 Jones registered seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense during the Broncos' 34-20 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact Jones was credited with his third sack of the season late in the fourth quarter, when he took down Trevor Lawrence for a minimal loss. Jones' 3.0 sacks match a career high that he set in 2020 (across 14 regular-season games) as a member of the 49ers. He'll have two more opportunities to set a new career high in sacks, and he has a prime chance to do so Christmas Day against a Chiefs team that is dealing with multiple injuries to the offensive line.
