Claimed by Bears The Bears claimed Jones off waivers from the Cardinals on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Jones spent his first three seasons in the league with the Bears but played fewer snaps each year before signing with the Cardinals in free agency. It didn't work out with the Cardinals, so now he's back with his original team. Jones adds immediate secondary depth with Jaylon Johnson (leg) nursing an injury.

Two tackles in preseason debut Jones (shoulder) recorded two solo tackles in Saturday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.

In 2024, Jones suffered a shoulder injury in Week 9 that forced him out for the rest of the year and eventually required surgery. He finished the season with 15 tackles (13 solo) and two pass breakups.

Recovering from shoulder surgery Jones underwent surgery to address the shoulder injury he sustained in Week 9 at Arizona, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Misses nine games Jones missed the last nine games of the season with a shoulder injury, and ended the year with 15 tackles in eight games played.

Impact Jones posted 47 tackles as a rookie in 2022, though he was pressed into starting duty often as the team dealt with injuries in the secondary. In the last two seasons, Jones has served as a rotational player. Of his 15 tackles this year, 10 came in the Week 6 game when he was called upon to start. The veteran will be a restricted free agent this offseason.

JANUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve The Bears placed Jones (shoulder) on injured reserve Thursday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Double-digit tackles in victory Jones tallied 10 stops in the Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact Jones took over a starting role with Tyrique Stevenson (calf) missing this game due to injury. When Stevenson returns, Jones will return to a depth role. Coming into this game, Jones had a total of four tackles over five games.

Drawing Week 6 start Jones is expected to start at cornerback in Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Over his five appearances on the season, Jones has tallied four tackles and two pass breakups across 104 total snaps (10 on defense, 94 on special teams).

AUGUST 15, 2023 • Data Skrive

Rotational player in 2022 Jones ended the season with 49 tackles and a forced fumble over 16 games played.

Impact Jones played mostly on special teams through Week 8, but when the Bears dealt with injuries at cornerback, he moved into a more prominent role. He played more than 30 snaps on just four occasions, but in two of those games, he posted tackle totals of eight and 14. He should continue to serve as a rotational player in 2023. He's signed through the 2024 season.

JANUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out with concussion Jones has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings due to a concussion.

Impact Jones presumably suffered a concussion during the Bears' blowout loss to Detroit in Week 17 and didn't practice at all during Week 18 prep, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. Kyler Gordon (groin) is questionable, so Chicago may be without two of its top cornerbacks for the regular-season finale against Minnesota.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Surprises with big game Jones tallied eight stops in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Jones stepped into the lineup with Kyler Gordon out, and ended up second on the team in tackles. Should Gordon miss time after Chicago's Week 14 bye, Jones could be considered a streaming option in IDP leagues.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Huge performance Jones notched 13 tackles in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact With Jaylon Johnson (quadriceps) sitting this one out, Jones played a prominent role for the defense, and he led the team in tackles. Of course, in a similar role last week, he posted just three tackles. If Johnson misses another game, Jones would be considered a volatile IDP option.
