Jonathan Jones - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Strong production in 2025 Jones recorded 41 total tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding five passes defensed over 12 games during the 2025 regular season.

Impact Jones signed with the Commanders in the offseason after spending the first nine seasons of his career in New England. The cornerback missed four contests in late September and early October with a hamstring injury, but once healthy, he put together a rather productive campaign. Jones was able to secure at least 41 tackles for the fourth straight year and eighth time overall, while his sack of Tua Tagovailoa in Week 11 was his first sack since 2018. The 32-year-old is set to enter the offseason as a free agent, but considering his long track record of strong production, he'll likely have plenty of interested suitors ahead of the 2026 season.

Questionable with rib issue Jones (ribs) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Eagles, Ben Selby of the Commanders' official site

Impact Jones missed the Commanders' Week 15 win over the Giants due to a rib issue, but the cornerback was able to string together two complete practices before logging a DNP Thursday. If Jones can overcome Thursday's setback in time for Saturday's contest, he should reclaim his spot as the primary depth option at cornerback behind current starters Antonio Hamilton and Mike Sainristil.

Ruled out for Sunday Jones (ribs) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Jones was unable to log any participation in practice this week. With the starter faced with an extended recovery, Noah Igbinoghene will likely get an opportunity either as the slot or outside cornerback, depending on what Head Coach Dan Quinn wants to do with current slot corner Mike Sainristil. With Marshon Lattimore (knee) and Trey Amos (lower leg) on injured reserve, defensive back seems to be a prime candidate for practice squad elevation this week for the Commanders' defense.

Dealing with injury to ribs Jones did not practice Wednesday due to a rib injury.

Impact Jones logged an 80 percent defensive snap share against the Vikings this past Sunday but appears to have picked up an injury along the way. His level of participation in practice the remainder of the week should reveal if he's in danger of missing Sunday's clash against the Giants. Should Jones be unable to suit up in that game, Noah Igbinoghene could see more opportunities on defense.

Impact Jones sustained a hamstring injury during the Commanders' Week 2 loss to the Packers, which was severe enough for him to necessitate a stint on injured reserve. He was a full participant in practice all week, but his activation from IR indicates that he is on track to play in Week 7.

Impact Jones has missed the Commanders' last four games due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 2 at Green Bay, but there's a chance he could return in Week 7 after participating fully at practice during the week.

Practice window opens The Commanders designated Jones (hamstring) to return to practice from IR on Wednesday.

Impact Jones now has a 21-day window to be evaluated at practice without counting against the 53-man roster, within which Washington can activate him from IR at any time. Once fully recovered from the hamstring injury he sustained Week 2 against the Packers, Jones is expected to resume contributing on special teams and in a depth role on defense. If he's able to resume practicing in full immediately, he could return to action as early as Sunday versus the Cowboys.
