Naquan Jones - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Claimed by Houston Jones was claimed off waivers by the Texans on Tuesday.

Impact Jones was let go by the Chargers on Monday, and he has now almost instantly found a new suitor in Houston. The defensive lineman has compiled 10 total tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed over eight contests this season with Los Angeles, and he'll provide the Texans with an additional depth option behind Mario Edwards and Sheldon Rankins moving forward.

Let go by Bolts The Chargers waived Jones on Monday.

Impact The Chargers jettisoned both Jones and running back Jaret Patterson on Monday to make room on the 53-man roster after Omario Hamption (ankle) and Hassan Haskins (hamstring) were both activated from injured reserve. Jones was a healthy scratch in Weeks 11 and 13, and in eight regular-season games for the Chargers he accumulated 10 tackles (six solo) and one pass defense. Assuming he clears waivers, Jones could opt to stay in Los Angeles as a member of the practice squad or look to join a team in need of depth on the defensive line.

Impact Jones is Los Angeles' latest addition to a defensive line that saw longtime pillar Joey Bosa be released to begin free agency.

Career high in sacks in 2024 Jones finished the 2024 season with 27 total tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed over 12 games.

Impact Jones signed with the Cardinals in late September, nearly matching his career high of 29 tackles in 2021. The defensive tackle did set a new high-water mark with 3.0 sacks and he'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, potentially looking for a new destination for his fifth NFL campaign.

Appears past thigh injury Jones (thigh) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Gershman was sidelined for the Cardinals' Week 9 win over the Bears due to a thigh injury. His ability to practice without limitations Wednesday indicates that, barring any setbacks, he should be able to play against the Jets on Sunday. Should he play, Jones would reclaim his starting spot at defensive tackle alongside Roy Lopez while Khyiris Tonga provides rotational depth.

Impact Jones got in a round of limited practices this week and was listed as questionable on the final injury report. With Roy Lopez back after missing Week 8, it'll be Lopez, L.J. Collier and Khyiris Tonga soaking up most of the snaps on the interior of Arizona's defensive line.

Questionable to return Week 8 Jones suffered a thigh injury against Miami on Sunday and is questionable to return.

Impact Jones headed to the locker room after getting hurt and was deemed questionable to return early in the second quarter. The defensive tackle has ascended to a fairly significant role after signing with the Cardinals in late September, as he logged at least 30 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the team's past three games while notching 2.0 sacks during that span.
