MARCH 22 • Fox Sports
Latches on with Dallas The Cowboys signed Jones to a one-year deal Tuesday, ESPN's Todd Archer reports.
Impact Following four years in Tampa Bay, Jones spent last season with Kansas City, rushing just 17 times for 70 yards and one touchdown as a deep reserve who was inactive from Weeks 1-11 before getting some run in the team's Week 18 finale. Jones will compete for a job behind Tony Pollard this summer.
MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE
Minimal impact in 2022 Jones rushed 17 times for 70 yards and a touchdown and reeled in his lone target for another 22 yards over six games during the 2022 regular season.
Impact Jones joined the Chiefs after his rookie contract expired with the Buccaneers following 2021, and he was unable to claim a sizable role after signing with Kansas City. Jones was on just a one-year deal, so he'll head into the offseason set to hit free agency again.

Paces KC in carries Jones rushed the ball 10 times for 45 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 31-13 win over the Raiders.
Impact Jones saw his heaviest involvement in the Kansas City offense of the season, as he out-carried both Jerick McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco. He was fairly efficient with his opportunity, highlighted by a long gain of 13 yards. Jones also found the end zone for the first time this season as he tallied a two-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. With Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) looking likely to return for the postseason, Jones could find himself as a healthy scratch moving forward.

Chiefs' O-line paves way for Ronald Jones' first TD of '22 Kansas City Chiefs running back Ronald Jones scores a 2-yard touchdown, his first touchdown in the 2022 NFL season.
JANUARY 7 • NFL.COM
Not involved versus Bengals Jones had zero carries during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Bengals.
Impact Jones made his mark on the box score in Week 12 but didn't enjoy similar involvement Sunday, logging just three total snaps. Both Jerick McKinnon (26 snaps) and Isiah Pacheco (25 snaps) are ahead of Jones in the pecking order, so there's not much upside at this point.
DECEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joins backfield rotation Jones compiled four rushes for 12 yards and caught his only target for 22 yards during Sunday's 26-10 win versus the Rams.
Impact Jones hadn't appeared in a game all season but looks set to join the mix with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) on injured reserve. He can be a factor both as a runner, and a receiver and likely slots in as the direct backup to Isiah Pacheco, while Jerick McKinnon serves as the Chiefs' primary receiving back.

Suits up Sunday Jones is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact Jones had been the odd man out in Kansas City's backfield, but with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) now on IR, Jones will rejoin the team's backfield mix Sunday. Until or unless Isiah Pacheco and/or Jerick McKinnon miss any time, however, Jones doesn't have a path to steady volume.
NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Don't Expect Too Much From Ronald Jones if He Plays Sunday Even if he’s active, Jones may not receive enough opportunities to contribute in a major way.
NOVEMBER 25, 2022 • KANSASCITY.COM
Could make season debut vs. Rams Coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Jones has a "legitimate chance" to suit up Sunday versus the Rams, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact Jones has been a healthy scratch the entire regular season, but with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) now headed to injured reserve, Jones could finally get a chance to suit up for Kansas City. In the event that Jones is active Week 12, he'll serve in a depth role behind Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon.
NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Inactive again Jones is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact Jones remains the odd man out in Kansas City's backfield for now. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon are slated to handle the team's Week 6 RB duties versus Buffalo.
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Healthy scratch again Jones (coach's decision) was ruled inactive ahead of Monday's game against the Raiders.
Impact Jones will be a healthy scratch for the second game in a row after recovering from an illness ahead of last week's win over Tampa Bay. As a result, 25-year-old will have to wait until at least Week 6 to make his 2022 debut.
OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Won't suit up Sunday Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Impact Jones dealt with an illness ahead of Sunday's matchup but was a full participant during Friday's practice session. However, he'll be a healthy scratch for the primetime tilt against Tampa Bay.
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ready to go for Week 4 Jones (illness) was a full participant at practice Friday.
Impact Jones will be ready to go for the Chiefs' Week 4 matchup against his former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That being said, he has yet to play a snap this season and remains firmly buried on Kansas City's depth chart.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to practice Friday Jones (illness) participated in Friday's practice, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact The extent of Jones' participation remains unclear, but it's encouraging to see him back after he was sidelined Thursday due to an illness. Regardless, Jones finds himself firmly behind Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon and has yet to be active for a game through the first three weeks of the season.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Misses practice again Jones (illness) did not practice Thursday, Herbie Teope reports.
Impact Jones missed his second practice in a row. Considering he is dealing with an illness, and not an injury, his inactivity may have less of an impact on his status for Sunday. More importantly, Jones is firmly behind Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon on the running back depth chart, and he hasn't been active for any of the first three regular-season games.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Won't practice Wednesday Jones (illness) will not practice Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Impact Jones has been a healthy scratch behind Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon through three weeks, and missing practice time certainly doesn't help matters for him. There's no good reason to believe he'll play at Tampa Bay on Sunday.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Won't face Colts Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Impact Jones has been a healthy scratch for all three of the Chiefs' games this season. The backfield will remain the trio of Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting again Thursday Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Chargers, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Like he was Week 1, Jones is the odd man out in the Chiefs backfield for a second consecutive contest. The team instead will roll with Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco at running back Thursday.

Report: Ronald Jones Making Chiefs' Roster 'Looking Okay So Far' More uncertainty surrounding a Chiefs-Jones partnership in the future continues to exist.
AUGUST 27, 2022 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM
On the roster bubble? Jones may be on the roster bubble, according to Nate Taylor of The Athletic.
Impact Rather than challenging Clyde Edwards-Helaire for the starting job, Jones reportedly has slipped down the depth chart and now left to compete with Isiah Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon and Derrick Gore for backup roles. Pacheco and McKinnon both took snaps on the first series of Saturday's preseason opener when Patrick Mahomes and other starters were on the field, while Jones didn't play until the third drive and finished with only one yard on four carries. It's not a good sign, but Jones still has practice and two more preseason games to make an impression, and the Chiefs could end up carrying four running backs. Taylor's estimate for The Athletic has the team keeping only Edwards-Helaire, Pacheco and McKinnon.
