Questionable for SNF Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Bills Radio Network analyst Chris Brown reports.
Impact Jones' participation has been trending in the right direction coming out of Buffalo's Week 7 bye, as he raised his participation with each subsequent practice from unavailable to limited to full. Friday's full practice wasn't enough to get the fourth-string running back off the injury report, though.

Returning to Buffalo Jones agreed to terms with the Bills on Thursday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Impact Jones has been a key player on special teams for the Bills across the last two seasons, but he hasn't recorded any touches on the offensive side of the ball. He should play a similar role in 2022.

Impact Jones suffered a knee injury during a punt coverage in the Bills' Week 14 loss to the Buccaneers, but he was able to return to the contest.

Not practicing to start week Jones didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.
Impact Jones doesn't have much impact in the offensive plan -- he's yet to take a snap on offense this season -- but he's one of the better special teams players in the league, and the Bills will be looking for every edge they can get in what should be a challenging contest this weekend at Kansas City.

Limited Thursday Jones (hamstring) was a limited participant for Thursday's practice session, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact We'll see if the Bills are simply managing Jones' ongoing hamstring issues after he finally returned to action Week 12 against the Chargers, or if he aggravated something the last two days. For now, we'll assume he'll be ready to suit up Monday against the 49ers in his special teams ace role.
