New opportunity with Arizona The Cardinals signed Jones to the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Jones spent the final week of training camp with the Texans but was unable to crack the 53-man roster. He's now with the Cardinals as a member of the practice squad and would be a candidate for elevation to the active roster if Arizona was in need of depth at wide receiver. Jones played in eight regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2025 before being placed on injured reserve in mid-November due to an Achilles injury.

Let go by Houston Jones was released by the Texans on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Jones signed with Houston on Aug. 21 after completing a tryout with the team. The wide receiver caught one of three targets for six yards in the Texans' 16-13 loss to the Panthers in their preseason finale. Jones caught 12 of 18 targets for 183 yards over eight regular-season contests with Arizona in 2025 before ending the season on injured reserve with an Achilles tear that he suffered in Week 10. Now fully healthy, Jones will likely get another shot with a new squad in 2026.

Visits with Jaguars The Jaguars hosted Jones on a visit Monday, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.

Impact Jones is bouncing back from an Achilles' tear that he suffered in Week 10 while with the Cardinals last year, but the wideout's visit with Jacksonville suggests that his recovery is progressing well. The Jaguars' WR corps currently features Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Travis Hunter, so if Jones does catch on with the team he played for in 2022 and 2023, it would be in a depth role behind that quartet.

Officially shifts to IR The Cardinals placed Jones on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Wednesday that Jones suffered an Achilles tear during Arizona's loss to the Seahawks in Week 10, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, meaning the veteran wideout is ruled out of the rest of the season. He now faces a difficult road to recovery ahead of the 2026 campaign. Jones inked a one-year, $4.4 million contract to remain with Arizona last March, so he's scheduled to hit free agency in the upcoming offseason.

Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. out vs. 49ers after surgery for appendicitis

Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will miss Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers after having surgery this week for appendicitis

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • Associated Press

To be placed on IR Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Jones will be placed on injured reserve due to an Achilles injury, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Gannon didn't specifically say that Jones tore his Achilles, but he'll miss at least the next four games as a result of the injury that he sustained during Sunday's loss at Seattle. Through eight appearances this season, Jones has hauled in 12 of 18 targets for 183 yards and no touchdowns. Greg Dortch figures to take on a larger role in Jones' absence.

Hurts Achilles on Sunday Jones won't return to Sunday's game at Seattle due to an Achilles injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Jones went to the turf after an incompletion in his direction in the middle of the second quarter, and trainers specifically were tending to his lower left leg. After he was carted to the locker room, Arizona announced the nature of the injury. Through eight appearances this season, Jones has 12 catches (on 18 targets) for 183 yards and no touchdowns.

Cleared to play this week Jones (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Seattle, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact He played through the same injury last week, handling a 52 percent snap share without seeing a target in the 27-17 win over Dallas. Jones should be fine to fill his usual role as the No. 3 WR in a TE-centric offense.

Limited again Thursday Jones (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Jones' knee issue has impacted his practice reps since Week 6 prep, but he's been able to suit up for each of Arizona's last three games, netting 146 yards and no touchdowns on seven catches (10 targets) during that span. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not he heads into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at Seattle.

Remains limited in practice Jones (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Jones again is dealing with the knee injury that has lingered since Week 6 prep (i.e in advance of Arizona's last three games). He's suited up for all three and combined for seven catches (on 10 targets) for 146 yards and no touchdowns while working with QB Jacoby Brissett. With Kyler Murray's (foot) placement on IR on Wednesday, Jones will be on the receiving end of passes from Brissett for at least the next four contests, assuming the wide receiver is healthy enough to be active himself.

Arizona's Jacoby Brissett earns another start at QB after stellar play; Murray's status unclear

Jacoby Brissett’s excellent quarterback play has given the Arizona Cardinals’ season new life

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • Associated Press

No targets in Week 9 Jones wasn't targeted during Monday's 27-17 victory at Dallas.

Impact Jones emerged from the Cardinals' Week 8 bye with practice restrictions due to a lingering knee issue, but he avoided a designation ahead of Monday's game. He proceeded to log a customary 52 percent snap share but was blanked in the box score for the second time in seven appearances this season. Jones is firmly behind fellow WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson in the pecking order at the position, making him a hit-or-miss option on a weekly basis.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Green light for Week 9 Jones (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Cowboys, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones has been working through a lingering knee issue since early October. His practice reps were limited Thursday and Friday, but he's avoided an injury tag for Week 9 after practicing without restrictions Saturday. Jones recorded seven catches (on 10 targets) for 146 yards in the two games prior to the Cardinals' Week 8 bye. Jacoby Brissett was the starter in those two games, and the veteran quarterback will draw the start against Dallas while Kyler Murray -- who is listed as questionable for Week 9 due to a foot sprain -- will serve as the backup if active.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again Friday Jones (knee) was a limited practice participant Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In the wake of the Cardinals' Week 8 bye, Jones continues to tend to the knee injury that has bothered him since Week 6 prep. With back-to-back capped sessions under his belt this week, he likely will need to log a full practice Saturday in order to avoid a designation for Monday's game at Dallas. If Jones is able to suit up Week 9, the question remains who between Kyler Murray and Jacoby Brissett will be under center, as Murray remains limited due to a lingering mid-foot sprain.
