Zay Jones Speaks With The Media About Impact Of Playing In The Preseason, His Comfort Level In The Offense, And More Zay Jones speaks with the media following practice at Training Camp on Tuesday, August 5th.

AUGUST 6, 2025 • AZCARDINALS.COM

First-teamer on initial depth chart Jones is listed among the first-team offense on the Cardinals' first unofficial depth chart of training camp, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Such depth charts need to be taken with a grain of salt, considering they're put together by media relations staff. Nevertheless, it's somewhat notable to see him and not Greg Dortch listed among the starters, especially after the former managed just eight catches and 240 offensive snaps in 11 games last season (as opposed to Dortch's 37 and 407, respectively, in 17 contests). Dortch operates primarily out of the slot, though, so the fact he's listed as the No. 2 behind Michael Wilson (concussion) indicates Wilson may have more of an even split between outside and slot reps in 2025. In such a scenario, Jones could take advantage as an outside option alongside No. 1 Marvin Harrison (knee/illness).

Re-signs with Arizona Jones agreed to a one-year, $4.4 million deal with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Jones recorded eight receptions for 84 yards in 11 games this past season following a five-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. The veteran receiver only recorded two starts and was primarily used as a fourth wideout behind Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch, a group that figures to see additional competition added either via free agency or draft picks in the coming weeks.

Career-worst campaign in 2024 Jones notched eight catches (on 11 targets) for 84 yards and no touchdowns in 11 contests during the 2024 regular season.

Impact Jones' season debut was delayed by a five-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy and a subsequent one-game roster exemption, but even upon suiting up Week 7, he logged two targets in four outings before the Cardinals' Week 11 bye and nine targets thereafter. Overall, he reached double-digit receiving yards in a game just three times for his fewest overall in a campaign since 2020 (154 as a member of the Raiders). The soon-to-be 30-year-old is an unrestricted free agent in March, so his recent lacking output may not equate to much interest on the open market.

Draws two targets in Week 14 Jones played 24 of the Cardinals' 71 snaps on offense and finished with a 13-yard reception on two targets in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Jones finished fourth among Arizona wideouts in snaps, with Marvin Harrison (60) and Michael Wilson (59) finishing comfortably ahead of him and Greg Dortch (27) narrowly beating him out. The 29-year-old had played more snaps than Dortch in both of the previous three games, but he went without a target in all of those contests. With Harrison, Wilson, tight end Trey McBride and running back James Conner all greater priorities in the passing attack, Jones likely won't have an opportunity to see enough volume to make a splash in fantasy over the Cardinals' final four games of the season.

Non-factor in Week 7 Jones failed to secure his lone target in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.

Impact Jones made his season debut Monday after missing the first six games of the campaign, albeit it in a limited role. The veteran wideout played just 11 of the Cardinals' 57 offensive snaps in the contest behind fellow receivers Marvin Harrison (48), Michael Wilson (44) and Greg Dortch (17). Buried on Arizona's depth chart as a member of an inconsistent passing attack, Jones should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Dolphins.

Full practice Thursday Jones (hamstring) was a full practice participant Friday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact After missing the first six games of the campaign, five of them due to a suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, Jones now has a clear runway to a role in Arizona's offense. With Marvin Harrison (concussion) and Michael Wilson (ankle) both limited to kick off Week 7 prep, Jones is getting valuable reps in team drills, which may translate to the field Monday against the Chargers.

Back on active roster The Cardinals lifted Jones' (hamstring) one-game roster exemption Monday.

Impact Jones thus is back on the Cardinals' active roster for the first time since the NFL handed him a five-game suspension Aug. 23 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. The ban actually was lifted last Monday, but Arizona was granted the roster exemption at the same time, giving them until this Monday to activate him. Jones then picked up a hamstring injury last Thursday, which seemingly was enough for the team to hold him out Sunday at Green Bay. The Cards play next Monday against the Chargers, meaning his health may not receive clarity until Thursday's practice report, at the earliest.

Won't play this week Jones (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game at Green Bay, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Reinstated from a five-game suspension at the beginning of the week, Jones will now miss a sixth game while nursing a hamstring injury. The Cardinals have a one-game roster exemption, giving them until Monday to place Jones back on the active roster. It apparently won't happen before Sunday's game, with coach Jonathan Gannon noting Friday that the wide receiver is dealing with discomfort in his hamstring after returning to practice Wednesday.

Limited by hamstring Jones (suspension) was limited at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Reinstated from his five-game suspension to begin the season on Monday, Jones then had a one-game roster exemption placed on him by the Cardinals, giving the team until Monday, Oct. 14 to bring him back to the active roster. Arizona released WR Chris Moore on Wednesday, thereby opening up an immediate roster spot for Jones, but the latter now is dealing with a health concern of unknown severity. Arizona can clear up any questions about Jones' status for Week 6 on Friday's injury report, but he'll need to have the exemption removed by Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET to have any chance to play Sunday at Green Bay.

Logs full practice Wednesday Jones (suspension) practiced fully Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Since he was reinstated from his five-game suspension to begin the season Monday, Jones has had a one-game roster exemption placed upon him, which gives the Cardinals until Monday, Oct. 14 to add him to the active roster. They seemingly plan to do so before then, as a spot on the roster opened up Wednesday with the release of fellow WR Chris Moore. In the end, Arizona must make a decision by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for Jones to be available Sunday at Green Bay.

Impact Jones opened the 2024 campaign with a five-game ban for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. With five games behind Arizona, the team can evaluate him in practice this week and bring him back to the active roster at any point in the next week, including in advance of Sunday's contest at Green Bay. Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday he's "excited about Zay adding in here. We'll find the right ways to deploy him, and he's a playmaker for us, can play all three positions, and he can make plays." Releasing Jones doesn't seem to be a likely option for the Cardinals, so he should make his debut for the team this weekend or in Week 7 against the Chargers.

Wide Receiver Zay Jones Returns From Suspension Team has a week-long roster exemption to decide on move

Impact Arizona is expected to request, and receive, a temporary roster exemption of one or two weeks for Jones, per Balzer. The veteran wide receiver received a five-game suspension back in August, relating to a Nov. 13 arrest. Jones will be eligible to suit up Sunday on the road against Green Bay, at the earliest, but it sounds like the Cardinals could wait a game or two to catch him up to speed. Once deemed ready, Jones figures to compete with Greg Dortch for work alongside Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson.
