2025 Fantasy Outlook
After signing a three-year, $30.1 million contract with the Cardinals last offseason, Jones was expected to bolster the team's interior pass rush, but his campaign was cut short following Week 3 due to a triceps injury. He's topped out at 52 tackles (2022) and 4.5 sacks (2023) in his seven-year career, output that the 29-year-old may be able to replicate this season assuming he can avoid health concerns.

Signed a three-year, $30.1 million contract with the Cardinals in March of 2024.
Placed on IR with knee injury
The Cardinals placed Jones on injured reserve Thursday due to a knee injury, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones suffered a season-ending triceps injury in Week 3 of the 2024 season, and while he's fully recovered from that injury, he's now working through a knee issue that kept him sidelined for most of training camp. The 2018 third-rounder will be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, making Week 5 against the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 5 the earliest he can play.

Prior to signing with the Bears during the 2022 offseason, Jones wasn't a model of health, logging 14 DNPs in his first four campaigns with the Chargers. That said, he started all 34 regular-season games the last two years, responding with 101 tackles, including 7.5 sacks. Upon joining the Cardinals on a three-year, $30.1 million contract back in March, Jones will handle a similar workload as a starting defensive tackle in the desert.
