Rest-of-Season Projections
Estimated as DNP
Jones (ribs) was estimated as a DNP on Monday's practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones must have injured his ribs in Sunday's loss to the Packers, as he went into that contest battling some Achilles pain before being cleared to play. Jones has logged just four offensive snaps all season but handles kickoff and punt returns for the Bengals. If Jones is unable to play Thursday night against the Steelers, Jermaine Burton could get the call to handle return duties.

2023
Jones contributed the most during his rookie season on special teams, totaling 248 punt return yards, including a touchdown in Week 2 against the Ravens. He only played 44 offensive snaps, 21 of them coming in Week 18 when the Bengals rested many of their starters in the second half. With the Bengals drafting Jermaine Burton in the third round, Jones faces an uphill battle to earn an increased role in the offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could make early impact
Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic believes Jones will make the biggest immediate impact out of Cincinnati's 2023 rookies.
ANALYSIS
The Bengals selected three other players before drafting Jones out of Purdue late in the fourth round, but the slot receiver could be the team's most important rookie. Jones is expected to work as the return man on special teams, and he could thrive on offense if an injury to one of Cincinnati's top three receivers gives him the chance to step up. With Tyler Boyd set to hit free agency after 2023, Jones also gives the Bengals an in-house replacement for the 2024 season.
