2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Moves to IR
Jones (triceps) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jones' injury is of the season-ending variety, according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site. His absence will be a blow to Arizona's defensive front, and lead to extra opportunities for Dante Stills and Victor Dimukeje moving forward.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Heading into his sixth year in the NFL and second with the Bears, Jones averaged 42.2 snaps on defense per game as the lead tackle in Chicago's D-line rotation. As a result, he averaged nearly 3.1 tackles weekly, which was the second-highest mark of his career. He also notched three sacks and a fumble recovery in 17 contests. Jones will be operating on an expiring contract in 2023 and should retain a similar role to what he had last year.
