Jones (shoulder) returned to practice last week and was a participant again Sunday, and he appears to be in line to play in Thursday's season opener versus Baltimore, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Jones suffered a shoulder stinger in early August and didn't play in any of Kansas City's preseason contests, but his ability to practice of late suggests that the veteran pass rusher isn't at much risk of sitting out Week 1. An official update on Jones' status will come when Kansas City's initial injury report is released Monday.
