Jones (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Jones struggled with rib and chest injuries over the past month, and there's no indication that his current condition is related. The 31-year-old has only played four games this year. Bobby McCain (shoulder) was placed on IR as well, so Steven Parker and Eric Rowe are expected to assume starting duties.

Jones (chest/ribs) is active Week 11 against Buffalo. Jones entered this contest with a "questionable" tag, but considering he was able to practice in full the last two days of the week, returning from a four-week absence was the most likely outcome. He'll resume his starting free safety role in the Miami secondary, and barring any setbacks, he should continue to serve as a useful IDP due to his regularly high tackle totals.

Jones (ribs) said Wednesday that he's "almost 100 [percent]" and hopes to suit up against the Bills on Sunday, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Jones practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, just as he managed to do twice last week. After a four-game absence, the starting safety appears to be trending in the right direction to retake the field. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice session ahead of Sunday's divisional tilt against the Bills.

Jones (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports. Jones practiced twice in a limited capacity last week but was still inactive against the Colts, so this isn't necessarily a signal that he's making progress. Continue monitoring his practice status leading up to Sunday's matchup against the Bills, as he boasts solid IDP value with 21 tackles and a pass breakup over three games.

Jones (chest) is ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Colts, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports. Jones will miss a third straight game due to his lingering chest injury. The starting safety's absence will be a notable blow to Miami's secondary versus Indianapolis. Chris Lammons and Walt Aikens stand to play increased roles on defense in Jones' stead.
