• Lions' Christian Jones: Another average season

  01/11/2021 • By RotoWire

  Jones recorded 57 tackles and one pass breakup over 16 games in 2020. Your proverbial jack of all trades but master of none, Jones followed up a solid 2019 campaign with another one in 2020. However, both the head coach and general manager that valued his versatility have been fired, making it possible that Jones has played his last game with Detroit. The Lions could save over $2 million against the salary cap by letting go of the soon-to-be 30-year-old this offseason.

• Lions' Christian Jones: Good to go for Week 11

  11/20/2020 • By RotoWire

  Jones (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Jones was limited at all three of Detroit's practices this week but evidently looked good enough to get cleared for game day. As a result, he'll be out there in his usual spot as a starting outside linebacker Sunday.

• Lions' Christian Jones: Held back at Wednesday's practice

  11/18/2020 • By RotoWire

  Jones (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Jones logged a pair of limited practices last week but ended up playing against the Football Team, although he handled a season-low 22 percent snap share on defense. Perhaps his knee injury caused the drop in usage, but his limited practice capacity to start the week bodes well for his availability in this Sunday's contest against the Panthers.

• Lions' Christian Jones: Active against Minnesota

  11/08/2020 • By RotoWire

  Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Vikings. Jones has logged exactly 51 percent of the defensive workload in each of the past two games, totaling eight tackles (two solo) in that stretch. He's expected to remain as the team's starting inside linebacker, however, and he'll have the tall task of slowing down Dalvin Cook.

• Lions' Christian Jones: Pops up on injury report

  10/02/2020 • By RotoWire

  Jones (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Jones wasn't listed on the injury report until Friday when he didn't practice. It's possible his absence was simply precautionary, but his final status won't be revealed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If he misses any time, expect Reggie Ragland to bump into a starting outside linebacker role.
