Jones was released by the Raiders on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Jones, who has not played with the Raiders this season, was on the reserve/non-football illness list at the time of this transaction and also was arrested Thursday in relation to two violations of a domestic temporary restraining order. The league is aware of Jones' arrest and is "closely monitoring the matter."

Jones (personal) is listed as out for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports. For the second straight game, Jones -- who didn't practice this week -- will sit out due to what the Raiders list as a not-injury-related/personal reason. Rookie Tyree Wilson should be in line to start in his absence.

Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said Wednesday that Jones is away from the team's facility due to a "private matter," NFL.com reports. Jones' absence for the Raiders' first official practice of the regular season comes one day after he wrote in a since-deleted social media post that he no longer wanted to play for the Raiders. The veteran edge rusher is coming off a 2022 campaign in which he tallied 38 tackles and 4.5 sacks in 15 games with Las Vegas, but at this stage, his status for Sunday's season opener against the Broncos is unclear.

Jones injured his elbow in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Steelers and will not return. The extent of the injury is not yet known, but Jones was carted off the field after colliding with teammate Maxx Crosby. His status will be updated again when more details are released.

Jones had four solo tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble during Sunday's 23-13 win over the Seahawks. Jones earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his performance during Sunday's divisional win, in which he brought his season sack total up to eight. It was Jones' second time receiving Defensive Player of the Week honors this season, with the first having come as a result of his Week 1, five-sack showing against Tennessee.
