Jones (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets. Jones logged two full practice sessions this week, separated by a Thursday absence due to personal reasons. The defensive tackle has had a reduced snap share since temporarily leaving the Dolphins' Week 11 victory over the Commanders with his persistent ankle injury. If that trend continues, expect rookie defensive tackles Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips to continue seeing larger shares of snaps.

Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. The Ole Miss product practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week and played through his ankle injury in the Week 11 win over the Commanders, suggesting that he'll likely suit up Sunday. However, if Jones is unable to go for the Week 13 matchup, expect 2025 first-round pick Kenneth Grant to have an expanded role on Miami's defensive line.

Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Jones is considered week-to-week with an oblique injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. The Ole Miss product exited Sunday's loss to the Colts after sustaining an oblique injury, limiting him to just 23 total snaps (18 defensive and five on special teams). Jones was relatively unimpactful while on the field in Week 1, failing to record a stat prior to his exit. He likely needs to log at least one limited practice session throughout the week to have a chance of playing in Miami's Week 2 matchup against the Patriots.

Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to an oblique injury. It's unclear when Jones suffered the injury, but he will be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's contest. Jordan Phillips and Kenneth Grant stand to see more rotational snaps at defensive tackle alongside Zach Sieler in Jones' absence.

Jones re-signed with the Dolphins on Thursday. The nose tackle played in all 17 regular-season games and started 15 for the Dolphins in 2024, making 24 tackles (nine solo). Jones, who originally signed with Miami as an undrafted free agent in 2020, also started 15 of 17 regular-season games for Detroit in 2023, recording 26 tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks. He should have a chance to compete for a starting job again in 2025.
