Jones (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday's contest with the Cardinals, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports. Jones is likely done for the night after suffering a shoulder injury in the second half against Arizona. With Terell Smith (ankle) also ruled out, the Bears are rather thin in the secondary.

Jones is expected to start at cornerback in Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports. Jones will pick up his first start since the 2022 season as he steps in as a replacement at one of the boundary corner spots for Tyrique Stevenson (calf), who is inactive. Over his five appearances on the season, Jones has tallied four tackles and two pass breakups across 104 total snaps (10 on defense, 94 on special teams).

Jones ended the season with 23 tackles in 17 games played. After playing 440 snaps as a rookie in 2022, Jones played just 142 snaps in 2023. From Week 10 on, the cornerback played just 35 total snaps, as his role decreased from earlier in the season. Jones is an unrestricted free agent who will look to land a depth role at cornerback.
