Jones (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Jones said Friday that he plans to suit up, per Reiss, but a final determination on Jones' status may not come until around 90 minutes prior to Sunday night's 8:20 ET kickoff. The 2022 third-round draft pick typically operates as New England's primary nickel cornerback and punt returner.

Jones (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Jones has not missed a game this season and has only been on the injury report once this season with an elbow injury. It's unclear if his availability for a Week 16 matchup against Baltimore is in doubt, but Jones' potential absence would hurt the Patriots' secondary and special teams units.

Jones tallied 10 tackles (eight solo), notched five yards on two punt returns and recovered his own fumble Sunday in a loss to the Bills. Jones' tackle total was second-highest on New England in the tough defeat. The fourth-year defensive back's fumble recovery came after he muffed a punt in the first quarter, so he at least avoided what could have been a disastrous mistake. Jones continues to play a key role both on defense and special teams for the Patriots.

Jones posted two tackles during the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday. Jones was cleared to play after working through an elbow injury leading up to Thursday's game, though he tied a season low in both tackles and defensive snaps (38). The 2022 third-rounder is up to 45 tackles (31 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and nine pass defenses (two interceptions) through 11 regular-season games.

Jones (elbow) was a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice. Jones logged four tackles (two solo) during the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, but he appears to have come out of that game with an elbow injury. With the Patriots playing the Jets on Thursday, the third-year corner will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Week 11.
