Jones (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Jones struggled with rib and chest injuries over the past month, and there's no indication that his current condition is related. The 31-year-old has only played four games this year. Bobby McCain (shoulder) was placed on IR as well, so Steven Parker and Eric Rowe are expected to assume starting duties.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Makes Week 11 return
Rotowire
Jones (chest/ribs) is active Week 11 against Buffalo.
Jones entered this contest with a "questionable" tag, but considering he was able to practice in full the last two days of the week, returning from a four-week absence was the most likely outcome. He'll resume his starting free safety role in the Miami secondary, and barring any setbacks, he should continue to serve as a useful IDP due to his regularly high tackle totals.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Hopes to play Week 11
Rotowire
Jones (ribs) said Wednesday that he's "almost 100 [percent]" and hopes to suit up against the Bills on Sunday, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, just as he managed to do twice last week. After a four-game absence, the starting safety appears to be trending in the right direction to retake the field. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice session ahead of Sunday's divisional tilt against the Bills.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
Jones (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Jones practiced twice in a limited capacity last week but was still inactive against the Colts, so this isn't necessarily a signal that he's making progress. Continue monitoring his practice status leading up to Sunday's matchup against the Bills, as he boasts solid IDP value with 21 tackles and a pass breakup over three games.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Won't face Colts
Rotowire
Jones (chest) is ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Colts, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Jones will miss a third straight game due to his lingering chest injury. The starting safety's absence will be a notable blow to Miami's secondary versus Indianapolis. Chris Lammons and Walt Aikens stand to play increased roles on defense in Jones' stead.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Pops up with new injury
Rotowire
Jones (chest) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Jones battled an ankle injury leading up to Week 6's game against the Redskins, but he was able to tough it out. This appears to be a new injury, though, and a DNP for the first practice report of the week is unfavorable for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Bills.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Big tackling day
Rotowire
Jones made eight tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Redskins.
Jones appears to have recovered from his ankle issue, though it's worth noting that he only played 75 of snaps on defense Week 6. Due to his high weekly tackling floor, Jones is a solid option in IDP formats while healthy.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Jones (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Jones was a limited participant in practice all week but anticipates suiting up Week 4, according to Alain Poupart of the Dolphins' official site. If the two-time Pro Bowler is indeed cleared to suit up, he projects for a starting role in Miami's secondary.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Affirms own health
Rotowire
Jones (ankle) said Wednesday that he's feeling healthy and anticipates playing Sunday versus the Chargers, Alain Poupart of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Jones practiced in some capacity Wednesday, his first participation in three weeks. While the two-time Pro Bowler appears confident that he'll retake the field Week 4, it appears possible that he could be limited in some extent. With Minkah Fitzpatrick now in Pittsburgh, Jones is likely to play a starting role in Miami's secondary when back to full health.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Almost ready to practice
Rotowire
Jones (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, but coach Brian Flores said he's "close" to returning, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Even if Jones returns to practice in some capacity like Flores says, it's no guarantee that he'll be ready for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys. Jones will have more opportunities when he's healthy since Minkah Fitzpatrick was traded to Pittsburgh. The Dolphins also signed Doug Middleton to add depth at the safety position, and Middleton likely will see a respectable snap count if Jones can't go.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: No clear return timetable
Rotowire
Coach Brian Flores didn't provide a recovery timetable for Jones (foot) on Monday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones missed some practices last week with the foot injury and arrived at Saturday's scrimmage with his right foot in a cast. Flores said, "He's making progress, but he'll be back as soon as he can be," so the veteran safety's availability for Week 1 remains in question.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Out with foot injury
Rotowire
Jones arrived at Saturday's scrimmage with a cast on his right foot, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones missed a couple of practice this week and wasn't present for the start of Saturday's scrimmage due to the foot issue. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the 31-year-old appears as though he could be sidelined for an extended period. Bobby McCain should continue seeing work with the starting defense in his absence.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Caps season with pick-six
Rotowire
Jones (leg) logged three tackles (one solo), one pass defended, and one interception which he returned for a touchdown before exiting Sunday's 42-17 loss to the Bills due to a leg injury.
Jones intercepted rookie quarterback Josh Allen's final throw of the first half, returning it for a touchdown and allowing the Dolphins to momentarily tie up the game. He then exited the season finale in the third quarter with a leg injury. The veteran played well in Miami's secondary this season, despite some disciplinary issues, and ends his season with 69 tackles, eight passes defended and two interceptions across 13 games. Jones will enter the third year of his five-year, $60 million contract in 2019, and is likely to return as one of Miami's starting safeties.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Expected to sit first quarter
Rotowire
Jones will remain sidelined during at least the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Packers, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Jones will sit out the beginning of Miami's game against the Packers in Week 10 as an attempt to discipline the starting safety for his decision to remove himself from a Week 9 win over the Jets. It remains to be seen whether Jones will receive a full defensive workload when he does suit up Sunday.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Playing through torn labrum
Rotowire
Jones has a partially torn right labrum but will continue to play through the injury, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Jones missed two games earlier in the season as he battled the shoulder issue but returned for Week 5 with eight tackles and two pass breakups. The 30-year-old dealt with a similar injury to his left shoulder in 2015 but still managed to post/tie career highs in tackles (135), sacks (two), passes defensed (10) and interceptions (five). The veteran free safety could see limited practice reps as he continues to deal with the injury but he has already proven he can be a productive player when not fully healthy.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Eight tackles in return
Rotowire
Jones compiled a team-high eight tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bengals.
Jones had missed Miami's last two contests with a shoulder injury before returning Sunday versus the Bengals. The 30-year-old safety made an immediate impact, as he led the team in tackles. Jones has 18 total tackles and two interceptions in three games this season.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Active in Week 5
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) is active for Sunday's Week 5 tilt against the Bengals.
Jones' return to action after a two-game absence is especially timely, considering the Dolphins must deal with a high-powered Bengals passing attack in Sunday's contest. The Pro Bowl safety's presence was especially missed in a Week 4 blowout loss to the Patriots when Tom Brady lit up the Miami defense for 274 yards and three touchdowns.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Unlikely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is considered unlikely to play, Jeff Darlington of ESPN.com reports.
The safety's status will be verified as the 1 p.m. EDT kickoff approaches, but it looks like he'll miss out on a second straight game despite turning in two full practices this week. Jones' expected absence will likely open up extended snaps for Minkah Fitzpatrick once again.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Game-time decision Sunday
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Jones was a limited participant at practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session with the shoulder injury. Walt Aikens and rookie Minkah Fitzpatrick could both see increased snap counts if Jones is ultimately ruled out Sunday.

Dolphins' Reshad Jones: Nursing shoulder injury
Rotowire
Jones was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Despite being present at Miami's facility Wednesday, Jones was confined to the sideline for the team's first practice session of the week. The severity of Jones' injury remains unclear, but the Dolphins' practice reports Thursday and Friday should prove more telling toward his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders. If Jones is unable to suit up, rookie Minkah Fitzpatrick would be in store for increased snaps at safety alongside T.J. McDonald.
