Zay Jones: Let go by Houston
Jones was released by the Texans on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jones signed with Houston on Aug. 21 after completing a tryout with the team. The wide receiver caught one of three targets for six yards in the Texans' 16-13 loss to the Panthers in their preseason finale. Jones caught 12 of 18 targets for 183 yards over eight regular-season contests with Arizona in 2025 before ending the season on injured reserve with an Achilles tear that he suffered in Week 10. Now fully healthy, Jones will likely get another shot with a new squad in 2026.

Texans' Zay Jones: Joining forces with Texans
Jones is signing a contract with the Texans after completing a tryout with the team Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Zay Jones: Visits with Jaguars
The Jaguars hosted Jones on a visit Monday, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.
Jones is bouncing back from an Achilles' tear that he suffered in Week 10 while with the Cardinals last year, but the wideout's visit with Jacksonville suggests that his recovery is progressing well. The Jaguars' WR corps currently features Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Travis Hunter, so if Jones does catch on with the team he played for in 2022 and 2023, it would be in a depth role behind that quartet.

Cardinals' Zay Jones: Officially shifts to IR
The Cardinals placed Jones (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Wednesday that Jones suffered an Achilles tear during Arizona's loss to the Seahawks in Week 10, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, meaning the veteran wideout is ruled out of the rest of the season. He now faces a difficult road to recovery ahead of the 2026 campaign. Jones inked a one-year, $4.4 million contract to remain with Arizona last March, so he's scheduled to hit free agency in the upcoming offseason.

Cardinals' Zay Jones: To be placed on IR
Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Jones will be placed on injured reserve due to an Achilles injury, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Gannon didn't specifically say that Jones tore his Achilles, but he'll miss at least the next four games as a result of the injury that he sustained during Sunday's loss at Seattle. Through eight appearances this season, Jones has hauled in 12 of 18 targets for 183 yards and no touchdowns. Greg Dortch figures to take on a larger role in Jones' absence.

Cardinals' Zay Jones: Hurts Achilles on Sunday
Jones won't return to Sunday's game at Seattle due to an Achilles injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Jones went to the turf after an incompletion in his direction in the middle of the second quarter, and trainers specifically were tending to his lower left leg. After he was carted to the locker room, Arizona announced the nature of the injury. Through eight appearances this season, Jones has 12 catches (on 18 targets) for 183 yards and no touchdowns.

Cardinals' Zay Jones: Cleared to play this week
Jones (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Seattle, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
He played through the same injury last week, handling a 52 percent snap share without seeing a target in the 27-17 win over Dallas. Jones should be fine to fill his usual role as the No. 3 WR in a TE-centric offense.

Cardinals' Zay Jones: Limited again Thursday
Jones (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Jones' knee issue has impacted his practice reps since Week 6 prep, but he's been able to suit up for each of Arizona's last three games, netting 146 yards and no touchdowns on seven catches (10 targets) during that span. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not he heads into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at Seattle.

Cardinals' Zay Jones: Remains limited
Jones (knee) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Jones again is dealing with the knee injury that has lingered since Week 6 prep (in advance of Arizona's last three games). He's suited up for all three and combined for seven catches (on 10 targets) for 146 yards and no touchdowns while working with QB Jacoby Brissett. With Kyler Murray's (foot) placement on IR on Wednesday, Jones will be on the receiving end of passes from Brissett for at least the next four contests, assuming the wide receiver is healthy enough to be active himself.

Cardinals' Zay Jones: No targets in Week 9
Jones wasn't targeted during Monday's 27-17 victory at Dallas.
Jones emerged from the Cardinals' Week 8 bye with practice restrictions due to a lingering knee issue, and while he proceeded to log a 52 percent snap share that was in his usual range, he was blanked in the box score for the second time in seven appearances this season. Jones is firmly behind Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson in the pecking order at wideout, making him a hit-or-miss fantasy option.
