Jones (groin) was cut by the Seahawks on Tuesday.
Jones only appeared in three games for Seattle this season, and he's currently dealing with a groin injury that sidelined him for Week 8 against the Giants. The veteran corner will likely seek a new opportunity elsewhere once he can prove he is healthy.

Seahawks' Sidney Jones: Clear for MNF
Rotowire
Jones (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Monday's contest against the Broncos, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Jones' status has been up in the air since he sustained a concussion in practice Aug. 5, sitting out the entire preseason slate. He got back on the field as of Sept. 2, and he then followed up a limited showing at Thursday's session with back-to-back full practices to cap Week 1 prep. With his journey through the protocol for head injuries now complete and Artie Burns (groin) doubtful to play in the opener, Jones and rookie fourth-rounder Coby Bryant are the top candidates to serve as the team's third cornerback behind starters Mike Jackson and Tariq Woolen.

Seahawks' Sidney Jones: Could return for season opener
Rotowire
Coach Pete Carroll hopes Jones (concussion) will be ready to return in time for the Seahawks' regular-season opener against Denver on Sept. 12, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Jones sustained a concussion during practice Aug. 5 and was unable to play in any of the Seahawks' preseason games. The 2017 second-rounder has a history of concussions, so the team is exercising extra caution before bringing him back, but it's encouraging that a Week 1 return is in play.

Seahawks' Sidney Jones: Unlikely to play Friday
Rotowire
Jones (head) is not expected to suit up for Seattle's preseason finale against Dallas on Friday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Jones has been sidelined since suffering an apparent concussion during the Seahawks' practice Aug. 5, so his absence from Friday's exhibition would likely indicate the cornerback will sit out the remainder of the offseason. With the 26-year-old out once again, cornerbacks John Reid, Mike Jackson, Tariq Woolen and Jameson Houston should see increased opportunities to secure a spot on Seattle's final 53-man roster.

Seahawks' Sidney Jones: Fails to practice Friday
Rotowire
Jones was evaluated for a concussion after suffering a head injury during Seattle's practice Wednesday, forcing him to sit out Friday as a result, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Jones' absence Friday could be a strictly precautionary move at this point in the preseason as he is not currently listed with a concussion. The 26-year-old cornerback has worked with Seattle's first-team defense to start training camp, thus allowing backups Tariq Woolen and Coby Bryant to see increased reps with Jones out Friday.

Seahawks' Sidney Jones: Sent to Seattle
Rotowire
The Jaguars traded Jones to the Seahawks on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
According to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, the Jaguars received a 2022 sixth-round draft pick in return. Given Jacksonville's depth at cornerback, Jones may have been cut outright if it wasn't for the trade. The 2017 second-round pick hasn't played more than 322 defensive snaps in a season, and he's played a total of 31 games through four years in the league. Only 25 years old, Jones now steps into a situation that has plenty of uncertainty behind expected starters D.J. Reed and Ahkello Witherspoon.

Jaguars' Sidney Jones: Won't play versus Ravens
Rotowire
Jones (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Ravens, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Jones battled an Achilles injury for three weeks before returning to the lineup in last week's loss to the Titans. The fourth-year cornerback only played 56 percent of the snaps, and he couldn't get back to full speed during this practice week. Chris Claybrooks (groin) could return from IR and start in Jones' place, but Tre Herndon is on the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't be available. Luq Barcoo looks locked into a starting role on the left side.

Jones hasn't seen the field since Week 10 due to the Achilles injury, but he's ready to go for Sunday's divisional matchup. The 24-year-old had nine total tackles, an interception and a forced fumble in his last game before the injury and should reclaim his starting role at cornerback.

Jones (ribs) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Jones hurt his ribs when the Jaguars last took the field in Week 7, but it's encouraging that he was at least able to practice on a limited basis. He'll look to heal up in time to face the Texans in Sunday's battle of one-win AFC South teams.

Sidney Jones: Let go by Eagles
Rotowire
Jones was waived by the Eagles on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jones could never stay healthy following a torn Achilles during his final drill at his pro day, an injury that caused him to tumble into the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He played in just 22 games over three seasons, never seeing more than 350 defensive snaps in a given campaign. His draft pedigree will likely warrant a look from other teams, but it's unclear if Jones will ever regain the form that made him a seemingly first-round lock back in 2017.

Eagles' Sidney Jones: Back at practice
Rotowire
Jones (lower body) was back as a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The 24-year-old missed the past few days of practice with the lower-body issue, but as evidenced by this news, the injury wasn't considered to be serious. Now healthy, Jones is expected to battle Avonte Maddox and Nickell Robey-Coleman during training camp for playing time this season.

Eagles' Sidney Jones: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Jones is on track to suit up against the Vikings on Sunday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Jones said his lingering hamstring issue isn't as significant as the one he suffered in 2018, which caused him to miss multiple games, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The third-year pro's presence would be a notable boost for Philadelphia's secondary, considering that Ronald Darby (hamstring) and Avonte Maddox (concussion) are both trending towards inactivity.

Eagles' Sidney Jones: Practices fully Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.
Jones was active for Week 5 after being listed as questionable but didn't play a single snap as he makes his way back from the hamstring injury. The full practice Wednesday puts him on track to return to the field for Sunday's game at Minnesota, as Philadelphia will likely be without Ronald Darby (hamstring) and Avonte Maddox (concussion) once again.

Eagles' Sidney Jones: Day-to-day with injury
Rotowire
Coach Doug Pederson called Jones (hamstring) day-to-day Wednesday, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Jones exited the first half of Week 4's win over the Packers due to a hamstring issue and did not return. The extent of his recovery and participation in practice this week will likely determine whether he's able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Jets. With Ronald Darby (hamstring) expected to miss a few games, Jones will likely play a starting role if he's able to go.

Eagles' Sidney Jones: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Jones sustained a hamstring injury in Thursday's matchup with Green Bay and is questionable to return.
It's unclear how exactly Jones sustained the injury or how serious it is. The 23-year-old has seen his role increase over the past weeks with the Eagles' secondary dealing with a slew of injuries.

Eagles' Sidney Jones: Sees first-team reps
Rotowire
Jones was on the first-team defense for OTAs, suiting up as the team's No. 1 cornerback, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
With Jalen Mills (foot) and Ronald Darby (knee) recovering from injuries, Jones was able to step in and be the top corner in practice. The 2019 campaign is a big year for the third-year pro, as he's played just 10 games the past two seasons while dealing with Achilles and hamstring injuries to start his NFL career.
Jones (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional-round playoff game against the Saints.
Jones was a full participant in Friday's practice after having been limited Wednesday and Thursday. The second-year starter has missed five consecutive games due to a lingering hamstring injury, but he appears to be nearing a return to the field. If Jones is cleared to play in New Orleans, Avonte Maddox will likely return to a backup role.

Eagles' Sidney Jones: Listed as no practice
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) was an estimated absentee during Wednesday's walkthrough, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Although the Eagles didn't conduct a formal practice, Jones was unlikely to have practiced in full pads anyway. Jones will have an opportunity to prove he's capable of playing in Sunday's playoff game should he work his way back onto the practice field without any limitations. In the meantime, we'll have to wait until further notice before we can get a better idea of where he stands.
