Bengals' Charlie Jones: Getting in reps at training camp
Jones (ankle) is participating at the Bengals' training camp, Sam Greene and Jacob Sebastian of The Cincinnati Enquirer report.
Jones sat out the last three games of last season because of an ankle injury, but that doesn't seem to be bothering him anymore with training camp now underway. He'll compete to hold onto his role as a primary return specialist in 2026.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Out for Sunday
Jones (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
The third-year wideout from Purdue didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to an ankle injury. Jones appeared in 14 contests for Cincinnati this season, recording 1,084 kick-return yards and 115 punt-return yards. While he's sidelined in Week 18, expect Ke'Shawn Williams to operate as the Bengals' top return man.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Still dealing with ankle issue
Jones (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Jones sustained an ankle injury in Week 15 against the Ravens, which has prevented him from playing in each of the Bengals' last two games. He's also been unable to practice, so he would likely have to log at least a limited session over the next two days to have a realistic chance of playing against the Browns in Sunday's regular-season finale.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Won't play Sunday
Jones (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Jones is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to an ankle injury sustained in the Week 15 loss to the Ravens. The third-year pro from Purdue has appeared in 14 games this season, tallying 1,084 kick-return yards and 115 punt-return yards. While he's sidelined Sunday, expect Ke'Shawn Williams to operate as Cincinnati's top return man.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: DNP with ankle
Jones (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Jones missed last Sunday's win over the Dolphins with the ankle injury he suffered in Week 15 against the Ravens. The returner's inability to practice to start the week is a poor sign for his chances to suit up for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Jones will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and dodge an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game. If Jones misses consecutive games, Ke'Shawn Williams will likely continue to be the Bengals' starting kick and punt returner.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Ruled out with injured ankle
Jones (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Jones left last Sunday's game against the Ravens with an ankle injury and was unable to log any practice participation in Week 16. The kick and punt returner's absence will give Ke'Shawn Williams a chance to shine as the lead returner in both roles, with Samaje Perine likely to take over Williams' position as the secondary kick returner.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Won't return to Week 15 game
Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Baltimore.
Jones was injured near the end of the second quarter and was deemed questionable after spending time in the medical tent. He was then ruled out after halftime. Jones didn't get any targets on offense, returned one kickoff for 20 yards and returned one punt for minus-two yards. It remains to be seen who the Bengals will turn to on punt returns moving forward, but Tahj Brooks figures to take over on kick returns.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Questionable to return
Jones (ankle) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Jones exited the game late in the first half of Sunday's Week 15 game against the Ravens. The 27-year-old plays a majority of his snaps on special teams as a returner. If he is unable to play, Mitchell Tinsley and Samaje Perine will likely take over return duties.

Bengals' Charlie Jones: Logs full practice Thursday
Jones (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Jones' ability to practice in full Thursday indicates he is past his rib injury and on track to play against the Jets on Sunday. The 2023 fourth-rounder has mostly served as a returner and recorded 423 yards on 18 kickoff returns and 78 yards on six punt returns through seven regular-season games.
