Jones (chest) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of the Super Bowl LX matchup against the Patriots, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Jones was a limited participant in Thursday and Friday's practice sessions, and the absence of any injury designation means the middle linebacker should be good to go for the Super Bowl. The 26-year-old will have one more week to recover fully, but being cleared a week before the game is a strong sign that the defensive captain will be playing.

Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Estimated as limited Thursday
Rotowire
Jones (chest) was a limited participant during Thursday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Jones is working through a chest injury that he likely picked up during the Seahawks' victory over the Rams during Sunday's NFC Championship Game, when he tallied eight tackles (six solo) while playing every single defensive snap. The Seahawks so far are limiting their practice sessions this week, so Jones' practice participation during the week leading up to Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8 will provide more clarity on his injury progression.

Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Inactive for Week 12
Rotowire
Jones (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
A knee injury limited Jones' practice participation over the last two days of Week 12 prep, and he'll end up being sidelined for the second time in three games. With Jones and Tyrice Knight (concussion) both inactive, Chazz Surratt is expected to step into a starting role at inside linebacker alongside Drake Thomas for Sunday's road game. Jones will look to progress enough in his recovery to return for the Seahawks' Week 13 clash against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Iffy to play Week 12
Rotowire
Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Jones popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a knee injury, and he had his practice reps limited during Friday's session, which earned him the questionable tag for Sunday's game. With Tyrice Knight (concussion) already ruled out for Week 11, Chazz Surratt would be poised to start at inside linebacker alongside Drake Thomas if Jones is not cleared to play.

Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Still dealing with shoulder issue
Rotowire
Jones (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Jones played through the shoulder injury in Week 2 at Pittsburgh and ended up leading Seattle in tackles, so it's likely the team is just being extra cautious. He could probably avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend if he can manage a full practice Thursday or Friday.
