Put on IR
Jones (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones was a late addition to this week's practice report with yet another instance of a lingering hamstring issue, prompting the Titans to put the veteran wide receiver on injured reserve. The move will keep Jones out for at least the next three weeks, with the earliest possible return date coming Week 14 against the Jaguars. A.J. Brown will likely be expected to shoulder more targets, but expect to see Chester Rogers and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine pick up more snaps.

Listed as questionable for Sunday
Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones was added to the Titans' injury report after logging a limited session Thursday and then sat out Friday's practice, as did fellow key pass catcher A.J. Brown (knee), who doesn't carry a Week 10 injury designation. Fortunately for those who are considering Jones in fantasy lineups this weekend, Tennessee kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, by which time national reporters such as ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport may have provided updates on the wideout's chances of…read more

Added to injury report
Jones (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones, who didn't appear on Wednesday's initial injury report, was added to it on Thursday after logging a limited session. He's been managing a hamstring injury of late, so it's possible that his Thursday limitations were maintenance-related. We'll circle back on his status no later than Friday when the Titans reveal whether or not Jones will approach Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff against the Saints with an official Week 10 injury designation.

Returns with 35 yards
Jones (hamstring) had four receptions for 35 yards in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Jones returned from a one-game layoff due to a barking hamstring, finishing second in receiving yards on a night during which the passing offense wasn't needed much in the victory. A combination of injuries and a run-heavy gameplan have resulted in the 32-year-old taking a huge hit to his fantasy stock in 2021. With Derrick Henry (foot) now being sidelined for an extended period, we could see Jones start to get more targets in the second half of the season as the Titans rediscover their…read more

Avoids injury designation
Jones (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Rams, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: The 32-year-old missed the Titans' Week 8 win over the Colts with the hamstring issue, but he'll be back on the field Sunday after working as limited participant all week. Meanwhile, A.J. Brown (knee) is officially listed as questionable after failing to practice Friday, but if he's available versus Los Angeles, the team will likely lean heavily on the wideout duo, with star running back Derrick Henry (foot) on injured reserve.

Remains limited Thursday
Jones (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: That's Jones' second straight limited session, with coach Mike Vrabel having previously noted that the team plans to evaluate the wideout and the condition of his hamstring throughout the week. With that in mind, we'd expect that Jones likely will be listed as limited again Friday and approach Sunday night's game against the Rams listed as questionable by Tennessee.

Resumes practicing
Jones (hamstring) practiced Wednesday on a limited basis, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones didn't practice at all last week, so his presence on the field Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- is a step in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Rams approaches. That said, head coach Mike Vrabel previously said that the team plans to evaluate Jones and the condition of his hamstring throughout the week before making a determination on the wideout's status ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Continues to manage hamstring issue
Titans head coach Mike Vrabel suggested Wednesday that Jones' status for Sunday's game against the Rams will hinge on how the wideout's hamstring responds over the next couple days of practice, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
Analysis: Jones didn't practice last week before being ruled out ahead of the Titans' win over the Colts. Vrabel didn't reveal whether Jones is on track to practice Wednesday, but the wideout seemingly has a chance of returning to action Week 9.

Won't play Sunday
Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Jones was unable to practice this week due to the hamstring injury and will miss his third game of the season. Top wideout A.J. Brown could see even more targets in his absence, while Chester Rogers (groin), Josh Reynolds (illness) and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are all candidates for added playing time.

Not spotted at practice Friday
Jones (hamstring) wasn't spotted during the open portion of Friday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: After logging DNPs Wednesday and Thursday, Jones' absence from the early portion of Friday's session is notable. The Titans' final injury report of the week will reveal whether Jones heads into the weekend with a chance to play Sunday against the Colts, but at this stage an official "questionable" listing probably represents a best-case scenario for the veteran wideout.

Not spotted at practice
Jones (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones didn't practice Wednesday, either, so what he's able to do at practice Friday will be pivotal with regard to his Week 8 status. For now, consider the Titans' starting wideout questionable for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET contest against the Colts.

Missing from practice
Jones (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though he headed into last Sunday's game listed as questionable with the same injury, Jones suited up for the Titans' 27-3 win and played 29 snaps while catching two of his four targets for 38 yards. With no indication that he suffered a setback coming out of that game, Jones' absence from practice Wednesday may have been for maintenance purposes more than anything.

Only two catches
Jones recorded two receptions on four targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Jones got off to a hot start, logging receptions on each of the team's first two possessions. However, he was uninvolved from there, in part due to game script as Ryan Tannehill attempted only seven passes in the second half. Though he reportedly felt healthy entering the matchup, Jones has now recorded three or fewer receptions in four of the five games for which he has been active this season.

Suiting up Sunday
Jones (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones, who has been dealing with a hamstring issue since Week 3, was able to play in Monday's win over the Bills, though he exited the contest in the fourth quarter after recording three catches for 59 yards on five targets. Following an absence from practice Wednesday, Jones logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday, setting the stage for him to suit up Sunday. As long as he avoids any in-game setbacks, Jones is in line to head the Titans' Week 7 wideout corps alongside A.J. Brown, who…read more

Expected to play in Week 7
Jones (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against Kansas City despite being listed as questionable, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jones, who exited Monday's win over the Bills in the fourth quarter, took the questionable tag into the weekend after practicing in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday. The wideout -- who has been dealing with a hamstring issue since Week 3 -- has expressed optimism that he'll be able to play Sunday, and he should be good to go if he avoids any setbacks while warming up .

Hopeful regarding Sunday's status
Jones (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but he expressed optimism that he'll play this weekend, Ben Arthur of The Nashville Tennessean reports. "I feel great," the wideout said Friday. "I feel good. I'm excited about Sunday."
Analysis: After being forced out of the Titans' win over Buffalo this past Monday with a hamstring issue, Jones -- who was sidelined in Weeks 4 and 5, also with a hamstring injury -- proceeded to miss practice Wednesday. However, after logging limited sessions both Thursday and Friday, he looks to be trending toward active status this weekend. Fortunately for those considering Jones in Week 7 fantasy lineups, the Titans and Chiefs kick off among the early wave of games at 1 p.m. ET.

Iffy for Week 7
Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Weeks 4 and 5 with a hamstring injury, Jones was cleared to play in Monday's 34-31 win over the Bills, only to exit that contest in the fourth quarter after churning out three receptions for 59 yards on five targets. Whether Jones experienced a setback with the previous injury isn't totally clear, but regardless, this latest iteration of the hamstring issue doesn't appear to be quite as significant. After sitting out Wednesday's practice, Jones was back on the field in a…read more

Back at practice Thursday
Jones (hamstring) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones, who left this past Monday's game against the Bills early, didn't practice Wednesday, so his return to the field Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity, is a promising development with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against Kansas City. Meanwhile, fellow WRs A.J. Brown (illness) and Chester Rogers (groin) didn't practice Thursday, which sets the stage for the trio's participation levels Friday (and official final Week 7 injury designations) to be worth monitoring closely.

Jones (hamstring) was spotted at practice Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It remains to be seen how the Titans list his participation level, but Jones' return to the field Thursday, in any capacity, offers hope that he'll be able to suit up this weekend against Kansas City. With A.J. Brown (illness) having appeared to log another absence Thursday, the composition of Tennessee's Week 7 wideout corps remains uncertain at this stage, though Friday's final injury report will shed a degree of added clarity on that front.

Misses Wednesday's practice
Jones (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Also missing from practice was fellow wideout A.J. Brown (illness), but Jones' status in particular needs to be monitored given that he exited Monday's win over the Bills with a hamstring injury. Whether Jones' current hamstring issue is new or an aggravation of the one that previously sidelined him for Weeks 4 and 5, his availability for Sunday's game against the Chiefs is currently cloudy.

Out with hamstring issue
Jones has been ruled out for the rest of Monday night's game against the Bills due to a hamstring injury, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Analysis: Jones hobbled off the field midway through the fourth quarter and was quickly ruled out. He's missed the last two games as a result of a hamstring injury and appears to have suffered a setback. Chester Rogers, Marcus Johnson and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine could see more work at wideout down the stretch as a result.

Logs full practice
Jones (hamstring) returned to a full practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones, who missed the Titans' last two games, thus is on track to return to action Monday night against the Bills. In the process, look for him to reclaim his starting role opposite A.J. Brown (hamstring), who also practiced fully Thursday. Having the team's top WR duo on the field for Week 6 action should provide a welcome boost to a Titans attack that will be facing a tough Buffalo pass defense that has limited opponents to an average of 173.4 yards per game via the air to date.

Analysis: He'll presumably be a limited participant after missing the past two weeks, but Jones appeared to be moving around well during the portion of the practice that was open to the media. Jones will also have an extra day to prepare this week, with the Titans hosting the Bills on Monday.

Analysis: Tennessee ruled Jones out for a second straight game after he failed to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday while he remains bothered by the hamstring injury. On a positive note, Vrabel told Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site that he expects A.J. Brown (hamstring) to return from a one-game absence this weekend, and the wideout could be in store for a larger target share than normal with Jones out of the picture.

Still not practicing

Analysis: The Titans will release their final Week 5 injury report later Friday, which will reveal whether Jones has any chance of suiting up Sunday against the Jaguars. After not practicing all week, Jones is likely trending toward missing the contest. On the plus side for the Titans, starting wideout A.J.

While Jones hasn't taken part in either of the Titans' two practices this week, Brown is on the field for the second day in a row, and Westbrook-Ikhine is back at work Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session.

Analysis: Jones still has a couple more chances to rejoin his teammates on the practice field in advance of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, but he appears to be further behind in his recovery from his hamstring injury than fellow starting wideout A.J. Brown, who was on the field Wednesday. Both players were inactive in this past Sunday's loss to the Jets, which led to more opportunities for Chester Rogers, Josh Reynolds and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Ruled out, along with AJB
Jones (hamstring) and A.J. Brown (hamstring) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Analysis: Brown was a long shot all along, but there was some hope Jones would be able to play, considering he took a handful of snaps last week even after he'd hurt his hamstring. With both wideouts now officially sidelined, the Titans will turn to some combination of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Josh Reynolds, Cameron Batson and Racey McMath for wideout snaps, while Chester Rogers figures to work the slot again.

Analysis: While he never officially left the game, Jones played only six snaps in the second half of Sunday's 25-16 win over the Colts. He's reportedly receiving treatment Wednesday for a leg injury, with the Titans unsure if either Jones or Brown will be ready for Sunday's game against the Jets.

May be tending to injury
Titans head coach Mike Vrabel suggested after Sunday's 25-16 win over the Colts that Jones may have picked up an injury during the contest, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports. "Guys go through games, guys get tight and I felt like it was in the best interest of our football game that he be available in case of emergency [only]," Vrabel said.
Analysis: Jones played a season-low 33 snaps (51 percent of the Titans' total offensive plays) in the contest, and Vrabel's comments point to the wideout's lack of usage being more the result of injury than dissatisfaction with his performance. While Vrabel didn't specify why Jones was supposedly only available "in case of emergency" late in the contest, Nick Lombardi of MusicCityMiracles.com relays that the star receiver appeared to land awkwardly on his left knee while converting a fourth-down…read more

Analysis: Jones couldn't approach last week's stellar output despite seeing teammate A.J. Brown (hamstring) exit early on. Although Jones went for a long catch of 25 yards and still led Tennessee in targets, the team's receiving touchdowns went to lesser-known options Chester Rogers, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Jeremy McNichols.

Jones recorded six receptions on eight targets for 128 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Jones bounced back in a big way from a disappointing debut with the Titans in Week 1. He tallied five receptions of 15 yards or more, highlighted by a 51-yard gain early in the second quarter. The only thing missing from his box score was a touchdown, though he just missed getting two feet down in the back of the end zone on a drive immediately prior to halftime. While Jones and A.J.

Poor 2021 debut
Jones caught three receptions for 29 yards on six targets against Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: The Tennessee offense fell apart against the Cardinals, and Jones' numbers suffered as a result. For Jones to catch just three passes for 29 yards against the Cardinals' weak cornerback personnel was almost unthinkable, especially considering Tennessee fell behind big early in the game. Jones is likely still a top talent at receiver -- he was immensely effective in 2020 -- but the Titans have some things they need to figure out as they hit the road to Seattle for Week 2.

Jones (undisclosed) isn't listed on Titans' injury report for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: On the other hand, fellow wideout A.J. Brown (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, though it won't come as any surprise if he returns Thursday or Friday and ultimately suits up for Sunday's game. Both Brown and Jones missed practice time throughout the summer with injuries, as did quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who spent time on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Gets in more practice work
Jones (undisclosed) was seen running routes during Monday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones has slowly ramped up his activity within the last week, first running sprints and later getting in a limited practice. He didn't see any snaps during the preseason, so he'll have to get ready for a Week 1 matchup with the Cardinals with practice reps. Given his veteran status, that shouldn't be all that difficult.

Return to practice unknown
Coach Mike Vrabel said Sunday that he's uncertain whether Jones (undisclosed) will return to practice this week, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: With training camp in the rear-view mirror, Vrabel expects preparation for preseason Week 3 to more resemble what it'll look like during the season. Therefore, the emphasis will be on getting starters ready to suit up for some exhibition action, which none of Jones, Derrick Henry, A.J. Brown and Ryan Tannehill have experienced this month. Only Jones is dealing with a health concern, however, which could hinder his ability to suit up Saturday against the Bears.

Jones (undisclosed) suited up and participated in warmups, but he didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers, Ben Arthur of the Nashville Tennessean reports.
Analysis: The same applies to fellow WR A.J. Brown and RB Derrick Henry, while QB Ryan Tannehill also was in uniform but didn't participate in warmups. Jones' inactivity in the game was hardly a surprise, given that he's been missing practice of late, but so far there's nothing to suggest that the veteran wideout's Week 1 availability is in any danger.

Coach Mike Vrabel has downplayed the team's level of concern about Jones' absence, but considering the veteran wideout's long history of lower-body issues, his status will warrant close monitoring. On the bright side, wideout Josh Reynolds (undisclosed) returned to practice for the Titans on Friday.

Missing another practice
Jones (undisclosed) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Missing back-to-back practices after an early exit from Monday's session all but confirms Jones is dealing with an injury -- a common theme for the 32-year-old wideout in recent seasons. The Titans have been cautious with his practice workload this summer, but nagging lower-body injuries may just be part of the package with Jones at this point.

Misses practice
Jones isn't practicing Tuesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Analysis: Given that he left Monday's practice early, Jones likely is dealing with an injury, or at least some mild pain/discomfort. Coach Mike Vrabel said he isn't worried, but the Titans nonetheless figure to be cautious with the 32-year-old wideout.

Exits practice early
Jones left Monday's practice early, but coach Mike Vrabel isn't worried, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: It isn't clear if Jones was dealing with pain/discomfort or simply having his reps managed by the training staff. He was a consistent presence on injury reports his last few years in Atlanta, but it wasn't until last season that he lost a six-year streak with 14 or more games and 1,394 or more receiving yards. The 32-year-old wideout figures to handle a light workload in training camp, even if Monday's early departure turns out to be nothing.

Trade to Tennessee official
The Falcons traded Jones and a 2023 sixth-round pick to the Titans in exchange for a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 fourth-round pick Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The deal was first reported by Dianna Russini of ESPN on Sunday, with the teams and Rapoport officially confirming the compensation. Jones' departure will free up 2021 cap space for the Falcons, as the Titans are expected to take on all of the receiver's $15.3 million salary. The Alabama product will add to a dynamic Tennessee offense that already features A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry.

Trade to Tennessee looming
Per Dianna Russini of ESPN, the Falcons are finalizing a trade to send Jones to the Titans.
Analysis: Per Russini, the trade is expected to be completed in the next 24 to 48 hours barring any setbacks, and the Falcons are expected to receive at least a 2022 second-round pick in the deal. Jones is set to add his big-play potential to a Tennessee offense that already features weapons such as Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown. Despite playing just nine games during the 2020 season, Jones recorded at least 80 catches and 1,300 yards in each of the previous six seasons dating back to 2014. The deal will…read more

Uncertain for minicamp
Falcons head coach Arthur Smith was unwilling to comment Wednesday when asked if Jones will be present for mandatory minicamp next week, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: The Falcons can technically fine Jones if he doesn't show up, but they're unlikely to actually do it when the whole world knows they're trying to trade the star wideout. With June 1 having come and gone, the Falcons can free up $15.3 million in 2021 cap space if Jones is traded, though they'll also take a $15.5 million dead-cap hit in 2022. The long list of potential suitors for Jones includes Tennessee, New England, Seattle, Baltimore, Las Vegas and San Francisco.

Could still be dealt?
The Falcons have received trade offers for Jones, though any deal wouldn't become official until June, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Waiting until June 1 or later would allow the Falcons to spread out the dead-cap charge between 2021 and 2022. That doesn't prevent the team from reaching a verbal agreement in the meantime, though it does seem the Falcons will need to be blown away by a trade offer before they seriously consider parting ways with arguably the best player in franchise history.

Missing fourth straight game
Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Buccaneers, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Atlanta has long been eliminated from the postseason discussion, but Jones was adamant about returning to play at some point down the stretch, if possible. However, after aggravating his hamstring injury a second time coming out of a Week 13 game against the Saints, Jones ultimately wasn't able to demonstrate enough progress to get the green light for the season finale.

Analysis: The Falcons' second injury report of Week 17 was no different from the first, as Jones was also withheld from Wednesday's practice session. Atlanta hasn't formally ruled Jones out for Sunday's season finale against the Buccaneers, but he'll almost certainly need to practice in some capacity Friday to have a shot at playing.

Misses Wednesday's practice
Jones (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Interim head coach Raheem Morris said earlier this week that Jones has a chance to play Week 17, but the star wideout seems to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. There's little incentive to rush Jones back into action unless he's fully healthy, as the Falcons are already eliminated from playoff contention.

Chance to return Week 17
Interim coach Raheem Morris said Monday that Jones (hamstring) could suit up against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official sitereports.
Analysis: Morris said "if he's able to play, he'll play" with regards to Jones, who hasn't played since Week 13 due to a lingering hamstring injury. The veteran wideout has made his desire to play again this season clear, and he received a platelet-rich plasma injection last week. Of course, with the Falcons already eliminated from playoff contention, it's always possible that the team takes a cautious approach to Jones' health if there's any chance of exacerbating his injury.

The 31-year-old wideout could still try to make it back for Week 17 against Tampa Bay, as he received a platelet-rich plasma injection last week with the hope of returning before the end of the season.

Jones (hamstring), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, recently received a platelet-rich plasma injection, which he hopes will accelerate his recovery and allow him to play again in the final two weeks of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though the 4-9 Falcons have already been eliminated from postseason contention, Jones apparently isn't keen on being shut down, despite the fact that his nagging hamstring injury will cause him to sit out a second consecutive game Sunday and his fifth overall of the season.

Analysis: The 31-year-old will be sidelined for the third time in the past four games as he continues to battle the hamstring injury. Interim head coach Raheem Morris still hopes Jones will be able to return to the field for the final two weeks of the season, but he could face an uphill battle to gain clearance since he hasn't seen practice or game action in nearly two weeks.

Jones reeled in six of 10 targets for 94 yards during Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Jones was unavailable for last Sunday's win over the Raiders, after toughing his way through a hamstring injury during the fourth quarter of a Week 11 loss to the Saints. He returned to face his divisional rivals once again Sunday, faring much more favorably compared to his two-catch, 39-yard Nov. 22 outing.

Jones was unable to practice Friday after putting in limited sessions the first two practices of the week to earn the questionable tag.

The perennial Pro Bowler's contributions became even more critical once Calvin Ridley exited the contest with an ankle injury in the second quarter.

Ready for Thursday
Jones (hip) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Carolina, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Jones has been a fixture on Atlanta's injury report for most of the season. Only this week was Jones listed with a hip injury, which capped his practice reps Monday and Tuesday before he was a full participant at Wednesday's walk-through. Jones missed one chance to strike against the Panthers defense Week 5, so he'll look to pick on a unit that has given up 89 catches to wide receivers this season, tied for 12th-most in the NFL.

Officially limited at practice
Jones (hamstring) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones was back to work after sitting out the team's first practice of the week Wednesday. The Falcons haven't indicated that Jones' absence a day earlier was the result of a setback with the hamstring injury that sidelined him Weeks 3 and 5, so the veteran wideout was likely just getting a maintenance day. Assuming he's able to practice again in some fashion Friday, Jones should be on track to suit up this weekend against Detroit.

Returns to practice Thursday
Jones (hamstring) took part in practice Thursday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Prior to suiting up this past Sunday in Minnesota, Jones didn't practice until Friday, so his balky hamstring appears to be getting healthier since being inactive Weeks 3 and 5 due to the injury. Thursday's practice report will reveal exactly how many reps Jones was able to handle.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Jones (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Weeks 3 and 5 with the hamstring injury, Jones looked like himself this past Sunday at Minnesota, torching the Vikings for eight catches (on 10 targets) for 137 yards and two touchdowns. He only managed only limited practice last week, so as long as he's able to get back on the field in some fashion Thursday or Friday, he'll have a good chance at playing this weekend against the Lions.

Goes berserk on Vikings
Jones corralled eight of his 10 targets for 137 receiving yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 40-23 win against Minnesota.
Analysis: The seven-time Pro Bowl wideout entered Week 6 with an average of 48.3 receiving yards per game over four appearances against Mike Zimmer's Vikings since 2014. Jones made his presence felt immediately Sunday, snagging a 20-yard TD pass from Matt Ryan on Atlanta's first offensive possession of the afternoon. He provided another enormous contribution on 4th-and-3 in the third quarter, catching a Ryan lob and out-muscling linebacker Eric Wilson for a 40-yard score down the left sideline. Jones'…read more

Cleared to play Week 6
Jones (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Minnesota, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: This comes as a bit of a surprise after Jones was held out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday. He returned to the field Friday as a limited participant, setting him up to play in a game for the fourth time through six weeks. He did leave early last time he tried to play, logging only 15 snaps before the hamstring injury forced him out of a Week 4 loss to the Packers. Even with the re-injury risk, fantasy managers probably won't want to miss out on the upside, especially in this Week 6…read more

Listed as DNP on Thursday
Jones (hamstring) was listed a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones has yet to practice since departing at halftime of Atlanta's Week 4 loss in Green Bay. The Falcons worked remotely Thursday due to a member of the organization testing positive for COVID-19, so it remains to be seen if the team will get on the practice field before week's end. Jones will have one more chance to bump up to LP or FP, at which point the Falcons will tab him with a designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota.

Jones (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones wasn't able to practice all last week before being declared inactive for the Falcons' loss to the Panthers, so getting in any amount of activity ahead of Sunday's contest in Minnesota would represent significant progress. Fellow pass catchers Russell Gage (shoulder) and Hayden Hurst (back) were also limited in Wednesday's session.

Jones (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Jones was unable to practice all week after aggravating his hamstring injury in Monday's loss to the Packers, but the Falcons were still willing to wait until game day to formally decide on his Week 5 status. Ultimately, Jones wasn't able to demonstrate enough progress during a pregame workout for the Falcons to sign off on him playing.

Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with Carolina, likely setting up a game-time decision, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Removed from Monday's loss to the Packers after aggravating his hamstring in the first half, Jones didn't log any time on the practice field this week. For most players, the short turnaround and lack of practice participation would essentially ensure an absence, but Jones has a lengthy track record of playing through injuries without sacrificing performance. Of course, that hasn't been the case this season, as he sat out Week 3 and caught only six passes for 56 yards between Weeks 2 and 4. A 1…read more

Testing hamstring Friday
Coach Dan Quinn said Jones will test his hamstring with some running drills during Friday's practice, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: The 31-year-old has been a non-participant at practice this week, though Quinn did indicate Jones was "making progress." Even so, if Jones goes down as a non-participant again on Friday's injury report or even upgrades to limited activity, he still appears destined to carry a questionable designation -- at the very least -- into Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Coach Dan Quinn noted that Jones (hamstring) is "making progress" but will likely only do some on-the-side individual work during Thursday's practice, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: What Jones is able to Friday, and how he feels in the process, will thus be pivotal in the team's assessment of the wideout's potential availability for Sunday's 1:00 ET contest against the Panthers. If he's out or limited this weekend, added opportunities alongside Calvin Ridley will be on tap for Olamide Zaccheaus, Russell Gage and Christian Blake.

He caught four passes for 32 yards before exiting after he aggravated the left hamstring injury that sidelined him in the Falcons' Week 3 loss to the Bears.

Analysis: After sitting out Week 3 with a strained left hamstring, Jones set himself up for a return with limited practices Thursday through Saturday. Indeed, he'll be available to the Falcons offense Monday, along with fellow starting receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle).

Trending toward playing Monday
Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said Thursday that he expects Jones (hamstring) to be available for the team's Week 4 game against the Packers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports. "Well, he's definitely getting more opportunity, more chances to go. He had some running. He'll be doing some rehab run; did all the walkthroughs [Thursday]," Quinn said of the wideout. "So he's definitely participating already at a higher level. As the week goes, I see that work increasing in preparation for [gameday]. So, yeah, we're certainly trending that way."
Analysis: Jones' strained left hamstring sidelined him for the Falcons' Week 3 loss to the Bears, but the star receiver looks like he's on track to avoid any additional absences. With the Falcons hosting the Packers on Monday night, the team won't release its first Week 4 injury report until later Thursday, at which point the extent of Jones' participation in practice will be known.

Analysis: Jones' practice reps were limited last week due to the aforementioned issue, but the wide receiver said it's "nothing that I can't handle." In the past, he's proved capable of gutting out numerous lower-body injuries, just like he did Sunday. That said, Jones' production can be sporadic at times, as evidenced by two catches (on four targets) for 24 yards Week 2. His status will be one to watch closely as the week goes on.

Analysis: No NFL week would be complete without Jones making at least one appearance on the injury report. Despite dealing with minor lower-body injuries on a regular basis for years now, he's missed only four games since the start of the 2014 campaign, averaging at least 90.3 yards per contest each year along the way.

It's fair to wonder if age and the accumulation of ailments might eventually catch up with him, but that wasn't the case last season when he topped 90 receiving yards per game for a sixth consecutive year.

Analysis: The Falcons continue to limit Jones' practice reps but should give him all the work he can handle come Sunday.

Jones (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Jones' practice reps were capped for a second straight day while he continues to manage the right shoulder injury that sidelined him for the Falcons' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Saints. The wideout has proceeded to suit up in both of the past two games, racking up 18 receptions for 200 yards and two touchdowns between the contests. If last week's practice regimen is any indication, Jones will upgrade to full activity Friday and enter Sunday's game against the Jaguars minus an injury…read more

Limited by shoulder injury
Jones (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Jones injured his right shoulder Week 12 against the Buccaneers and didn't suit up on a short week for the Falcons' subsequent matchup with the Saints. In the two games that followed, though, Jones returned to produce 18 receptions (on 28 targets) for 200 yards and two touchdowns. While the shoulder issue continues to impact his practice reps, Jones doesn't seem to be in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Jaguars, which may be confirmed upon the release of Friday's injury report.

Nabs last-second, game-winning TD
Jones corralled 13 of 20 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 29-22 win against San Francisco.
Analysis: The 30-year-old Jones put on a stellar performance against his former offensive coordinator, hauling in a Matt Ryan TD pass with two seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to edge Atlanta past Kyle Shanahan's 49ers. Jones entered Week 15 in the midst of a nine-game scoring drought, but he tallied a TD in both the second and fourth quarters while more than quadrupling the yardage output of the Falcons' No. 2 receiver. His ceiling remains about as high as any receiver in fantasy heading into a…read more

Ready to face banged-up secondary
Jones (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in San Francisco, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Jones returned from a one-week absence to play in last Sunday's 40-20 win over the Panthers, catching five of eight targets for 66 yards while playing 80 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps. His Week 15 matchup isn't as bad as it looks on paper with the 49ers missing a handful of key players on defense, including cornerbacks Richard Sherman (hamstring) and K'Waun Williams (concussion) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (ribs). There's also potential for some added target volume now that Calvin…read more

Still limited at practice
Jones (shoulder) remained limited Thursday at practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones returned from a one-week absence for Sunday's 40-20 win over the Panthers, brining in five of eight targets for 66 yards. With no report of a setback, he should be fine for Sunday's difficult road matchup against the 49ers, potentially seeing some extra targets now that Calvin Ridley (abdomen) is on injured reserve.

Limited to start week
Jones (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones has been nursing the injury for the past few weeks and has often had his practice reps capped accordingly. He returned from a one-game absence to play through the lingering issue in last weekend's win over the Panthers, finishing with five catches for 66 yards on eight targets. The veteran wideout would likely need to maintain limited activity in practice throughout the week or upgrade to full participation by Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's matchup…read more

TD drought carries on
Jones hauled in five of eight targets for 66 receiving yards during Sunday's 40-20 win against the Panthers.
Analysis: With a solid outing against Carolina in Week 14, Jones hit the 1,000-yard receiving threshold for the sixth consecutive season. Still having three games remaining in 2019, he also finds himself on pace to exceed 1,350 receiving yards for the sixth straight year, but touchdowns continue to elude the two-time All-Pro. Since scoring four times between Weeks 1 and 3, Jones has gone nine straight games without reaching the end zone. The upcoming matchup against San Francisco is prohibitive, with the…read more

Cleared to face Carolina
Jones (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Jones never progressed to full participation, but that's essentially been the norm for him in recent seasons. He caught six of eight targets for 91 yards when the Falcons and Panthers last met Week 11.

All set to play Week 14
Coach Dan Quinn said Jones (shoulder) will play in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, setting the table for a return after he missed last week's loss to the Saints. It remains to be seen if the Falcons give him an injury designation on their final Week 14 report, which will be issued later Friday.

Practicing Friday
Jones (shoulder) took part in Friday's practice, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones was unable to play in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Saints, but he has practiced in some capacity each day this week. That bodes well for his chances of returning to action Week 14 versus the Panthers.

Remains limited at practice
Jones (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Though Jones' reps were capped for the second day in a row, he still looks to be in a better place physically than he was a week ago, when he only managed one limited showing in a walk-through session before sitting out the Falcons' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Saints. That being said, Jones will probably need to upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Panthers.

On practice field again Thursday
Jones (shoulder) participated in Thursday's practice, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Falcons contained Jones to one limited walk-through prior to being inactive last Thursday against the Saints. As such, his ability to take part in back-to-back sessions this time around bodes well for his game-day availability. The team will reveal his activity level Thursday upon the release of its second Week 14 injury report.

Set for limited practice
Coach Dan Quinn said that Jones (shoulder) will be limited in practice Wednesday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones only took part in a limited walk-through session last week before being ruled out for the Falcons' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Saints, so it's encouraging to see him handling some reps in a more traditional practice to begin Week 14. Per Jason Butt of The Athletic, Quinn expressed optimism Monday that the star wideout will be available for this weekend's tilt with the Panthers, but Jones may need to increase his activity level the next two days for that to become a reality.

Could return Sunday
Per coach Dan Quinn, Jones (shoulder) is trending upward in advance of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The report suggests that Jones would have had a better chance to suit up Week 13 if the Falcons had played this past Sunday, as opposed to Thursday. We'll revisit Jones' status no later than Wednesday, when the team's injury/practice report comes out, but for now it looks like Jones has a decent chance to return to action this coming weekend.

Not suiting up Thursday
Jones (shoulder) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Saints, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: The Falcons did their due diligence with Jones this week, regularly treating his right shoulder since the conclusion of Sunday's 35-22 loss to the Buccaneers and allowing him to participate in a limited fashion at Wednesday's walk-through. After completing a pregame workout, though, he was a non-participant in wide receivers drill, according to Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. It was the first sign Jones wouldn't suit up Week 13, which was confirmed shortly thereafter when Atlanta posted its…read more

Trending toward being available Thursday
The Falcons are optimistic that Jones (shoulder) will be available Thursday night against the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Confirmation of Jones' status, either way, will arrive upon the release of Atlanta's inactives in advance of Thursday's 8:20 ET kickoff, but it looks like he'll try to tough it out against New Orleans. Jones hasn't scored a TD since Week 3, but he's seen steady volume in the meantime, including 10 looks this past Sunday against the Bucs. Overall, he's averaging 9.2 targets and 86.4 receiving yards per game.

Questionable for Thursday
Jones (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Saints, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones picked up the right shoulder injury in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, and the quick turnaround for the Week 13 game probably doesn't help his cause. That said, the veteran wideout felt well enough to take part in Wednesday's walk-through practice, an encouraging sign after he sat out the first two sessions of the week, per D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Jones' status for Thanksgiving Day will come down to how well his shoulder feels during warmups, according…read more

Second straight DNP
Jones (shoulder) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Jones sat out of practice for the second straight day after sustaining a right shoulder injury this past Sunday against Tampa Bay. The veteran receiver got treatment after the game, but the Falcons haven't revealed further details about the issue. Jones' practice status this week isn't encouraging for his chances of suiting up Thursday against the Saints, but it's worth noting that he's battled through plenty of bumps and bruises in his career. Keep an eye out for Wednesday's final injury…read more

Not seen at practice
Jones (shoulder) wasn't spotted at the portion of Tuesday's practice open to the media, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones required a spell on the sideline this past Sunday against the Buccaneers to tend to a right shoulder injury, and despite finishing the contest, he underwent immediate treatment afterward. The Falcons otherwise haven't divulged any information regarding Jones' health, so his lack of practice reps so far this week is telling. Tuesday's injury report will confirm whether or not he remained away from the field.

DNP on Monday's estimate
Jones (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Jones received treatment on his shoulder after Sunday's 35-22 loss to the Buccaneers. While a DNP isn't favorable news, there are still no reports of the severity of Jones' injury. The star receiver has only missed three games since the 2014 season, despite being banged up occasionally, but his practice status is still worth monitoring. Tuesday's session should provide a better indicator of Jones' availability Thursday against the Saints.

Getting treatment on right shoulder
Coach Dan Quinn said Jones was undergoing treatment on his right shoulder after Sunday's 35-22 loss to the Buccaneers, hence his lack of availability to the media, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Quinn couldn't divulge the nature or severity of Jones' injury, other than to say the Falcons will have more information Monday. Jones missed some time in the second half but still ended the afternoon with five catches (on nine targets) for 68 yards. He's played through the the usual bumps and bruises this year while showing up on the injury report on occasion, but his status nonetheless will be one to monitor closely this week.

So-so outing despite dream matchup
Jones caught five of nine targets for 68 receiving yards during Sunday's 35-22 loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis: The two-time All-Pro had to be removed from the contest for examination after suffering a shoulder injury in the first half, but he was able to return to action and produce his sixth consecutive performance of 65-plus receiving yards. While Jones has proven to be a high-floor option by virtue of that streak, his typically-massive upside has been reduced because of his eight-game touchdown drought. In Week 13, Jones has a strong chance to break his scoring spell, going up against a Saints…read more

Returns after examination
Jones (shoulder) returned to Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: After he was considered questionable to return, Jones had his right shoulder examined by the Falcons' training staff, per Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. Upon reentering the game, Jones will look to build upon his 2-44-0 line on six targets.

Suffers shoulder injury
Jones injured his shoulder during Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Deemed questionable to return, Jones left the contest with two receptions (on six targets) for 44 yards on the ledger. If the latter number stands, it'll mark his third-fewest receiving yards of the season. In Jones' stead, Calvin Ridley represents the top wide receiver in the Falcons offense, followed by Russell Gage, Justin Hardy, Christian Blake and Olamide Zaccheaus.

Puts in full practice
Jones (foot) practiced fully Thursday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: When Jones was held out of Wednesday's session, he was seen on the side with a limp, spurring concerns about his availability. Those fears were unfounded, though, after taking part in every drill Thursday. Jones has a prime matchup on tap Sunday versus a Buccaneers defense that has allowed 202.2 receiving yards per game and 18 total touchdowns to wideouts in 10 contests this season.

Tending to foot injury

Analysis: While he took part in the pre-practice stretch, Jones proceeded to observe the session from the side. He even sported a limp, which was backed up with his eventual listing on the injury report. Jones perpetually plays through health concerns, but his status still should be watched closely as the week goes on to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Second-leading receiver in Week 11
Jones caught six of eight targets for 91 receiving yards during Sunday's 29-3 win against Carolina.
Analysis: The two-time All-Pro wideout saw his scoreless streak pushed to seven games, but he continued his midseason tear from a catches and yardage standpoint. Jones has averaged 6.6 receptions and 104.6 yards per game over his past five outings, after being contained to seven combined catches for 94 yards during a momentary slump between Weeks 4 and 5. His upside remains as high as any receiver in fantasy heading into Week 12, with the Buccaneers' 32nd-ranked pass defense awaiting on the docket.

Team's top receiver in upset win
Jones caught three of nine targets and compiled 79 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-9 win against the Saints.

Austin Hooper (knee) and Brian Hill each tallied a touchdown catch, but aside from Jones there was not a single Falcon who exceeded 30 receiving yards on the afternoon.
