  • Will miss offseason due to surgery

    Jones underwent shoulder surgery and is expected to miss the entire offseason, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Jones is due a team-high $20.05 million in 2022, and there's rumors that Atlanta is planning on releasing or trading the linebacker this offseason in an attempt to expedite the rebuild process. However, regardless of where he ends up, his availability for the start of the year has quickly become the top story of his offseason.

  • Role with ATL isn't secured

    Jones isn't expected to start the season in Atlanta, Jeff Schultz of the Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones is due a team-high $20.05 million in 2022, and according to Schultz, the possibility he doesn't start the season with Atlanta is "almost certain." Cutting Jones before June 1 wouldn't save the Falcons any money, but if they cut him post-June 1, they'd save $1.07 million in 2022 and would have him off the books for 2023. However, trading the 2016 second-round pick appears to be the team's preference as long as the deal would transfer most of Jones' financial guarantees, but that appears to…read more

  • Pedestrian performance in finale

    Jones made six tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Jones finished his sixth season in the league with 137 tackles (one shy of his career high), two sacks and one forced fumble. The 2016 second-round pick has recorded at least 100 tackles in every season of his career expect for 2018, when he appeared in only six games. Jones' 2022 contract is fully guaranteed, so he's expected to be back in the middle of Atlanta's defense next season.

  • Double-digit tackes in win

    Jones had 10 tackles (eight solo) and one pass deflection during Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Jones notched his first double-digit tackle performance since Week 9. Through 14 games this season, the 27-year-old linebacker has totaled 123 tackles, six pass deflections, two sacks and one forced fumble. Jones remains a reliable option in most IDP formats and will have an interesting matchup with the Bills in Week 17.

  • Seven tackles in Week 15

    Jones recorded seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 31-13 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Jones has failed to register at least 10 tackles in five straight games since he started the season out with double-digit tackles in six of the first eight weeks. Despite the lack of explosive performances, the 27-year-old continues to be a consistent producer, which makes him a reliable option in most IDP formats. Jones should have an advantageous matchup against the Lions in Week 16.

  • Finishes with nine stops

    Jones had nine tackles (six solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 30-17 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Jones missed last week with a shoulder injury and had only five tackles in each of his previous two contests, but he rebounded with solid production Sunday. The 27-year-old had 101 tackles (59 solo), two sacks and one forced fumble in 11 games, and he's poised to set his highest tackle total since posting 138 during 2017.

  • Logs full practice

    Jones (shoulder) practiced in full Wednesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones' return to the practice field in full capacity is a great sign for his availability Sunday against the Buccaneers after he missed Sunday against the Jaguars. The former pro-bowler and pillar of the Falcons' defense has gathered 92 tackles, two sacks, three passes defensed and a forced fumble on the season.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Jones (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: The standout linebacker will miss his first game of the season after he practiced all week before being listed as questionable upon the release of Friday's injury report. The severity of Jones' shoulder issue isn't known, but for at least this week, Mykal Walker is expected to fill his spot in the starting lineup at inside linebacker. Through 10 outings this season, Jones has been a reliable IDP option with 92 tackles, three pass breakups, two sacks and a forced fumble.

  • Questionable with shoulder injury

    Jones (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Jacksonville after being limited in practice Friday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones is an integral part of Atlanta's defense, having notched 10-plus tackles on six different occasions this season. If he's unable to play come Sunday, Mykal Walker would likely take on a larger role in Atlanta's linebacker corps.

  • Notches double-digit tackles again

    Jones produced 10 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-25 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Jones has 82 tackles through eight games this season and is on pace to break his career high for tackles in a single season (138), which he set during his second year in the NFL. The 27-year-old linebacker has registered double-digit tackles in three straight games and will likely continue to be a top-tier IDP option for the remainder of the 2021 campaign.

  • Double-digit tackes in two straight

    Jones registered 14 tackles (10 solo) and one forced fumble during Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Jones has recorded 29 tackles over his last two games and 72 tackles through the first seven contests of the season. The 26-year-old linebacker is on pace for a career year and remains a top-tier IDP option moving forward. He will look to continue his strong play against Alvin Kamara and the Saints in Week 9.

  • Season-high 15 tackles Sunday

    Jones registered 15 total tackles (11 solo), three tackles for loss and one sack during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Sunday's performance marked the fourth time that Jones has posted double-digit tackles through the first seven games of the 2021 campaign. The 26-year-old linebacker has 58 tackles on the season and is on pace to surpass 100 tackles for the third straight year. Jones' tackling numbers offer a steady floor for fantasy managers, but his ceiling will grow if he can continue to get after the quarterback, which he may be asked to do more of with Dante Fowler (knee) on injured reserve.

  • Modest day vs. Jets

    Jones had five tackles (three solo) during Sunday's win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Jones has had double-digit stops in three of five appearances this season, but he didn't get much going during Sunday's overseas matchup against New York. The standout linebacker will enjoy a Week 6 bye, then travel to Miami for a matchup Oct. 24.

  • Another 11 stops

    Jones recorded 11 tackles and one tackle for a loss in Sunday's loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Jones has been a stalwart member of the Falcons' linebacker corps this season, as he has logged double-digit tackles in all but one game. He's also shown flashes of production as a pass-rusher and in coverage, tallying one sack and pass defended through four contests. Jones now has 38 tackles on the campaign, second on the team to only Foyesade Oluokun.

  • Rings up 13 stops

    Jones posted 13 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Jones and Foyesade Oluokun are tackling machines, as the two combined for 27 tackles in the Falcons' first win of the season. Both players have a steady floor in terms of stops, and Jones can contribute in sacks and pass breakups. He produced 4.5 and six, respectively, last year.

  • Gets to Brady

    Jones posted four tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 48-25 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The Buccaneers pass a ton, so Jones' IDP upside was limited, but he made up for it with his first sack of the year. The LSU produce has posted at least 100 tackles in every season in which he played 15 or more games, so fantasy managers shouldn't panic after this bump in the road.

  • Piles up 11 stops

    Jones recorded 11 tackles (four solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Jones led the Falcons in stops during the season opener. The 2016 second-round pick posted 100-plus tackles in all four seasons in which he played 15 or more games. He'll be a high-end IDP contributor as long as he's healthy.

  • Reworks contract

    Jones agreed to a restructured contract with the Falcons on Sunday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jones originally was set to make $8.2 million in 2021. However, he agreed to defer $4 million of salary to the 2022 season, and in return his 2022 salary became fully guaranteed. The move freed up $4 million in salary-cap space for the Falcons. Jones will handle a crucial role in Atlanta again next season after recording 106 tackles, six pass breakups and 4.5 sacks across 16 games last year.

  • Closes out impressive 2020 campaign

    Jones, who registered four tackles during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Buccaneers, ended the 2020 season with 106 tackles, nine tackles for loss, 10 QB hits, 4.5 sacks, two interceptions, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and one defensive touchdown.

    Analysis: Jones notched a 67-yard pick-six off of Las Vegas' Derek Carr in Week 12. Otherwise, he largely struggled in coverage this season. The 2017 Pro Bowler surrendered a 74.1 percent completion rate and six touchdowns over 54 targets, a notable decline from the 58.5 completion percentage and four passing TDs he conceded in 16 games last season. Meanwhile, Jones was deployed more than ever in pass-rush, blitzing on 61 occasions after registering 41 combined blitzes in 22 appearances between 2018 and…read more

  • Absent from injury report

    Jones (toe) does not appear on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: A toe injury limited Jones in practice this week, but it's not enough for the linebacker to miss his first game of the season.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Jones (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones hasn't yet missed a game this season, and that he's still practicing in a limited fashion would seem to hint that he's on track for Week 16. As long as Jones' practice reps aren't downgraded ahead of Sunday's road game against the Chiefs, he should draw his usual start at middle linebacker.

  • Gets to Brady for Week 15 sack

    Jones registered a team-high 10 tackles, including one sack, during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The LSU product registered two QB hits on Tom Brady, pushing his 2020 sack total to 4.5 with a second-quarter takedown of the Canton-bound signal-caller. That mark more than quadruples a previous career high in sacks for Jones, who has been deployed 50 times as a blitzer this season. In 22 starts between 2018 and 2019, Jones blitzed on a combined 41 occasions.

  • Yet another impactful showing

    Jones registered 10 tackles and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Given his fourth-quarter fumble recovery, courtesy of a Steven Means sack on Taysom Hill, Jones has now generated takeaways in back-to-back games. The 2017 Pro Bowler stands with 78 tackles, 3.5 sacks and two interceptions to his ledger as Atlanta prepares to face the recently shut out Chargers in Week 14. Austin Ekeler presents a unique challenge to Jones and Co. as a high-level pass catcher out of the backfield.

  • Superb outing against Raiders

    Jones recorded five tackles, a pass breakup and a pick-six in Sunday's 43-6 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Jones was instrumental in shutting down the Raiders' run attack, as Josh Jacobs was held to just 27 yards on seven carries, while Devontae Booker produced six yards on five rushes. The middle linebacker came through for fantasy managers, too, marking the fifth pick-six of his five-year NFL career. He'll be in charge of slowing down Taysom Hill's run game when the Saints come to town in Week 13.

  • Sacks Taysom Hill

    Jones registered six combined tackles, including one sack, during Sunday's 24-9 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: The 2017 Pro Bowler has stepped up his presence in the pass rush in recent outings, collecting seven QB hits and three sacks in his past five games played. Jones has struggled in coverage comparatively, surrendering 11.3 yards per completion and four touchdown passes in coverage this season. Up next is a matchup against Las Vegas, which offers an opposing quarterback in Derek Carr who is throwing to an uber-efficient 19:3 TD:INT on the year.

    Jones racked up six tackle -- including two tackles for loss and one sack -- during Thursday's 25-17 win against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Jones has struggled considerably in coverage so far this season, surrendering a 72.4 percent completion rate and four passing TDs on 29 coverage opportunities. The Falcons have been working around that issue, and so far results have been encouraging. Jones has been utilized as a blitzer 28 times in eight games this season, proving especially effective of late with five QB hits and two sacks the past three weeks. During all of 2019, Jones had just 36 total blitz chances in 16 appearances,…read more

  • Picks up sack, TFL in defeat

    Jones registered four total tackles, including one sack and two tackles for loss during Sunday's 23-22 defeat to the Lions.

    Analysis: Jones' tackle total tied a season low, but the 2016 second-round pick was able to collect his first solo sack since Dec. 2 of 2018. Tight ends continue to tee off against the Falcons, as T.J. Hockenson corralled a game-tying touchdown with time expiring in the fourth quarter. That was on top of the Falcons' NFL-high seven TDs allowed to TEs coming into Sunday. Individually, Jones has allowed opponents to complete passes at a 70.4 percent rate when targeting him in coverage this season.

    Jones collected eight total tackles, including five solo tackles during Sunday's 23-16 loss to Carolina.

    Analysis: Atlanta was exposed by the running back position in the passing game once again, surrendering nine catches, 60 yards and a touchdown to Panthers RB Mike Davis on Sunday. This performance came on the heels of allowing five catches, 40 yards and a wide-open receiving TD to Packers back Aaron Jones in a Week 4 loss. Jones is regarded as one of the top coverage linebackers in the league, but of late there have been glaring errors in his area of expertise -- including a TD catch surrendered to Green…read more

  • Gives up first receiving TD of 2020

    Jones collected eight total tackles, including one tackle for loss during Monday's 30-16 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Jones has been considered to be one of the NFL's better coverage linebackers of the past four years, but Packers tight end Robert Tonyan got behind him for one of his three touchdowns on Monday night. Despite now being his team's leading tackler in two consecutive contests, the one-time Pro Bowl linebacker has struggled in coverage this season, surrendering an 83.3 percent completion rate and a 121.5 passer rating when targeted.

  • Leads team in tackles Monday

    Jones recored eight tackles (six solo) across 63 defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: It was a rather abysmal performance for the Falcons defense as a whole on Monday night, but that's no fault of Jones. The linebacker tied for the Falcons' lead in tackles while playing every defensive snap in the contest. He now has 30 tackles (16 solo) and 0.5 sacks on the year.

  • Half a sack against Dallas

    Jones registered six total tackles, including half a sack, during Sunday's 40-39 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old linebacker made a rare contribution in pass rush, garnering his first sack credit of any kind since Dec. 2, 2018. Jones and Co. certainly were not effective in containing Dallas tight end Dalton Schultz, however, as the Cowboys pass-catcher racked up nine catches for 88 yards and a touchdown. Jones and the Falcons defense now aim for a bounce-back performance in Week 3, taking on a Bears offense that has accounted for 44 points in its first two games of the new campaign.

    Jones collected a team-high nine tackles, including one tackle for loss during Sunday's 38-25 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The 2017 Pro Bowler was all over the field Sunday, but he and the rest of the Falcons' linebacking corps struggled in slowing down Seattle tight ends and running backs in the passing game. The two position groups totaled 15 catches and one touchdown Sunday for Seattle, a disappointing result after the Falcons contained tight ends and running backs to less than 10 combined catches per game and 10 total touchdowns in 2019.

    Jones has been named a Falcons team captain for 2020, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Jones, Grady Jarrett and Ricardo Allen provide a captain at each level of Atlanta's defense, as the unit aims to improve upon a 23rd-place rank in points allowed per game (24.9). The 25-year-old Jones continues to merit consideration as one of the best coverage linebackers in the league, but last year the Falcons became more aggressive in deploying him as a pass-rusher as well. Jones continued to stifle passers and allowed just a 58.5 percent completion rate when targeted last year, while his…read more

    Jones accounted for three tackles, a fumble recovery and an interception return for a touchdown to provide Atlanta with a 28-22 overtime win against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old linebacker came down with his first INT of 2019 during Week 17, and the play proved pivotal as Jones scampered 28 yards into the end zone to secure a walk-off win. After sitting out 10 games last year with a broken foot, Jones was capable of suiting up for all 16 of his team's contests this season while reaching 110 total tackles for the second time in his career. In addition to his tackling acumen, Jones also established a new career high with four QB hits, while scoring a TD…read more

    Analysis: Jones recorded his lowest tackle total of the season during Week 16's win, though he did make a mark in pass coverage. The 25-year-old will look to bounce back to his usual high level of production during Sunday's season finale against the Buccaneers.

The fourth-year pro played 56 snaps on defense (79 percent). Up next for Jones is a tough Week 15 matchup in San Francisco.

    Jones collected nine total tackles and one pass deflection during Thursday's 26-18 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: The former Pro Bowl linebacker was integral to Atlanta curbing Alvin Kamara's impact in the passing game, as the electrifying back brought in just four of his eight targets for 23 yards on the night. Jones is widely praised for his supreme coverage skills, but he also provided a jolt to an otherwise lifeless Falcons pass rush, registering the only QB hit on Drew Brees during the entire contest.

  • Team's top tackler in Week 12 loss

    Jones collected nine total tackles, including one tackle for loss, during Sunday's 35-22 defeat to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old linebacker continues to establish himself as a versatile, sideline-to-sideline defender, having racked up eight-plus tackles in consecutive outings and six-plus tackles in eight of 10 appearances since Week 2. He remains without a takeaway and likely will not obtain one facing the error-resistant Saints in Week 13, but he will have plenty of tackling opportunities going up against a New Orleans offense that ranks third in the NFL in average time of possession (32:57).

  • Racks up tackles in win

    Jones collected eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: It was another dominant showing for the Falcons' defense, including Jones, as the 25-year-old has racked up 28 tackles (16 solo) the past four games. Jones is firmly in the IDP discussion on a weekly basis, especially considering he suited up for 81 defensive snaps in the win. He'll be one of the top options in IDP formats for Week 12 when he gets a juicy matchup against a struggling Jameis Winston and the Buccaneers.
