Active for Week 3
Jones (wrist) is active for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Jones has totaled five tackles and two sacks through the first two weeks of the season, but he will be expected to do a bit more Sunday, as the Chiefs will be without their top pass rusher Frank Clark. The 27-year-old defensive tackle will have to deal with the Chargers' hefty free-agent signees -- Corey Linsley and Matt Feiler.

Expected to play
Jones (wrist) should be able to play Sunday against the Chargers, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Chiefs' other top pass rusher, DE Frank Clark, is expected to miss the game with a hamstring injury. Jones, meanwhile, has five tackles and two sacks through two weeks, playing 77.0 percent of KC's defensive snaps. He does get a real challenge this Sunday, after the Chargers spent big to bring in C Corey Linsley and LG Matt Feiler this offseason. Of course, Jones is still a handful for any blocker.

Questionable against Chargers
Jones (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Jones was limited in all three of Kansas City's practices this week. The team will be in a tough spot along the defensive line if he sits, as Frank Clark (hamstring) is doubtful. Jones has five tackles and two sacks through two weeks.

Two sacks Week 1
Jones posted three solo tackles and two sacks in Sunday's 33-29 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Jones saw more edge work in Week 1, and he was dominant with two timely sacks of Baker Mayfield. The 2016 second-round pick totaled 32 sacks over the past three seasons. His upside is through the roof if he keeps getting more work at end.

Listed as DE on first depth chart
Jones is listed as the Chiefs' starting left defensive end on the Chiefs' first depth chart, Charles Goldman of USA Today reports.
Analysis: It was intimated earlier in the offseason that Jones would see more edge work in 2021, but the first depth chart release seems to suggest he's going to play primarily on the edge, with Jarran Reed and Derrick Nnadi listed as the defensive tackles. This could allow Jones to get after the quarterback a bit more in 2021, which would make him an even more intriguing IDP option.

Set for more edge work
The Chiefs plan to utilize Jones more often as a defensive end in 2021 compared to previous seasons, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old has 32 sacks over the the past three years while seeing most of his playing time at defensive tackle, but defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo plans to alter the pass rush and move him to the edge more this season. Jones has been a force at defensive tackle and should continue to see the bulk of his reps there, but a more flexible pass rush could lead to more opportunities to bring down the quarterback after Kansas City struggled to record sacks last season.

Clogs middle again in 2020
Jones collected 36 tackles (23 solo) and 7.5 sacks over 15 games during the 2020 regular season.
Analysis: While Jones didn't quite reach his totals from either of the last two seasons, the big man still made his presence felt in the middle of the Chiefs' defensive line. He remains under contract for the next three seasons and there doesn't seem to be signs of him slowing down at this point.

Adds another sack
Jones had four tackles (all solo), one sack and one pass defensed during Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: The 26-year-old played 71 percent of the defensive snaps and recorded his first sack since Week 9. Jones has 35 tackles (22 solo), 6.5 sacks and two forced fumbles through 12 games in 2020.

Activated from COVID list
The Chiefs activated Jones from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Jones was placed on the COVID-19 list Thursday, but he's tested negative and cleared the necessary protocols in order to return to team facilities. The 26-year-old practiced Friday, and now he'll officially be ready for Sunday's game versus the Panthers. The 26-year-old defensive tackle has 4.5 sacks and 22 quarterback pressures through seven games, and he has a solid opportunity to add to his totals this week, as Teddy Bridgewater has been sacked on 5.9 percent of dropbacks this year.

In clear for Week 9
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that he expects Jones (reserve/COVID-19 list) to play in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Jones was placed on the list Thursday after he was determined to have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for the coronavirus, but the defensive lineman apparently cleared all COVID-19-related protocols in quick fashion. The 26-year-old was back at practice Friday, an indication that the Chiefs fully intend on having him in the lineup this weekend. Expect the team to formally activate him from the list Friday or Saturday.

Back at facility Friday
Jones is present at the Chiefs' training facility Friday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Jones was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday after he was determined to have been in close contact with an infected individual. The Chiefs haven't confirmed that Jones has been activated from the list, but his presence at the team facility suggests that the star defensive lineman will have a shot at being available for Sunday's game versus the Panthers after all.

Cleared of positive COVID-19 test
Jones' placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday was the result of a close contact through tracing rather than a positive test by the defensive lineman, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kansas City shut down its team facility and held a remote practice Thursday after a staff member tested positive earlier in the day. It's unclear if that staff member or another infected person was in close contact with Jones, but regardless, he won't be eligible to rejoin the team for at least five days in accordance with the NFL's rules for players placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Jones won't be able to play in Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Resumes practicing in full
Jones (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Jones was limited due to a groin injury Wednesday, but he's already managed to resume handling unrestricted practice reps. The star defensive tackle has 4.5 sacks on the season, a total which he'll look to boost against the Jets' hapless O-line on Sunday.

Groin issue resurfaces
Jones was a limited practice participant Wednesday with a groin injury, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old sat out Week 4 with the groin issue but played in each of the past three contests, though he apparently aggravated the injury Sunday against the Broncos as he played a season-low 52 percent of defensive snaps. The fact Jones is still practicing in some capacity is a good sign, but he may need to progress to full participation by the end of the week to avoid an injury designation this weekend.

Records sack in victory
Jones finished with three tackles (two solo and a tackle for loss) and a sack in Sunday's win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Jones has registered a sack in three of the five contests he's played in 2020, sitting with 4.5 sacks on the year. He'll score a favorable matchup again in Week 8 against the winless Jets.

Ready to rock
Jones (groin) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.

Logs limited practice
Jones (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Jones sat out Week 4 despite logging limited sessions all week, so we shouldn't read into his Wednesday practice capacity too much. The star defensive tackle avoided a setback, however, and he has two more practices to get up to full speed. If he can't play Sunday versus the Raiders, expect Tershawn Wharton and Mike Pennel to split time in his place.

Won't play Monday
Jones (groin) is officially inactive for Monday's game against the Patriots, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old received the questionable tag after practicing as a limited participant all week, but he won't be suiting up for Week 4. Kansas City will hold him out in a precautionary move, according to Nate Taylor of The Athletic, as Monday's contest is the first of three games for Kansas City in the next 11 days. Tershawn Wharton and Mike Pennel should see increased reps for the Chiefs in his absence.

Questionable to face Pats
Jones (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jones put together a trio of limited practice sessions while dealing with a groin issue, an injury he picked up during Monday's win over the Ravens. In the event that Jones is held to a snap count Sunday, or even forced to miss time, Tershawn Wharton and Mike Pennel would stand to handle increased defensive snaps.

Officially limited Wednesday
Jones (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Jones entered Week 3 against the Ravens with this groin injury but still managed to play 70 percent of defensive snaps, recording five tackles, two sacks and two forced fumbles. The fact that he practiced in some capacity Wednesday bodes well for his availability against the Patriots on Sunday.

Not practicing Wednesday
Jones (groin) isn't expected to practice Wednesday, Adam Teicher of ESPN NFL Nation reports.
Analysis: Jones played through the groin injury Monday against the Ravens and produced two strip-sacks on Lamar Jackson, but the injury remains a hindrance for the standout defensive lineman. He'll look to up his practice participation as the week goes on to put Jones in position to suit up against the Patriots come Sunday.

Two sacks Monday
Jones (groin) recorded five tackles (three solo), two sacks and two forced fumbles across 39 defensive snaps in Monday's win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Jones made it difficult for reigning-MVP Lamar Jackson to do virtually anything all night, strip-sacking the quarterback twice in the contest. His five tackles were also a single-game high on the young season. However, Jones was bothered by a groin injury toward the end of the contest, so look for updates on his status to come once the practice report is released later this week.

Dealing with groin injury
Jones suffered a groin injury near the end of Monday's 34-20 win over the Ravens, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: The severity of the injury is unclear at this time. Jones will likely be evaluated further in the coming days to determine his availability for Sunday's matchup with New England. Prior to exiting, the defensive tackle was a force on the interior, racking up five tackles and two sacks while forcing two fumbles.

Starts season strong
Jones recorded four tackles (three solo) and 1.5 sacks during Thursday's 34-20 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Jones, who racked up a team-leading nine sacks across 13 contests in 2019, didn't waste any time picking up where he left off. The star defensive tackle will suit up against the Chargers in Week 2 as one of the top IDP options at his position.

Back at practice
Jones (groin) returned to practice Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones missed nearly a week of practice with this groin injury but is back in the fold with three weeks to prepare for the season opener versus Houston.

Lands $85 million extension
Jones' four-year extension with Kansas City is worth $85 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per the report, the star defensive tackle's new deal with the team includes $60 million in guarantees. Jones will thus remain a key cog in Kansas City's defensive corps for at least the next few years, with his agreement with the team coming on the heels of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' recent mega-extension.

Inks extension
Jones has signed a contract extension with Kansas City, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Jones and the team have agreed to a four-year deal, an agreement that means the star defensive tackle won't be playing on Kansas City's franchise tag in 2020. The 2016 second-rounder logged 36 tackles and a team-high nine sacks in 13 games last season.

Not close to new contract
Jones and the Chiefs haven't made much progress on a long-term contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Chiefs gave Jones a franchise tag in mid-March, setting up a July 15 deadline for a multi-year deal. The 2016 second-round pick hasn't signed his tender, so he may consider holding out if the big contract doesn't happen. Jones is a top-five interior pass rusher by any estimate, with his past three seasons yielding 31 sacks, 62 QB hits, 16 pass defenses and seven forced fumbles. He'll have a solid argument to expect around $40 million guaranteed and a $20 million average annual value.

Tagged before free agency
The Chiefs are giving Jones the franchise tag, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: A long-term contract could be tricky for a team with so many other superstars on its roster, but the Chiefs would've been foolish to let Jones walk away. The 25-year-old interior pass rusher had 24.5 sacks and 49 QB hits in 29 games over the past two regular seasons, and he's also one of the best in the league at batting down passes. His pair of deflections in the Super Bowl helped the Chiefs erase a multi-score deficit in the fourth quarter. Discussions for a contract could approach the $20…read more

Wants to stay in Kansas City
Jones expressed that he wanted to stick with the Chiefs after the Super Bowl LIV win, Jelani Scott of NFL.com reports. "I want to be a Chief for life," Jones said. "I plan to stay here forever, man."
Analysis: Jones played through a calf strain in the final two playoff games, but he managed to log 48 of 58 defensive snaps (83 percent) and record three pass breakups in the Super Bowl. The 25-year-old's rookie contract expires in March, and he's due a major payday. Jones' comments should be taken with a grain of salt -- the defensive tackle was riding the adrenaline following the biggest win of his life -- but those words could allude to a possible hometown discount.

Full speed ahead
Jones (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Jones worked as a limited participant in practice last week, but James Palmer of NFL Network relayed that the defensive tackle may be able to play every defensive snap in Super Bowl 54. The 25-year-old's full participation in practice certainly confirms such optimism, so barring a setback, Jones should be in line for a normal role Sunday versus the 49ers. He stacked up 36 tackles and nine sacks over 13 regular-season games.

Jones (calf) said Thursday that he believes he'll be able to play every defensive snap during the Super Bowl on Feb. 2, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jones is nursing a calf injury that held him to 42 percent of defensive snaps during Sunday's AFC Championship Game, and he was limited in Wednesday's practice, so the defensive tackle's expectation of an every-down role may be a tad optimistic.

Jones (calf) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Jones was held back during the AFC Championship Game, as he played 28 of 66 defensive snaps (42 percent) due to the calf injury. He's in line for an increased role in the big game, though, according to Adam Teicher of ESPN. "I think he feels pretty good," coach Andy Reid said. "He didn't have a setback, so that was good."

Jones (calf) is listed as active for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Titans, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: After missing last weekend's divisional-round win over Houston, the defensive tackle will give it a go Sunday.

Iffy for Sunday's game
Though Jones is in line to test out his injured calf during pre-game warmups, NFL Network's James Palmer indicates that there's "not a lot of optimism" the defensive tackle will be available for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Titans.
Analysis: Jones, who logged a team-high nine sacks this past season, was unable to suit up for last weekend's divisional-round win over the Texans and it doesn't look like he'll make it back this Sunday. If he remains sidelined, Derrick Nnadi and Khalen Saunders will continue to see added work along the Chiefs' interior line versus Tennessee.

Analysis: With that in mind, the defensive tackle's status for this coming Sunday's AFC Championship Game is cloudy. Jones led the Chiefs with nine sacks in 13 regular-season contests this season, and if he remains out versus the Titans this weekend, the team will continue to turn to Derrick Nnadi and Khalen Saunders to fill in along the team's interior line.

Sack rate drops in 2019
Jones recorded 36 tackles (23 solo), nine sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery during the 2019 season.
Analysis: While Jones was unable to match his career-best 15.5 sacks from a season ago, the fourth-year tackle still caused havoc for opposing offenses. It's worth noting that Jones missed three games and played 120 fewer defensive snaps, which both account for some of the production decline. As far as tackles go, the big man's pace would have pushed him past last season's total if he had played all 16 regular-season contests.

Analysis: Even though it's taken him 12 games to get halfway to last year's career-high 15.5 sacks, Jones' eight total sacks still ranks top-five amongst interior defensive linemen in 2019.

Tallies seventh sack
Jones had three tackles (two solo) and one sack during Sunday's 23-16 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Jones brought down Tom Brady for a 10-yard loss to force a punt during the third quarter, but he was otherwise fairly quiet throughout the contest. The 25-year-old has 30 tackles (18 solo), seven sacks and one forced fumble in 10 games.

Monster game Sunday
Jones racked up seven tackles (four solo), two sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Jones got the game started with a huge strip-sack of Ryan Tannehill on the first drive of the game, leading to a field goal to put the Chiefs up 10-0. However, the 25-year-old had a third of his season tackles in Sunday's game, as he's accumulated just 21 tackles this season. He'll get a chance to grab a sack in his third consecutive game when he and the Chiefs take on Philip Rivers and the Chargers for Week 11.

Brings down Cousins in return
Jones recorded three tackles (two solo) and a sack during Sunday's 26-23 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: After missing the last three contests due to a groin injury, Jones immediately made an impact in his return versus Minnesota and managed to reach the quarterback. Coming off a 15.5-sack campaign in 2018, the 25-year-old now has three sacks through six games.

Suiting up Sunday
Jones (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones worked as a full practice participant Thursday and Friday before being listed as questionable, so it's no real surprise to see him ready to play Sunday. DEs Alex Okafor (ankle) and Frank Clark (neck) are both inactive, as the Chiefs remain shorthanded on the defensive line despite Jones' return.

On track to play Sunday
Jones (groin) is expected to play Sunday against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jones is considered questionable but has a good chance of returning after putting in full practices Thursday and Friday. The 25-year-old missed the last three games but could provide a boost for the Chiefs' defensive line, which has been bitten by numerous injuries.

Questionable for Week 9

Analysis: Jones was able to practice fully Thursday and Friday, but he apparently didn't show enough to avoid the questionable tag. The 25-year-old appears on track to play after missing the last three games, but his availability won't be known for sure until Sunday.
