News

  • Bothered by swollen knee

    Jones has been dealing with swelling in his knee, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones appeared to hyperextend his left knee on the opening kickoff of Friday's preseason win over Miami, but he stayed in the game briefly to take two carries for seven yards. A return to practice Tuesday doesn't necessarily mean he'll play in Friday's exhibition against Cleveland, though it would at least represent a step in the right direction.

  • Returns to practice field

    Jones (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, Eduardo Encina of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Jones appeared to hyper-extend his left knee on the opening kickoff of Friday's preseason win over the Dolphins, perhaps explaining why he was limited to two carries for seven yards. A return to practice Tuesday gives him a shot to play in Friday's exhibition against Cleveland, with the second-year pro continuing his battle against Peyton Barber in the Tampa backfield.

  • Limited by knee soreness

    Jones (knee) did not practice Monday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Auman additionally reported that Jones didn't have any sort of limp and that head coach Bruce Arians attributed Jones' absence strictly to soreness. The second-year back got plenty of work throughout training camp and logged a pair of carries in Friday's preseason win over the Dolphins, but Kevin O'Donnell of Fox13 tweeted a screen shot of a potential hyperextension that Jones may have suffered in his left knee while returning the opening kickoff of that contest. Jones should be considered…read more

  • Quiet in Game 2

    Jones rushed for seven yards on two carries during Friday's 16-14 preseason win over Miami. He added a 15-yard kick return during the contest.

    Analysis: Both Jones and Peyton Barber got their only two carries of the game during Tampa Bay's opening possession, neither doing much during the drive that ended in a punt. Tampa Bay ran the bulk of their first-team skill players out for just the first drive, and so it's hard to make much of anything that happened Friday. Coming off a rough rookie campaign, Jones still seems poised to share carries with Barber, who currently sits atop the depth chart. The overall running back pecking order could become…read more

  • Carries training camp momentum over

    Jones rushed four times for 18 yards and brought in his only target for five yards in the Buccaneers' 30-28 preseason loss to the Steelers on Friday. He also returned one kickoff for 19 yards.

    Analysis: With just five touches Friday, Jones already churned out more production than he did all of last preseason to kick off a disastrous rookie campaign. The second-year back has been lauded all offseason by the coaching staff for his conditioning, attitude and performance, and for at least one night, he proved he was capable of carrying that over into game action. Jones looked crisp and decisive on his runs, and the muscle he added over the last several months was evident in the power he…read more

  • Thrives during live tackling

    Jones stood out with two big plays in Tuesday's live-tackling practice session and remains a legitimate contender for the lead-back role, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. "He's an explosive player," coach Bruce Arians said of Jones. "He's going to be a happening player. He's going to make big plays like that."

    Analysis: Jones made waves with both a catch and run on third down and a big run up the middle during 11-on-11 work, plays that allowed him to flash both his trademark speed and the strength he's added over the offseason. The first play was particularly notable, with Smith relaying that Jones jumped over one defender and then broke two tackle attempts on his way to what appeared to be close to a 50-yard gain. The second-year back continues to receive plenty of accolades from the coaching staff, and after…read more

  • Bulks up in offseason

    Jones is up to 221 pounds after playing at approximately 208 pounds during his rookie season last year, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: The added weight is by design, with Jones emphasizing he's been working with a personal trainer this offseason and following a nutritional regimen designed to add lean muscle. The decision to add extra pounds is somewhat interesting for Jones, whose speed was one of the main factors that inspired the Buccaneers' previous regime to select him with the 38th overall pick of the 2018 draft. Jones appears to have a clean slate with the new coaching staff headed by Bruce Arians and has received…read more

  • Displays offseason progress

    The Buccaneers are excited about the progress Jones displayed during their offseason program, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Actions speak louder than words, and the Bucs certainly made a statement with their lack of offseason additions to the backfield. Everything points to a fantastic opportunity for Jones, a 2018 second-round pick who averaged 1.9 yards on 23 carries and 4.7 yards on seven catches in nine games during his rookie season. He'll likely open training camp sharing first-team snaps with Peyton Barber, while the rest of the depth chart holds Dare Ogunbowale, 30-year-old Andre Ellington and undrafted…read more

  • Impressing in OTAs

    Jones has been impressive as both a runner and receiver during the first two weeks of OTAs, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Perhaps no player on the offense has more to prove than Jones, who fell disastrously short of expectations as a 2018 second-round selection. His offseason got off to a positive start off the field with an early endorsement from new coach Bruce Arians, and the second-year back has validated the vote of confidence over the first two weeks of on-field work. On Thursday, Jones looked particularly elusive after bringing in passes, according to Vitali. Plus, Jones also earned praise from Arians after…read more

  • Off to good start under Arians

    General manager Jason Licht said Jones has impressed the new coaching staff more than any other player so far this spring, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 2018 second-round pick barely played as a rookie and struggled with his rare opportunities, but coach Bruce Arians made it clear Jones would have a chance to prove himself in a new system. While he could face more competition after the 2019 NFL Draft, the 21-year-old currently finds himself in an underwhelming backfield alongside Peyton Barber, Shaun Wilson, Andre Ellington and Dare Ogunbowale. The Buccaneers do seem to be fond of Barber, who managed just 3.7 yards per carry and 4.6 per…read more

  • Getting attention from Arians

    Coach Bruce Arians said Wednesday that he's excited to see if Jones can do some of the things with Tampa Bay that David Johnson did in the offensive scheme Arians oversaw during his tenure with the Cardinals, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's hard to make a serious comparison between the two players, given that Johnson holds a clear advantage in nearly every aspect besides straight-line speed. To be fair, Jones didn't have much chance to succeed as a rookie second-round pick in 2018, seeing just 23 carries and nine targets in nine games behind a bad offensive line. While he still offers some promise as a big-play threat, the USC product hasn't displayed much aptitude in the passing game, which is a serious obstacle to earning…read more

  • Out of game plan in finale

    Jones played only one offensive snap Sunday in the Buccaneers' 34-32 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: For the final quarter of his rookie season, Jones earned only one touch on offense while being mostly relegated to a special-teams role. It amounts to a disappointing conclusion for Jones, who was expected to vie for the starting role when he was selected with a second-round pick back in April. Instead, Peyton Barber served as the top ballcarrier throughout the season while Jacquizz Rodgers handled much of the passing-down work, even though neither player was particularly efficient with his…read more

  • Non-factor in second straight game

    Jones brought in one of two targets for minus-2 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-12 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Just another forgettable game for the rookie, who's seen his first year in the NFL become a total washout. Jones' sole touch Sunday was his only one of the past two games, and he logged a meager four snaps from scrimmage for the second straight week. With his primary usage coming on coverage units, Jones has next to no fantasy value in any format.

  • No touches in Week 14 loss

    Jones saw only four snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Saints but didn't log any touches.

    Analysis: The rookie's complete lack of involvement on offense speaks to his spot in the current pecking order. He does continue to put in time on return units, as he logged a total of 14 plays in that capacity Sunday. Given that veteran Jacquizz Rodgers has been a much more productive complementary option to starter Peyton Barber, Jones' fantasy outlook remains bleak.

  • Lackluster in return

    Jones rushed four times for two yards in the Buccaneers' 24-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Making his return after a four-game absence, Jones essentially picked up where he'd left off, not a positive by any means in his case. The rookie's production was as middling as it was prior to his injury, and he's yet to top 3.0 yards per carry in any of the five regular-season games he's suited up for. Jones appears destined to remain firmly behind Peyton Barber in the backfield pecking order for the last four games of the regular season.

  • Should be active this week

    Coach Dirk Koetter said Jones will play in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Previously bothered by a hamstring injury, Jones was essentially a healthy scratch for last week's 27-9 win over San Francisco, as he landed on the inactive list despite logging full participation in every practice. It's unclear if the rookie's upcoming active status is related to Peyton Barber's ankle issue, but there hasn't been any indication Barber is in danger of actually missing the game. While it would be unwise to count on Jones for any significant level of involvement this week, the…read more

  • Finally free of injury

    Jones (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Buccaneers' injury report Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Since straining his hamstring Week 8, Jones was a regular presence on those reports, missing four games in the process. With the injury behind him, he can focus on regaining a foothold in Tampa Bay's backfield, which has been dominated by Peyton Barber and Jacquizz Rodgers this season to the tune of 19.5 touches per game between the duo.

  • Sitting again in Week 12

    Jones (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 12 tilt against the 49ers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones is somewhat of a surprise inactive after practicing in full all week, but given his middling production when he's suited up, the Buccaneers don't seem to have much urgency to get him back into game action. Veteran Jacquizz Rodgers should once again serve as Peyton Barber's primary backup against the 49ers.

  • Deemed questionable for Week 12

    Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers despite logging full practices throughout the week, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The practice regimen suggests Jones is healthy enough to play, but it isn't out of the question for the Bucs to essentially make him a healthy scratch. Of course, the team would be wise to give him a closer look at some point over the final six weeks of the season, considering lead back Peyton Barber is a known commodity (and an unspectacular one at that). Jones figures to get some touches if he returns for Sunday's game.

  • Starts week as full participant

    Jones (hamstring) was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: A limited participant all last week, Jones ultimately was ruled out two days ahead of Sunday's eventual 38-35 loss to the Giants. Jones' progression to full participation suggests he should be back for the Week 12 against San Francisco, but there's no guarantee of a sizable role after Peyton Barber just turned in his best game of the season. It makes sense for the Bucs to give Jones a better look down the stretch, as they don't have any chance to make the playoffs and presumably hope the rookie…read more

  • Missing third straight game

    Jones (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones took a step forward in his recovery from a hamstring strain by practicing Wednesday through Friday in a limited fashion, but it wasn't enough for the Buccaneers to sign off on his availability for game action. With the rookie now set to miss a third straight contest, Jacquizz Rodgers should be locked in as the clear top backup to starting running back Peyton Barber for one more week. Jones will turn his focus to building up to full practice participation with the hope of playing in the…read more

  • Practicing for third straight day

    Jones (hamstring) took part in Friday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It remains uncertain if Jones will be available Sunday against the Giants, but he has at least given himself a chance to play by taking part in each of the Buccaneers' three practice sessions this week. A better estimate of his Week 11 will status can be made when Tampa Bay releases its final injury report of the week later Friday.

  • Limited again Thursday

    Jones (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The fact that Jones has been on the field -- albeit in a limited fashion -- for the Buccaneers' first two sessions of the week offers some encouragement that he might be able to give it a go Sunday against the Giants. Unless the rookie fits in a full practice Friday, however, he'll likely carry a questionable designation into the weekend. If Jones is ultimately cleared to play in Week 11, there's a decent chance the Buccaneers restrict his workload, given that he had missed the team's prior two…read more

  • Returns in limited fashion

    Jones (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: For the first time since Oct. 28, Jones handled some practice reps as he works his way back from a hamstring injury that forced absences Weeks 9 and 10. Prior to returning to practice, the rookie told Jenna Laine of ESPN.com that his hamstring is "feeling really good." While he's taken a step in the right direction, Jones likely has to emerge from the week setback-free before gaining clearance to play Sunday versus the Giants.

    Jones (hamstring) will attempt to practice Wednesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones hasn't taken the practice field since suffering a hamstring strain Oct. 28, missing two games in the meantime. Per Laine, Jones said the hamstring is "feeling really good," a sign that he's closing in on a return. Wednesday's practice report will reveal whether the 2018 second-round pick was able to suit up and participate.

  • Sidelined again Week 10

    Jones II (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Redskins, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones has yet to practice since straining his hamstring Oct. 28, forcing back-to-back absences so far. During the rookie running back's first DNP this past Sunday at Carolina, Peyton Barber led the Buccaneers backfield, per usual, but Jacquizz Rodgers was just behind him in terms of offensive snap count (35 versus 26).

  • Absent for practice again

    Jones (hamstring) wasn't on the field for Thursday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Jones still has yet to practice since suffering a strained hamstring Oct. 28 against the Bengals and looks in danger of missing his second straight contest Sunday versus Washington. For what it's worth, Jones has been able to do elliptical work and told Jenna Laine of ESPN.com that he's feeling better, but he'll need to put in some on-field work before gaining clearance to play again. If the rookie is sidelined this weekend as anticipated, Peyton Barber would have a clear path to handling the…read more

  • Missing more practice time

    Jones (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones was unable to practice in any capacity last week and isn't on the right track to avoid a multi-game absence. Peyton Barber (ankle) was unable to take advantage of the rookie's inactive status in Sunday's 42-28 loss to the Panthers, as the Bucs were forced to play from behind all afternoon and abandon the run game early. A Week 10 home game against the injury-riddled Redskins sets up much better for Barber to stay involved, assuming his own injury isn't a major concern.

  • Officially ruled out

    The Buccaneers ruled Jones (hamstring) out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones didn't practice at all this week and never really had much hope of playing after it was revealed he was dealing with a strained hamstring in the aftermath of the Week 8 loss to the Bengals. The rookie's absence gives Peyton Barber a higher degree of workload certainty, while undrafted rookie Shaun Wilson is expected to be active as the No. 3 running back behind Barber and Jacquizz Rodgers.
