  • Anchors defense in third year

    Jones tallied 145 tackles (74 solo), 4.5 sacks and six passes defended during the 2023 regular season.

    Analysis: With former teammate Bobby Wagner departing for Seattle, the third-year pro took another leap in performance, setting career highs in snaps, tackles, sacks and passes defended while anchoring the defense alongside Aaron Donald. Jones' 145 tackles (in just 15 regular-season games) set the Rams record for most tackles in a single season, eclipsing the 142 James Laurinaitis recorded in 2011 and tied in 2012. Jones is entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2024, and given the multi-faceted…read more

  • Not playing Week 18

    Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones was among seven key contributors that the Rams listed as doubtful -- and one of five for noninjury reasons -- ahead of the regular-season finale. The Rams will be the NFC's No. 6 or 7 seed regardless of the outcome of Week 18 games, so Jones and some of the team's other stars will get a respite Sunday to avoid sustaining potential injuries in advance of the postseason. The linebacker finishes the regular season with 145 tackles, 4.5 sacks and six pass breakups over 15 appearances.

  • Will rest in Week 18

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said Jones won't play Sunday in San Francisco, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: With Los Angeles having locked up playoff spot, the team is electing to rest several of its starters on both sides of the ball in the regular-season finale. Jones thus will finish his third NFL season with a career-high 145 tackles (74 solo) to go with 4.5 sacks over 15 contests.

  • Team-high 13 tackles

    Jones recorded 13 tackles (seven solo), one quarterback hit and one tackle for loss during Sunday's 26-25 victory against the Giants.

    Analysis: Despite coming into the contest questionable with an illness, the third-year linebacker played every snap on defense and resumed his role as team leader in tackles. Jones' 13 stops marked his eighth time this season with double digits in that category, and his 145 tackles this season has him tied for seventh overall in the NFL with T.J. Edwards of the Bears heading into Week 18.

  • Playing Sunday

    Jones (illness) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Despite logging a DNP on Friday due to an illness, Jones will suit up in Week 17. The third-year linebacker out of South Carolina has appeared in 14 games this season, logging 132 total tackles, including 13 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. He'll look to cause problems for Tyrod Taylor and the Giants' offense Sunday.

    Jones (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Jones was added to the Rams' Week 17 injury report Friday, logging a DNP with an illness. He's had a breakout 2023 in the middle of the Rams' defense, logging a team-best 132 tackles (67 solo), including 4.5 sacks.

  • Dealing with illness

    Jones (illness) did not practice Friday, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Jones could be in jeopardy of missing the Rams' Week 17 affair after he was unable to practice Friday due to an illness. The third-year pro has started all 14 games he's appeared in for Los Angeles this season, logging 132 total tackles, including 13 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. Jones will almost certainly carry an injury designation into the weekend after missing Friday's practice.

    Jones recorded seven tackles (two solo), including a sack and additional tackle for loss, and a pass defended during Sunday's 28-20 victory against the Commanders.

    Analysis: Jones led the Rams' defense in tackling and got his second solo sack on the year midway through the first quarter on Lamar Jackson. It's the third time in four games that Jones has registered double-digit tackles and he's now up to 118 total tackles on the year, which surpasses his previous career-high of 114 the year prior.

  • Rams' leading tackler at Arizona

    Jones recorded six tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 37-14 win at the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Although it was Jones' second lowest tackle total so far this season, it was good enough for a team best in Week 12. He's in the midst of a career year, and he projects as a great IDP option come Week 13 versus the Browns.

  • Appears set to return Week 11

    Jones (knee) logged a full practice session Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Jones missed the Rams' Week 9 loss to the Packers due to a knee injury but had the team's Week 10 bye to recover. His ability to practice in full to begin Week 11 prep suggests that he should be able to suit up Sunday against Seattle. Despite having missed a game, Jones leads Los Angeles with 75 tackles on the campaign, taking another leap forward in his third NFL campaign.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Jones (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones will be inactive for Sunday's contest after recording consecutive DNPs during practice Wednesday and Thursday, but head coach Sean McVay expects that the 23-year-old linebacker will return after Los Angeles' Week 10 bye, per Rodrigue. Troy Reeder is expected to see an uptick in defensive snaps in Jones' stead.

  • Misses second straight practice

    Jones (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones was able to record eight tackles in Week 8 against the Cowboys, but he popped up on the Rams' injury report Wednesday after not participating in practice. His participation in Friday's practice session will give a clearer idea of whether he'll be able to play against the Packers on Sunday.

    Jones (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Jones popped up on injury report Wednesday, putting his status for Sunday's game versus the Packers into doubt. If the 23-year-old ends up being unable to play, Troy Reeder will start at linebacker in his place.

  • Eight tackles in defeat

    Jones recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 43-20 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Jones was questionable to play with a knee injury, but he was able to make the most of his time on the field, compiling at least eight takedowns for the seventh time this year.

  • Active for Week 8

    Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Jones was once again limited this week at practice as he continues to nurse a knee injury, but he will play through the injury in Week 8. The linebacker is coming off of a season-low four tackles in the team's Week 7 loss to the Steelers and he'll look to finish closer to the 10.5 tackles per game he had produced in the six games prior.

  • Deemed questionable for Week 8

    Jones (knee) is questionable to face Dallas on Sunday in Week 8, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones was limited during all three practice sessions this week as he continues to deal with a knee injury. However, Rams head coach Sean McVay indicated Wednesday that he doesn't expect Jones' game status to be affected by the issue this week. Jones has seen slightly smaller snap counts since suffering the injury prior to Week 6, but he's still played over 75 percent of Los Angeles' defensive snaps over the past two weeks and has totaled 14 tackles (eight solo) over that span.

  • Still limited by knee injury

    Jones (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Jones was able to play through his knee injury in Week 7, so any limitations at this point are likely just maintenance related. Even still, if he can't practice in full Thursday or Friday, he would figure to carry an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Active Sunday

    Jones (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

  • Questionable for game vs. Steelers

    Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Jones popped up on the Rams' injury report with a knee injury Wednesday, and he now seems like a coin-flip proposition to suit up for Week 7. If he's ultimately ruled out, Jake Hummel could see increased work Sunday.

  • Double-digit tackles in win

    Jones recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 26-9 victory against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: A swollen knee kept Jones out of practice until a limited showing on Friday, but it didn't stop the talented linebacker from again leading the Rams in tackles, a familiar refrain through the first third of the season. With a whopping 63 tackles through six games, Jones sits in a tie for fourth in stops with Baltimore linebacker Roquan Smith. He'll look to keep stuffing the stat sheet in a Week 7 contest against one of the weaker offenses in the league, the Steelers.

    Analysis: Jones continued his melting-hot start to the 2023 season in Week 4, tallying nine-plus tackles for the fourth consecutive game. The youngster is establishing himself as one of his team's best defensive players and a viable IDP option headed into a Week 5 matchup versus Philadelphia.

    Analysis: It was another big day for the third-year linebacker, who is on pace to shatter his career-high 112 tackles he recorded in 2022. Jones may get a chance to feast in Week 3 on a Bengals' offense that could be without Joe Burrow (calf).

  • Ready to go Sunday

    Jones (illness) is active Sunday against the 49ers.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Jones recorded nine tackles (four solo), including three tackles for loss, during Sunday's 30-13 victory over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: While former teammate Bobby Wagner put up a stunning 19-tackle (nine solo) day for Seattle, Jones saw five of his nine stops go for no gain or a loss, which leads the NFL through Week 1. The Seahawks were held to just 197 yards of total offense thanks in large part to Jones's quintet of big stops, and the Rams will need his big-play ability to contend against the high-octane 49ers offense in Week 2.

  • Shows improvement in second season

    Jones recorded 114 tackles (66 solo), two pass defenses, an interception and a forced fumble over 17 games in 2022.

    Analysis: Jones saw his snap count rise from 418 in 2021, his rookie season, to 693 this season, and paired up with star linebacker Bobby Wagner, the sophomore nearly doubled his tackle total in the process. Jones will enter the third year of his rookie deal and should continue to get additional playing time, especially considering the Rams may look to protect their stars a little more after a season in which the team was absolutely decimated by injury.

  • Returns to form after slump

    Jones recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: The second-year linebacker had been trending downward in recent weeks, logging only 19 tackles and an interception over his previous four games, but Jones bounced back and tied for the team lead in tackles with Taylor Rapp. Jones now sits with 109 tackles on the year, second on the team behind Bobby Wagner, and he will get one final chance to add to his totals against the Seahawks in Week 18.

  • Makes key pick in victory

    Jones recorded five tackles (one solo) and an interception during Thursday's 17-16 victory against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Late in the first half, the Raiders were deep in Rams territory and looked primed to tack on to their 13-3 lead, but Derek Carr threw a lob into the end zone under heavy pressure that Jones was able to tip back to himself and secure. That ended the Raiders' final first-half drive and proved pivotal in keeping the Rams in striking distance for their second-half rally. Jones and fellow linebacker Bobby Wagner made a big impact again, which has been a theme more often than not through the season,…read more

  • Logs eight stops Week 13

    Jones recorded eight tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-23 defeat versus the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Jones was considered questionable coming into Sunday's game after he dealt with back spasms during Week 13 prep. However, the second-year linebacker still managed to suit up and play at least 45 defensive snaps for the sixth game in a row. He now ranks second on the Rams in tackles (89) behind fellow inside linebacker Bobby Wagner (97). Jones should continue to play a prominent role against Las Vegas on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.

    Jones (back) is active Sunday against the Seahawks, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

  • Listed as questionable

    Jones (back) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.

    Analysis: Jones' questionable designation is due to lingering back spasms throughout the week. Some combination of Christian Rozeboom and Jake Gervase would be in line to replace his snaps at linebacker should he ultimately have to sit out.

    Jones did not participate in the Rams' practice Wednesday due to a back injury, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Jones logged 11 tackles while playing slightly below his usual share of the Rams' defensive snaps (63) Week 12, though it's unclear when this issue first arose. The second-year linebacker will now likely need to improve his practice activity Thursday and/or Friday, or else he could be in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season Sunday against Seattle.

  • Posts third game with 10-plus stops

    Jones recorded 11 tackles (six solo) and one quarterback hit during Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Jones sandwiched two big statistical games with 21 tackles (12 solo) between a rough outing against the Saints, where he notched just three solo tackles. The one area where Jones has yet to break through on the season is in the sack column, and he'll get his next chance to notch his first sack of the season against Geno Smith and the Seahawks in Week 13.

    Jones logged 10 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Jones logged double-digit tackles for the first time since recording a season-high 12 stops against Atlanta in Week 2. The 22-year-old also tallied one more tackle than fellow linebacker Bobby Wagner, despite playing 17 fewer defensive snaps. Jones has now increased his tackle total to 67 over nine games played, and he'll look to put up another prolific stat line against New Orleans this coming Sunday.

  • Eight tackles in loss

    Jones logged eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Jones tied safety Taylor Rapp as the Rams' second-leading tackler despite playing a season-low 48 defensive snaps Sunday. The second-year inside linebacker did play double-digit snaps on special teams for the first time in 2022, and he logged one of his solo stops in this phase. Jones has recorded 57 tackles (34 solo) and one pass defended over eight games this season, so he should continue to play a prominent role alongside Bobby Wagner this Sunday against Arizona.

  • Logs DNP Thursday with illness

    Jones (illness) didn't practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones popped up on the Rams' injury report as a non-participant in practice Thursday due to an illness, so his activity levels during Friday's session should be something worth monitoring. If the 22-year-old is unable to give it a go Sunday in Tampa Bay, then Jake Hummel (hip) and Christian Rozeboom are candidates for added linebacker reps in Week 9 behind starter Bobby Wagner.

  • Seven tackles in opener

    Jones notched seven tackles (five solo) and forced a fumble during Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: The second-year linebacker was able to strip James Cook early in the second quarter, and he was near the team lead in tackles despite taking the field for only 34 of the defense's 59 snaps.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Jones (illness) is questionable Sunday against the Titans.

    Analysis: Jones was unable to practice Friday, but considering he missed due to an illness and not an injury, it's hard to say how much that impacts his ability to hit the field Sunday.

  • Breaks out vs. Texans

    Jones notched nine tackles (seven solo), a half-sack, one pass breakup and one interception during Sunday's 38-22 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Jones, a rookie third-round pick, impressed in his first start of the season after primarily contributing on special teams during his first seven appearances. Los Angeles' decision to trade Kenny Young to Denver appeared to indicate confidence in Jones' ability to step into the lineup, and he proved more than capable of making an impact versus Houston. Going forward, the addition of Von Miller (ankle) stands to provide yet another boost for the Rams' linebacker corps.
