2025 Fantasy Outlook
After signing a three-year, $30.1 million contract with the Cardinals last offseason, Jones was expected to bolster the team's interior pass rush, but his campaign was cut short following Week 3 due to a triceps injury. He's topped out at 52 tackles (2022) and 4.5 sacks (2023) in his seven-year career, output that the 29-year-old may be able to replicate this season assuming he can avoid health concerns.

Back with the team
Jones is participating in OTAs after suffering a season-ending triceps injury in September of last year, Jess Root of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The defensive end started all three games he played in last season after signing a three-year, $30.1 million free-agent deal with the Cardinals in March 2024. Altogether, he has started 74 of the 90 games he's played in across a seven-year career with the Chargers, Bears and Cardinals. At defensive end, Arizona has Josh Sweat, who signed a four-year, $76.4 million deal with the team in March, and Darius Robinson, a 2024 first-round pick who played in only six games as a rookie due to a calf issue, but Jones should be in the mix for a leading role again.

Prior to signing with the Bears during the 2022 offseason, Jones wasn't a model of health, logging 14 DNPs in his first four campaigns with the Chargers. That said, he started all 34 regular-season games the last two years, responding with 101 tackles, including 7.5 sacks. Upon joining the Cardinals on a three-year, $30.1 million contract back in March, Jones will handle a similar workload as a starting defensive tackle in the desert.
