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.

Let go by Cards
Jones (knee) was waived from injured reserve by the Cardinals on Wednesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones has been sidelined all season with a knee injury. Assuming he doesn't play at all in the current campaign, he'll have been active for only three games across the last two seasons combined.

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.
