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.

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.

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.

Going forward, the addition of Von Miller (ankle) stands to provide yet another boost for the Rams' linebacker corps.
