Logs DNP Wednesday Jones (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones has missed the Bengals' last two games with the injury. He's seen just 26 snaps on offense this season, catching his only target for five yards way back in Week 1.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Baltimore Jones (groin) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.

Impact Jones has been listed as a DNP all week due to a groin injury, and as a result, the 2023 fourth-round pick will be sidelined for a second straight game. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 17. With Jones inactive, Chase Brown and Trenton Irwin will likely serve as the kick and punt returners, respectively, for the Bengals on Thursday.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely for Week 10 Jones (groin) has been listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Ravens.

Impact Jones missed the team's Week 9 win over the Raiders due to the injury and appears set to miss a second-straight game. His likely absence wouldn't impact the Bengals' offense, but it would leave them down their return man. Trenton Irwin would likely be cast in the role again, assuming Jones is inactive.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Draws DNP label again Jones (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Impact Jones picked up a groin injury in the lead up to the Bengals' Week 9 game against the Raiders, which was serious enough for him to sit out. His practice participation Wednesday will give a clearer indication on whether he'll be good to go against the Ravens on Thursday.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as DNP Jones (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.

Impact Jones was held out of the Bengals' Week 9 win over the Raiders after likely sustaining a groin injury in practice earlier in the week. The second-year pro will almost certainly need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Tuesday or Wednesday in order to suit up for Cincinnati's Week 10 matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Sunday Jones (groin) is inactive for Sunday's Week 9 battle against the Raiders.

Impact Jones popped up on the injury report with a groin injury Thursday and wasn't able to practice Friday. That wasn't a good sign heading into the weekend, and the second-year wideout is now set to miss his first game this season. Jones' absence will be particularly felt in the return game, as he's been handling kickoff and punt returns for the Bengals and notched a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in Week 7 against Cleveland. Trenton Irwin and/or Chase Brown may be asked to return kicks in Jones' stead Sunday.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Jones (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The second-year wide receiver from Purdue downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he could be trending toward not playing Sunday. If Jones can't play through his groin issue in Week 9, Chase Brown and Trenton Irwin are expected to take over as the Bengals' top kick and punt returners, respectively.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Pops up on injury report Jones (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones was able to practice in full Wednesday, but he was limited during Thursday's session, indicating that he may have picked up a groin injury during practice. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but Friday's practice report should provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Raiders. Jones has served as the Bengals' primary return man this season, but if he's unable to play, Chase Brown and Trenton Irwin would be the top candidates to handle kickoff and punt return duties Sunday.

Opens scoring for the Bengals Jones returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Browns.

Impact Jones received the kickoff on the goal line and blew past defenders, not getting touched until he reached midfield when he was grazed by kicker, Dustin Hopkins. Tony Brown and D'Anthony Bell both made attempts to bring him down, nearly pushing him out of bounds, but the Purdue product remained upright and narrowly dove into the endzone and hit the pylon. It was Jones' first career kick return for a touchdown, although he did return a punt for a touchdown during his rookie campaign.

Light role on offense in Week 6 Jones didn't draw a target on either of his two snaps on offense and returned a kickoff for 31 yards and three punts for 13 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants.

Impact Jones hasn't been targeted since Week 1 and has now played five snaps on offense or fewer in each of the past five games. Though he appears to be an injury or two away from carving out a meaningful role at receiver, Jones' standing as the Bengals' top kickoff and punt returner will allow him to remain active on game days.

Not involved in loss Jones failed to record a single target in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Jones saw a decrease in playing time in Week 2, seeing the field for just two offensive snaps against the Chiefs after playing eight snaps in Week 1. With just 10 offensive snaps through the Bengals' first two contests, the second-year wideout should remain far off the fantasy radar going forward, especially with teammate Tee Higgins (hamstring) nearing a return to the field. The Bengals host the Commanders in Week 3.

Targeted once against Patriots Jones caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Jones was minimally involved in the Bengals struggling offense Sunday, playing just eight of Cincinnati's 51 offensive snaps. Buried on the Bengals' receiver depth chart, the second-year wideout should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Bengals visit the Chiefs in Week 2, especially if teammate Tee Higgins (hamstring) returns to the lineup.

Impact Jones was carted off the practice field Thursday after banging knees with a defender during drills. He was unable to put weight on his leg following the incident, but it appears he has avoided serious injury for the time being. The 2023 fourth-round pick missed Saturday's 17-14 preseason loss to the Bucs, and he'll look to be available for the Bengals' second preseason contest against the Bears on Aug. 17.

Carted off practice field Jones (undisclosed) was carted off the field during Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, Jones couldn't put weight on his leg as he got into the cart, so it looks like the wideout could miss some time. Prior to his injury, Jones had been competing with Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burtonand Trenton Irwin for slotting behind top WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Targeted three times in win Jones secured two of three targets for 10 yards in Saturday's 27-24 win over the Vikings.

Impact Jones played on just four of the Cincinnati's 70 offensive snaps Saturday, the fewest of any Bengals pass catcher. The wideout's two grabs were his first since Week 3, as Jones has only been targeted in two of the eight games he has appeared in. Based on his extremely limited usage in the passing game, the rookie will be far off the fantasy radar when the Bengals visit the Steelers for a Week 16 matchup.
