DRE'MONT JONES NEWS

Sitting Sunday Jones (foot) is inactive Sunday against the Bengals, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Jones was considered doubtful coming into Sunday after not being able to practice all week. His absence will be a blow to the Broncos' pass rush, and Shamar Stephen will likely be asked to step up and supplement Jones' production.

Doubtful for Sunday Jones (foot) is doubtful for Sunday against the Bengals, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Jones hasn't been able to log a practice of any capacity all week. With 5.5 sacks over his last six games, Jones' potential absence would be a block to the Broncos' defensive line. Shamar Stephen would likely be the beneficiary of an increased workload if Jones were unable to suit up.

Active for Week 4 Jones (calf) is active for Sunday's contest against the Ravens.

Impact After being a full participant in practice to start the week, Jones landed on the injury report Friday. The 24-year-old defensive end has played 30-plus defensive snaps in all three games this season, but it's unclear if he will be on a snap limit due to the calf injury.

Lands on injury report Jones (calf) is considered questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Ravens, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Impact Jones was not present on the team's injury report prior to Friday, as he was a full participant at practice all week. However, he appears to have tweaked something in his calf. Shamar Stephen would likely be in line to replace him at defensive end if he ends up being unable to suit up.

Does well in first season starting Jones finished the 2020 campaign with 41 tackles, 6.5 sacks and two passes defensed. 

Impact The addition of Jurrell Casey was supposed to squeeze the sophomore out of the starting lineup, but Casey went down for the season in Week 2 after suffering a biceps injury. Jones thereafter showed why the team had faith in him heading into the season, finishing third on the team with 6.5 sacks. A Vic Fangio favorite, Jones is likely to start along the defensive line in 2021 as the team figures to bring back only one of Casey and Shelby Harris.

Sack on Sunday Jones recorded three tackles (two solo) and a sack across 41 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

Impact Jones now has five sacks on the season, the third-highest total on the Broncos this season. Over the past four weeks, he has played in 67 percent of the defensive snaps, the highest total of any defensive end in Denver.

Rings up career-high nine stops Jones made nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Saints.

Impact Jones continues to establish himself as the team's starting defensive end, as he has registered a 58 percent snap share or better in six straight games. The Ohio State product has totaled 24 tackles and three sacks in that stretch, and he came through with a career high in stops in Week 12.

Picks up sack against Dolphins Jones recorded three tackles and a sack during Sunday's 20-13 win over Miami.

Impact The sack was Jones' second in his last three games as the Broncos swarmed Tua Tagovailoa for six total sacks. Jones has made the most of his increased opportunities with both Jurrell Casey (biceps) and Shelby Harris (COVID-19) out of the lineup. Harris may return Sunday against the Saints, which should help prevent the Saints from keying on the sophomore lineman. New Orleans ranks eleventh in the league in 2020, surrendering 16 sacks thus far this season.

Records sack against Atlanta Jones posted two solo tackles, a sack and a pass breakup in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Since returning from a knee injury in Week 7, Jones has posted two sacks in three games. His fantasy floor is negligible with just seven tackles in that stretch, but the 2019 third-round pick is handling reps as the starting defensive end and is developing as a pass rusher.

Lifted from IR The Broncos activated Jones (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Jones was handed a 4-to-6 week timeline after suffering a PCL strain in the Week 2 loss to Pittsburgh, and he'll make his return to the lineup Sunday against the Chiefs. During his stint on IR, Jurrell Casey (biceps) was ruled out for the season, so Jones could return to an expanded role at defensive end. The 2019 third-rounder posted four tackles and played 58 defensive snaps through the first two games of the year.

Slated to return from IR Jones (knee) is expected to return to practice Wednesday, indicating the beginning of his 21-day window to be activated from IR, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Jones has been sidelined since suffering a knee injury in Week 2 against the Steelers. He was handed a 4-to-6 week timeline, so his return to the lineup this Sunday against the Chiefs would line up. Jurrell Casey (biceps) was ruled out for the season a few weeks ago, so Jones is slated to secure a starting defensive end job upon return to the lineup.

Will miss 4-to-6 weeks Jones (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Jones has a PCL strain that will keep him out 4-to-6 weeks, so he'll target a return in late October. The 2019 third-round pick carved out a decent workload to begin the season and recorded four total tackles through two games. With DeMarcus Walker also leaving this past Sunday's game with a calf injury, the Broncos may need reinforcements at defensive end before Week 3's matchup versus the Buccaneers.

Hurts knee in loss Jones suffered a knee injury in the second half of Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Steelers and didn't return to the game, Jeff Legwold and Adam Schefter of ESPN.com report.

Impact The severity of Jones' knee injury is not yet known, but the Broncos should have an update on the initial injury report as they start preparing for a Week 3 clash with the Buccaneers.
