Scores in team debut Jones secured five of nine targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 37-21 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact The veteran wideout got his Jaguars career off to a good start, bringing in a four-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence with five seconds remaining in the contest. While the score was meaningless in the context of the game result, it capped a positive day for Jones, who finished second in receiving yardage and was a co-runner-up in targets on the afternoon as well. Game script did force Trevor Lawrence to attempt 51 passes, however, so it remains to be seen how Jones will measure up to fellow wideouts DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault in looks in coming weeks.

Recovers from shoulder injury Jones (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game in Houston, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Impact With Jones and DJ Chark (finger) both avoiding the injury report, rookie QB Trevor Lawrence will have his full complement of pass catchers -- minus RB Travis Etienne (foot) -- available for the season opener. Jones, Chark and Laviska Shenault all are realistic candidates to lead the team in targets, and it's possible there's enough volume to keep all three fantasy-viable if the Jags end up chucking the ball around but don't find a major receiving threat at RB or TE. In any case, Jones starts his Jacksonville tenure with a favorable matchup, facing a rebuilding Houston team that just traded former starting cornerback Bradley Roby to the Saints.

On track for Week 1 Coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday that Jones (shoulder) is expected to be healthy for the Sept. 12 season opener at Houston, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The 31-year-old has been dealing with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder over the past week, but there's never been much doubt about his availability for Week 1. DJ Chark (finger) and Tavon Austin (quadriceps) are also expected to be good to go against the Texans. Jones, Chark and Laviska Shenault are poised to operate as Jacksonville's top three pass catchers with rookie Trevor Lawrence helming the offense.

Not practicing Jones (shoulder) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Jones is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, but the injury isn't expected to prevent him from being ready for Week 1 action. That said, it seems safe to assume that the wideout won't play in Sunday's preseason finale against the Cowboys. When available, Jones will combine with DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault to head the Jaguars' wide receiver corps this coming season, with the trio slated to catch passes from No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence, who was recently confirmed as the team's starting quarterback.

Should be ready for Week 1 Coach Urban Meyer indicated that Jones (shoulder) should be ready for Week 1 against the Texans, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Impact Jones has avoided a worst-case scenario with the AC joint sprain and looks to still be on track for the opener at this point. It will still be worth monitoring his progression leading up to the opener as Jones prepares to embark on his first season in Jacksonville with rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence at the helm. Jones joins a Jacksonville wideout group that features a pair of talented young wideouts in DJ Chark (finger) and Laviska Shenault.

Surprise, surprise: Jaguars make Trevor Lawrence starting QB
Trevor Lawrence will start Jacksonville’s season opener at Houston on Sept. 12AUGUST 25, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Diagnosed with AC joint sprain Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer said Wednesday that Jones is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Impact The wideout's status now will need to be monitored as Jacksonville's Sept. 12 season opener in Houston approaches. Once Jones takes the field in the regular season, he'll be catching passes from No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence, who was confirmed as the Jaguars' starting quarterback Wednesday.

Catches four passes Jones caught four of five targets for 41 yards in Monday night's 23-21 preseason loss to the Saints.
Impact Jones hauled in a couple of passes for first downs from quarterback Trevor Lawrence on Jacksonville's lone scoring drive of the first half. The veteran figures to be a reliable outlet for Lawrence should he be named the Jags' starter as expected, and Monday's performance helped that notion. With top wideout DJ Chark (finger) likely missing the whole preseason, Jones' rapport with Lawrence could be useful early in the upcoming campaign.

Impact The 31-year-old joined Jacksonville on a two-year, $14.5 million deal early in the offseason after spending the past five seasons in Detroit, and he's poised to work as his new team's No. 2 wide receiver. Jones brings a veteran presence to a young offense that will be led by rookie signal-caller Trevor Lawrence. Fourth-year wideout DJ Chark sits atop the depth chart, while Laviska Shenault and Collin Johnson are in their second years and in prime position to benefit from the veteran's presence. Jones had a strong showing for the Lions in 2020, catching 76 of 115 targets for 978 yards and nine touchdowns.
