News

  • Surprise scratch Thursday

    Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Even with Alvin Kamara (knee) sidelined for a fourth straight contest, the Saints will keep Jones in street clothes in this one. Instead, Mark Ingram is slated to handle the bulk of the reps out of the backfield, with wide receiver Ty Montgomery, fullback Adam Prentice and special teamer Dwayne Washington on hand for complementary work.

  • Likely headed for reserve role

    Jones is expected to serve as the Saints' No. 2 running back Thursday against the Cowboys with Mark Ingram (knee) in line to start in his return from a one-game absence, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Alvin Kamara (knee) sits atop the Saints' depth chart and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game, but Jane Slater and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier in the day that the 26-year-old will ultimately be sidelined for a fourth straight game while he contends with a sprained MCL. The Saints won't officially confirm Kamara's status until he's included on the team's inactive list that will be released 90 minutes prior to kickoff, but his absence likely won't be enough to ensure…read more

  • Leads backfield amid injuries

    Jones rushed 16 times for 27 yards during Thursday's 31-6 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: With Alvin Kamara (knee) and Mark Ingram (knee) sidelined, Jones clearly served as the top option on early downs. However, the return of lineman Terron Armstead wasn't enough to help him overcome the struggles of this Trevor Siemian-led offense, and Ty Montgomery stole a bunch of work on passing downs en route to seven targets. Even if Kamara and Ingram remain sidelined in Week 13 against Dallas, Jones seems hard to trust as a touchdown-dependent fantasy asset.

  • Primed for bigger workload Thursday

    Jones is poised to be the Saints' lead running back Thursday against the Bills with both Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram sidelined due to knee injuries, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While Kamara is missing a third consecutive contest, Ingram is logging his first absence since returning to New Orleans via trade from Houston back on Oct. 27. Jones thus is in line for more work, but his small sample isn't particularly encouraging. In five appearances this season, he's averaged 3.6 yards on 22 carries and hauled in four of six targets for 10 yards. Aside from Jones, the Saints likely will give wide receiver Ty Montgomery and special teamer Dwayne Washington some run out of the…read more

  • More work possible Thursday

    Jones could be in line for a bigger workload Thursday against the Bills with Alvin Kamara (knee) ruled out and Mark Ingram (knee) questionable for the contest, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kamara's sprained MCL is forcing him out for a third straight game, while Ingram was listed as limited twice and with no activity once on Saints practice reports during Week 12 prep. If Ingram ends up joining Kamara as inactive Thursday, Jones, special-teamer Dwayne Washington, fullback Alex Armah and wide receiver Ty Montgomery would be the candidates for backfield reps. To date, Jones has gotten the most work among the quartet out of the backfield this season, averaging 3.6 yards on his 22…read more

  • Minimal role in return to lineup

    Jones rushed three times for two yards during Sunday's 40-29 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: In his first game back from an ankle injury, Jones barely saw any work despite the absence of Alvin Kamara (knee). Instead, Mark Ingram (24 combined carries and targets) almost exclusively carried the load. Even if Kamara remains sidelined in Week 12 against Buffalo, Jones does not seem like an advisable fantasy option in any format.

  • Opening looms in return from IR

    Jones (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL media's transactions page.

    Analysis: Jones is back on the roster just in time for an intriguing opportunity Sunday in Philadelphia, as workhorse Alvin Kamara (knee) has been ruled out. While Mark Ingram is expected to get the starting nod in Kamara's absence, Jones is slated to work as his top backup ahead of special teams contributor Dwayne Washington. Jones averaged a respectable 4.1 yards per carry on 19 attempts in four games prior to injuring his ankle.

  • On track to be activated

    Jones (ankle) appears on track to be activated from injured reserve before Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Jones returned to practice Wednesday after a month-and-a-half absence, and he may now step right back in as the No. 2 running back, this time behind Mark Ingram instead of Alvin Kamara (knee). With both Kamara and slot receiver/scatback Ty Montgomery (finger) ruled out, the Saints are left with Ingram and special teamer Dwayne Washington as the backfield options apart from Jones. Last week, Ingram took on 18 touches and played 85 percent of the snaps in a loss to Tennessee, though Montgomery…read more

  • Returns to practice

    The Saints designated Jones (ankle) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Along with Jones, the Saints had top back Alvin Kamara back in practice Wednesday after Kamara missed a Week 10 loss to Tennessee with a minor knee sprain. Mark Ingram filled in and took on a a three-down role this past Sunday, but there's still some chance for Jones to be the No. 2 back once he's healthy. Jones last played in Week 4, taking 23 touches for 87 yards over the first four games of the season.

  • Heads to injured reserve

    The Saints placed Jones (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jones is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks anyway after injuring his ankle this past Sunday versus the Giants. With this transaction, he'll officially be out for at least the next three games, as he won't be eligible to return from IR until prior to the Saints' Nov. 7 contest against the Falcons. While Jones is sidelined, New Orleans may rely on Alvin Kamara even more out of the backfield, with the remaining touches going to depth backs Dwayne Washington and newcomer Devine Ozigbo.

  • To be sidelined 3-4 weeks

    Jones (ankle) is in line to miss the next 3-4 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Prior to getting carted off the field this past Sunday against the Giants, Jones experienced a decreasing share of the offensive snaps in each of the Saints' four games. On the season, he's turned 19 carries into 77 yards and caught four of six passes for 10 yards. New Orleans figures to sign a depth running back in short order to back up Alvin Kamara after working out Duke Johnson, Lamar Miller, Brian Hill, Ito Smith and Ryquell Armstead on Tuesday.

  • Carted off with ankle injury

    Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Giants with an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Jones was carted off the field in the second quarter, though the nature of his injury was not apparent at the time. Dwayne Washington has served as the team's second back in the absence of Jones, though he's seen very limited work behind Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill.

  • Four touches against Patriots

    Jones rushed twice for 12 yards and caught two of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 28-13 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: With Alvin Kamara again commanding over 80 percent of the offensive snaps, Jones was nothing more than a change-of-pace option who seemingly lacks the standalone fantasy value that Latavius Murray once had with the Saints. As such, the 11 carries Jones saw Week 1 against Green Bay are looking more and more like a product of the blowout nature of the game than anything else. While Jones would have significant fantasy value if anything happens to Kamara, he's probably not even a consideration for…read more

  • Little work in loss

    Jones carried the ball three times for seven yards in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: The Saints' offense had no success moving the ball at all, leaving few touches and little room to operate for the rookie running back. Jones remains firmly behind Alvin Kamara on the depth chart, and the game script may not favor him getting much work in Week 3 as New Orleans is on the road in New England.

  • Totals 53 yards

    Jones rushed 11 times for 50 yards while securing his only target for three yards during Sunday's 38-3 win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Jones was mixed into the offense from the second series onwards, but his final numbers probably overstate his involvement in the run game considering he rushed four straight times to run out the clock when the Saints were up 28 with less than two minutes remaining. The seven carries he otherwise saw were less than Latavius Murray's average of 9.6 rushing attempts from last year. Meanwhile Alvin Kamara's 20 carries was a hike from the 12.5 he averaged in 2020. If this sort of split holds, Jones…read more

  • Top backup to Kamara

    Jones will begin the season as the Saints' No. 2 running back after Latavius Murray was released Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Jones was pushing for the No. 2 role behind Alvin Kamara throughout training camp, and the release of Murray indicates New Orleans is comfortable with Jones in that role. Jones spent last season on the practice squad before being promoted for Week 17 and carrying the ball three times for 13 yards. Kamara will remain the top dog in the backfield as long as he stays healthy, but Jones is now in line for occasional snaps and carries as the top backup.

  • Possible backup to Kamara

    Jones could be the Saints' No. 2 running back heading into the regular season, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones is at least the No. 3 running back behind Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray, especially after Devonta Freeman was released Tuesday. However, the 30-year-old Murray took limited snaps during training camp before being significantly outproduced by the 23-year-old Jones during the preseason. Even if Murray remains in the No. 2 role early on this season, it wouldn't be a surprise if Jones were to take it from him at some point down the road.

  • Strengthens case for roster spot

    Jones has made a strong impression through two preseason games, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Jeff Duncan of The Athletic goes a step further and calls Jones the second-best running back on the Saints' roster -- a comment that's primarily meant as praise but also adds to the growing doubts surrounding Latavius Murray. While Murray survived a purge of veteran players earlier this offseason, the 31-year-old isn't necessarily safe as he sports a non-guaranteed $2.95 million base salary while Jones and Devonta Freeman are signed for much less. Jones and Murray are the names to watch behind…read more
