News

  • 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). Jones should continue to play a prominent role against Las Vegas on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.

  • Ready to go Sunday

    Jones (back) is active Sunday against the Seahawks, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones has dealt with back spasms throughout the week, but he's feeling well enough to take the field Sunday. He should draw the start at inside linebacker and play his typical workload.

  • Listed as questionable

    Jones (back) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.

    Analysis: Jones' questionable designation is due to lingering back spasms throughout the week. Some combination of Christian Rozeboom and Jake Gervase would be in line to replace his snaps at linebacker should he ultimately have to sit out.

  • Sidelined Wednesday

    Jones did not participate in the Rams' practice Wednesday due to a back injury, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Jones logged 11 tackles while playing slightly below his usual share of the Rams' defensive snaps (63) Week 12, though it's unclear when this issue first arose. 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. Jones has recorded 81 tackles, one pass defended and one forced fumble while playing alongside star inside linebacker Bobby Wagner this…read more

  • 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.

  • Posts 10 stops Sunday

    Jones logged 10 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

    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. Jones has now increased his tackle total to 67 over nine games played, and he'll look to put up another prolific stat line against New Orleans this coming Sunday.

  • 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.

  • No injury designation

    Jones doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones landed on the injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to an illness, but he returned to practice Friday as a full participant. The second-year linebacker has totaled 49 tackles, one pass defense and one forced fumble across seven appearances this season.

  • Logs DNP Thursday with illness

    Jones (illness) didn't practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones popped up on the Rams' injury report as a non-participant in practice Thursday due to an illness, so his activity levels during Friday's session should be something worth monitoring. If the 22-year-old is unable to give it a go Sunday in Tampa Bay, then Jake Hummel (hip) and Christian Rozeboom are candidates for added linebacker reps in Week 9 behind starter Bobby Wagner.

  • Seven tackles in win

    Jones recorded seven tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Jones tied Bobby Wagner for a team-high seven stops during Sunday's win. The second-year linebacker has played at least 30 defensive snaps and recorded five-plus tackles in each game this season, totaling 42 stops through six appearances.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Jones recorded 12 tackles (five solo) in the Rams' 31-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Despite only playing 79 percent of defensive snaps, the No. 2 linebacker for the Rams still led the team in tackles and has proven himself to be a solid contributor alongside Bobby Wagner. Jones should find himself busy again in a Week 3 contest against the Raiders.

  • Seven tackles in opener

    Jones notched seven tackles (five solo) and forced a fumble during Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: The second-year linebacker was able to strip James Cook early in the second quarter, and he was near the team lead in tackles despite taking the field for only 34 of the defense's 59 snaps. Jones will look to continue stuffing the stat box in a tantalizing matchup against the Falcons in Week 2.

  • Activated from IR

    The Rams activated Jones (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Jones had been sidelined since sustaining a high-ankle sprain in late December, but he'll be available for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers. However, defensive coordinator Raheem Morris said Thursday that Jones' workload will likely be monitored Sunday.

  • Chance to return Sunday

    Jones (ankle) has a chance to return for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones sustained a high-ankle sprain in late December and hasn't returned to game action since then despite being designated to return from injured reserve last week. Even if the 22-year-old is available against San Francisco on Sunday, defensive coordinator Raheem Morris said Thursday that the team will likely monitor Jones' workload during the NFC Championship Game.

  • Not ready to return

    Jones (ankle) won't be activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jones was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday but will need more practice time before potentially rejoining the active roster. He landed on the shelf with a high-ankle sprain in late December and missed the final two games of the regular season.

  • Designated to return

    Jones (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: Coach Sean McVay expressed optimism Tuesday that Jones would be able to return to the field this week, and the 22-year-old has now been cleared to rejoin the Rams at practice. It's not yet clear whether he'll have enough time to prepare for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Buccaneers, but he's trending in the right direction in his recovery.

    Jones (ankle) has a chance to return this week ahead of the Rams' divisional-round contest against the Buccaneers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Sean McVay said Tuesday that said it's a "possibility" the linebacker could have his activation window opened this week. Jones has been sidelined since suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Rams' Week 16 victory over the Vikings.

  • Officially placed on IR

    Jones (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: The linebacker underwent surgery Monday for his high-ankle sprain and will now target a potential return to action at some point in the postseason. While Jones is out, both Christian Rozeboom and Travin Howard could see larger roles at linebacker.

  • Expected to land on IR

    Jones (ankle) underwent surgery Monday and is in line to land on the Rams' injured reserve, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.

    Analysis: Jones will presumably target a potential return to action during the postseason. His soon-to-be IR stint, which should be made official in the coming days, figures to free up an opportunity for either Christian Rozeboom or Travin Howard at inside linebacker.

  • Believed to have high-ankle sprain

  • Won't return Sunday

    Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

    Jones had nine tackles (five solo), a half-sack and a pass defensed during Sunday's 37-7 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Jones tied his season high with nine tackles while playing all but three defensive snaps. The rookie third-round pick began the season in a reserve role but has been a significant member of the defense since Kenny Young was shipped to Denver in late October.

  • Active Sunday

    Jones (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jones was held out of practice Friday due to an illness, but he'll be able to take the field for Sunday night's contest. Across the last three weeks, the 21-year-old has logged 15 tackles (11 solo), 0.5 sacks and an interception.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Jones (illness) is questionable Sunday against the Titans.

    Analysis: Jones was unable to practice Friday, but considering he missed due to an illness and not an injury, it's hard to say how much that impacts his ability to hit the field Sunday. Jones is fresh off his biggest contribution of the season and will try to be ready Sunday against the Titans.

  • Breaks out vs. Texans

    Jones notched nine tackles (seven solo), a half-sack, one pass breakup and one interception during Sunday's 38-22 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Jones, a rookie third-round pick, impressed in his first start of the season after primarily contributing on special teams during his first seven appearances. Los Angeles' decision to trade Kenny Young to Denver appeared to indicate confidence in Jones' ability to step into the lineup, and he proved more than capable of making an impact versus Houston. Going forward, the addition of Von Miller (ankle) stands to provide yet another boost for the Rams' linebacker corps.
