Notches another pick-six
Published: 2023-12-27
Jones totaled five tackles (four solo) and an interception that he returned for a touchdown in Monday's 20-14 victory against Kansas City.
Jones scored the second of two defensive touchdowns within a span of seven game seconds for the Raiders when he picked off a Patrick Mahomes pass and returned it 33 yards for a score in the second quarter. It was the third pick-six of the cornerback's career, two of which have come over the past two weeks. Jones has made a big impact since joining Las Vegas in mid-November, progressing to a near every-down role and tallying 20 tackles (17 solo) along with the pair of pick-sixes over four games.
Ready to rock

Jones (knee) is active for Monday's game against the Chiefs.
Jones was added to the injury report Saturday after a limited practice, being officially listed as questionable, but he's ready to suit up on the road in Kansas City. The second-year cornerback has played 83 and 78 percent of defensive snaps in his last two appearances, both season-high marks.
Questionable for Monday

Jones (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs.
The second-year cornerback out of Arizona State is coming off what was debatably the best game of his season in Week 15, but he popped up on the Raiders' injury report Saturday with a knee issue and his availability for Christmas day's contest is now up in the air. If Jones is unable to suit up Monday, Jakorian Bennett could be in for more work in Las Vegas' secondary.
Makes big splash on TNF

Jones tallied five tackles (four solo) and returned an interception for a touchdown in Thursday's 63-21 rout of the Chargers.
Jones played every defensive snap for the Raiders for the first time since he signed with the team Nov. 14. The second-year cornerback made arguably the play of the game when he made a one-handed interception of an Easton Stick pass attempt in the fourth quarter and returned it 16 yards for a score. Jones has now logged a pick-six in each of his first two NFL campaigns.
Gets claimed by Raiders
Published: 2023-11-14
Las Vegas claimed Jones off of waivers Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Just one day after being waived by New England, Jones has already found another opportunity with a new team. The Raiders' top corner in terms of snaps is currently 30-year-old Marcus Peters, so Jones could find his way onto the field sooner rather than later.
Gets waived

New England waived Jones on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Jones played just nine defensive snaps in the Patriots' loss against the Colts on Sunday, apparently losing his coaches' trust in favor of 2021 fifth-rounder Shaun Wade. He's shown flashes of stickiness in coverage when he's been able to stay on the field, so it would be surprising not to see him scooped up relatively soon after leaving New England.
Active Sunday
Published: 2023-10-22
Jones (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
The cornerback was activated from injured reserve Saturday and listed as questionable. Jones has yet to play in 2023. The 2022 fourth-round pick started two games last year and recorded 30 tackles, six passes defensed and two interceptions.
Activated from IR
Published: 2023-10-21
Jones (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Jones suffered a hamstring injury prior to the Patriots' season opener that's held him out thus far, and he's officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. The Arizona State product played a big role on New England's defense in 2022, recording 30 total tackles, six pass deflections and two interceptions (including one pick-six).
Designated for return
Published: 2023-10-17
The Patriots announced Tuesday that Jones (hamstring) has been designated for return from IR, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Jones' 21-day practice window now opens, putting him on track for his targeted late-October return. A hamstring injury suffered prior to New England's season-opener forced Jones to land on IR before suiting up for a single game, but he will now be eligible to play as early as Sunday versus the Bills, should the Patriots fully activate him ahead of the contest.
