Jones (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Jones upgraded to limited participation in Friday's practice after logging DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, indicating he could be trending in the right direction ahead of the Week 12 divisional matchup. The Raiders will be without their top three corners if Jones cannot suit up Sunday, as both Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) and Nate Hobbs (ankle) have already been ruled out. Darnay Holmes, Decamerion Richardson and Sam Webb are all expected to see expanded roles in Las Vegas' secondary.

Raiders' Jack Jones: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
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 the Christmas Day 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.

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.

Patriots' Jack Jones: Gearing up for return
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) took part in practice Tuesday and has been designated for return from injured reserve, 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.

Rotowire
Head coach Bill Belichick said Wednesday that Jones "should be available" for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Mike Kadlick of 93.7 WEEI Boston reports.

Patriots' Jack Jones: Dealing with bone bruise
Rotowire
Jones said postgame that he was forced out of Monday's 27-13 win over the Cardinals with a bone bruise in his left knee, Dakota Randall of NESN.com reports.
Jones was not able to return following the opening series of the game, and he was seen with a sleeve on his left leg while moving with a limp, per Randall. However, the rookie cornerback expressed optimism that he would still be available to play Week 15 against Las Vegas, per Randall. Jones quickly stepped up into a prominent role in the Patriots' defense, recording 30 tackles, five passes defended and two interceptions, including a pick-six. Therefore, his potential absence would definitely be a tough loss while facing a Raiders passing game headlined by star wideout Davante Adams.

Patriots' Jack Jones: Forces two takeaways Sunday
Rotowire
Jones totaled seven tackles (three solo), a pick-six, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery during the Patriots' 27-24 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Jones drew his first career start Sunday, and he was responsible for two takeaways during the narrow loss. He recovered a fumble that he forced in the first quarter before returning an interception for a touchdown just before halftime. The interception was the first of Jones' career, and it marked just the fourth time that Aaron Rodgers has had one of his interceptions returned for a touchdown. It's possible that Jones sees a decreased role once Jalen Mills (hamstring) is cleared to return, but the rookie fourth-rounder's performance against Green Bay was certainly encouraging.
