Taken off IR with injury settlement
The Cardinals removed Jones (shoulder) from the reserve/injured list Friday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones suffered the shoulder injury in the Cardinals' preseason finale against the Broncos on Sunday. He was set to miss the entire 2024 season after being placed on IR on Tuesday, but the injury settlement will allow him to sign with a team once fully healthy. Jones played in seven regular-season games in 2023 (four with Arizona, three with New Orleans), and he finished the season with 26 carries for 95 yards and two touchdowns along with seven catches (on 10 targets) for 37 yards.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
After playing in both New Orleans and Seattle in 2022, the Broncos signed Jones to a one-year deal this offseason. The 25-year-old played in six games last season, rushing just 10 times for 24 yards and reeling in five catches for 30 yards. Jones will be reunited with Denver's new head coach Sean Payton, who he played under while both were with the Saints. The 5-11, 224-pounder slots in as a depth option in the running back room behind both Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine, but Jones' familiarity with the offensive system should help him to carve out a third-string role with his new team. Jones was cut by the Broncos at the end of training camp and signed to the Saints practice squad.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could have big role Week 14
Jones could have an expanded role in Week 14 against the Panthers with Kenneth Walker missing practice Wednesday due to the ankle strain he suffered Sunday against the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones stepped into an early-down role against the Rams after Walker exited in the second quarter, posting 14 rushing yards on seven carries but gaining just two first downs along the way. The Notre Dame product also recorded two receptions for 18 yards, and head coach Pete Carroll noted that Jones looked "really good" in Wednesday's practice. Meanwhile, Walker is reportedly rehabbing the injury intensely, but his status for Sunday's contest remains firmly up in the air.
