Dolphins' Benito Jones: Absent for personal reasons
Jones (ankle/personal) did not practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones was a full participant in practice Wednesday, working through an ankle injury. Assuming that the personal reason for the defensive tackle's Thursday absence does not require his attention the remainder of the week, Jones should be set to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Jets. If the 28-year-old cannot suit up for any reason, Kenneth Grant will likely see a larger share of defensive snaps for the week.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Green light to play Week 13
Jones (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against New Orleans.
Jones picked up an ankle injury during the Dolphins' Week 11 win over the Commanders. He had additional time to recover courtesy of Miami's Week 12 bye, and after being limited in practice during Week 13 prep, the 28-year-old defensive lineman has progressed enough in his rehab to play Sunday. Jones has posted 12 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 10 regular-season games.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Could play Sunday
Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
The Ole Miss product practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week and played through his ankle injury in the Week 11 win over the Commanders, suggesting that he'll likely suit up Sunday. However, if Jones is unable to go for the Week 13 matchup, expect 2025 first-round pick Kenneth Grant to have an expanded role on Miami's defensive line.

Jones (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones suffered the injury during Miami's Week 11 win over the Commanders, though he was able to play through it. That he was able to practice in limited fashion coming out of the team's bye suggests he'll be available for a Week 13 matchup against New Orleans, though Jones' official status may remain unclear until Friday.

Jones (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Good to go Thursday
Jones (oblique) is active for Thursday night's game against the Bills.
The defensive tackle was listed as questionable Wednesday after being tagged as a limited participant on Miami's practice reports this week. Jones suffered the injury in Week 1 against the Colts and missed the Dolphins' Week 2 clash with the Patriots. In the opener, he played on 18 defensive snaps but did not record a stat.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Officially questionable for Week 3
Jones (oblique) is questionable for Thursday's road game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Jones has been officially limited on all three of Miami's practice reports leading up to Thursday's contest, though two of those were merely estimated sessions. After having missed Week 2 due to an oblique injury suffered during the Dolphins' regular-season opener, Jones appears to be a candidate to retake the field versus Buffalo. His status may not be made official until 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, however.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Logs limited practice Tuesday
Jones (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones missed Miami's Week 2 loss to New England due to an oblique injury that he suffered against Indianapolis in Week 1. He's opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, and depending on his practice participation Wednesday, he could be cleared to return Thursday against the Bills. Rookie first-rounder Kenneth Grant will continue to see additional snaps at defensive tackle for as long as Jones is sidelined.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Ruled out for Week 2
Jones (oblique) won't play Sunday against the Patriots, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Friday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Jones was deemed week-to-week after getting hurt in this past Sunday's loss to the Colts, so it's no surprise that he'll miss at least one game due to his oblique injury. His next chance to play will come Thursday in a Week 3 trip to Buffalo. Rookie draft picks Kenneth Grant (first round) and Zeek Biggers (seventh round) could see more playing time at defensive tackle in Jones' absence.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Considered week-to-week
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Jones is considered week-to-week with an oblique injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
The Ole Miss product exited Sunday's loss to the Colts after sustaining an oblique injury, limiting him to just 23 total snaps (18 defensive and five on special teams). Jones was relatively unimpactful while on the field in Week 1, failing to record a stat prior to his exit. He likely needs to log at least one limited practice session throughout the week to have a chance of playing in Miami's Week 2 matchup against the Patriots.
