Jones (shoulder) is expected to play in Thursday's preseason finale, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Jones may not be necessarily 100 percent as he recovers from a sore shoulder, but the rookie will likely be under center in Thursday's final preseason affair. The team plans to start the third-stringer and monitor his health as the game progresses. Recently, the Bills parted ways with Austin Trainor which all but assures that Jones will serve as Buffalo's No. 3 quarterback heading into the regular season.
