Bills' DaQuan Jones: Inactive for divisional round
Rotowire
Jones (calf) is inactive for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Bengals, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Jones was limited at practice Wednesday through Friday due a calf injury and drew a questionable designation for Sunday. The veteran defensive tackle will ultimately be sidelined for the playoff matchup, and his absence could be a significant blow to Buffalo's defense, as Jones played over 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps in all but one of his 16 regular-season appearances. In Jones' stead, Tim Settle and Jordan Phillips are candidates for increased snaps along the Bills' defensive line.

Titans DT DaQuan Jones 'happy' to be named starter
Rotowire
Titans defensive tackle DaQuan Jones just got a promotion, and like anyone would be, he's happy about it, The Tennessean reports.
Jones is eager to showcase why he deserves his starting role, but he's also very aware that the season is a long ways ahead and anything can happen between now and then.
"I'm happy to go into the (OTAs) as a starter, but I know that nothing is set in stone and I know there's plenty of competition for that job," said Jones. "So now I'm just trying to make the most of my opportunity."
Jones, a fourth-round pick last season, played sparingly in the beginning of his rookie year -- appearing in just four of the team's first 13 games. He improved toward the end of the season and got his first start during the last game of the year against the Colts. Jones said he wants to continue to improve and show he can be a force on the defensive line.
"Right now I'm trying to work a lot on my base technique, trying to shed blocks faster and make plays," Jones said. "I'm trying to go into the season and be a playmaker."
