Jones suffered a concussion in Denver's first preseason contest against Arizona, but the veteran was able to clear protocol in time to garner active status for Saturday's tilt in San Francisco. The 28-year-old nose tackle should continue to play a significant role on the Broncos' interior defensive line in 2023.

Broncos' D.J. Jones: Questionable to play versus KC
Jones (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Jones was sidelined for first the two practices of Week 17 with a knee injury, though it's unclear when or how this issue first arose. The 27-year-old nose tackle was able to increase his participation with a limited session Friday, so he'll still have a chance to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup. Jones has recorded 34 tackles, two sacks and a career-high six passes defended over 15 games this season, and his potential absence would leave Eyioma Uwazurike to assume a bigger role behind presumptive starting nose tackle Mike Purcell.

Broncos' D.J. Jones: Available Sunday
Jones (shoulder/illness) has been deemed active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Jones has recently dealt with shoulder discomfort that limited him to a season-low 16 defensive snaps last week against Kansas City. He also sat out practice Friday with an illness, but the nose tackle is nonetheless set to make his 14th appearance of the season. However, Jones will likely slot in behind Mike Purcell and DeShawn Williams during Week 15.
