Jones (foot) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Jones apparently suffered an injury to his foot during Denver's loss versus the Steelers in Week 2, but the issue won't force him to miss any playing time. He should start at safety next to P.J. Locke in Week 3.

Rotowire
Jones (foot) missed Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Jones appears to have sustained a foot injury during the Broncos' Week 2 loss, as the 26-year-old was held out of Wednesday's practice. The Texas product's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide a better indication of his availability for Week 3.

Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) was not listed on the Broncos' injury report Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.

Rotowire
Jones (concussion) did not travel with the team to Germany on Wednesday and will not play in Week 9 against the Chiefs, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Dolphins' Brandon Jones: Off COVID list, still questionable
Rotowire
Jones was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday. He's still listed as questionable on the injury report with an illness and will take a separate flight to Tennessee ahead of Sunday's game, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
The depth safety has quietly been an integral pass rusher for the Dolphins, accumulating five sacks despite playing just 532 defensive snaps. Expect Jones to reprise a similar role provided he's able to shake off the non COVID-19 related illness that has him currently listed as questionable entering Sunday's game.

Rotowire

Dolphins' Brandon Jones: Double-digit tackles in debut
Rotowire
Jones had 10 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 21-11 loss to the Patriots.
Jones finished second on the team in terms of tackles, behind only Jerome Baker (16). The rookie third-round pick put forth a strong showing in his NFL debut, but fantasy managers will likely need to see more evidence before trusting him as a consistent option in IDP formats. Jones will look to keep up his momentum Week 2 against Buffalo.
