Jones (ankle) is practicing at the Cardinals' camp this week, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Jones was selected in the third round of the 2024 Draft by Arizona but missed his entire rookie season due to an ankle injury he suffered in the preseason last summer. Getting Jones back healthy is a big boost to a secondary that lost Sean Murphy-Bunting to a season-ending knee injury earlier in the offseason.

Cardinals' Elijah Jones: Won't see action in rookie season
Rotowire
Jones (ankle) had his 21-day practice window expire Thursday without being activated off IR, marking an end to his rookie campaign, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Jones was selected by the Cardinals in the third round of April's NFL Draft. He hurt his foot during the preseason and began the campaign on IR. Jones wasn't designated to return until Dec. 5, and he wasn't able to ramp up enough during practice to be activated before his practice window expired. Jones will thus have to wait until the 2025 campaign to make his NFL debut.
