Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Upgrades to full practice Thursday
Jones (neck) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Jones opened the week as a limited practice participant due to a neck issue. That limited practice was a precautionary measure given his full participation in Thursday's session, and the 2021 third-rounder is well on track to play in Sunday's road game against the Commanders. Jones has 21 tackles (12 solo) through the first two games of the regular season.

Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Limited to open week
Jones (neck) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Jones secured eight total tackles (four solo) during the team's 31-7 win over Arizona in Week 2, and he appears to have suffered a neck injury during the contest. The linebacker's ability to practice in any capacity to open the week is a positive sign, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Commanders.

Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Tallies eight tackles in win
Jones recorded eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-7 win at Arizona.
One thing limiting Jones' production in Week 2 was the fact that the Cardinals' offense simply couldn't stay on the field - he played 48 defensive snaps Sunday after playing 71 defensive snaps in Week 1. He's still firmly on the IDP radar going into a Week 3 tilt against the Commanders.

Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Piles up 11 stops
Jones made 11 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks shut down the Patriots' running backs to the tune of just 42 yards on 13 carries (3.1 YPC). Jones was instrumental in that effort, as he was all season. The 2021 third-round pick rung up 151 tackles (80 solo), 0.5 sacks, eight pass breakups and six interceptions through 18 games, including the postseason. Jones has two years left on his contract and will carry a team-friendly $11.0 million cap hit in 2026 as the Seahawks look to defend their title.
