Jones popped up on the injury report Friday with neck stiffness, ultimately missing practice as a result.

Titans' Ernest Jones: Plays every snap versus Jets
Rotowire
Jones recorded nine tackles (six solo), including two tackles for loss, in the Titans' loss to the Jets on Sunday.
More notably, Jones played 100 percent of the defensive snaps after playing just 46 percent of the downs in his Week 1 debut with the team following Jones' acquisition from the Rams just ahead of the season. Jones should easily accrue 100-plus tackles once again in 2024 after picking up 145 last year with Los Angeles.

Rams' Ernest Jones: Allowed to seek trade
Rotowire
The Rams granted Jones and his agents permission to seek a trade Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Heading into the final season of his rookie deal, Jones was hoping to land an extension with the Rams after registering career highs in both tackles (145) and sacks (4.5) in 2023. However, the two sides were unable to come to an agreement in the offseason and training camp, prompting the Rams to grant the 2021 third-round pick permission to engage with other teams on a trade. The Rams will presumably hope to have a trade in place before they have to trim their roster to 53 players Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.

Rams' Ernest Jones: Not playing Week 18
Rotowire
Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Jones was among seven key contributors that the Rams listed as doubtful -- and one of five for noninjury reasons -- ahead of the regular-season finale. The Rams will be the NFC's No. 6 or 7 seed regardless of the outcome of Week 18 games, so Jones and some of the team's other stars will get a respite Sunday to avoid sustaining potential injuries in advance of the postseason. The linebacker finishes the regular season with 145 tackles, 4.5 sacks and six pass breakups over 15 appearances.
