26 Taiwan Jones RB

The Bills moved Jones (neck) to injured reserve Wednesday, Chris Brown of the team's official site reports.

Jones hadn't played since Oct. 14 due to the neck injury and didn't seem to be making much progress in his recovery, as he failed to practice in any capacity prior to the Bills' Week 8 loss to the Patriots. The transaction opens up a roster spot for quarterback Matt Barkley, who was signed to a one-year deal to provide added insurance behind Nathan Peterman while Josh Allen (shoulder) and Derek Anderson (concussion) tend to injuries.

Jones (neck) will not play in Monday's matchup with the Patriots, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.

Jones will miss his second straight game due to a neck injury he suffered in Week 6 against the Texans. His absence at practice throughout the week makes this news relatively unsurprising. LeSean McCoy (concussion) is still in the league's protocol, which leaves Chris Ivory and Marcus Murphy as the team's only healthy backs.

Jones (neck) didn't practice Thursday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Jones originally suffered a neck injury in Week 6 against the Texans, and was unable to suit up in Week 7. His status for Week 8 is still up in the air, but this news certainly doesn't bode well for his return to the field. If Jones is unable to suit up in Week 8, Marcus Murphy could assume his role on special teams and provide depth at running back.

Jones (undisclosed) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Jones is considered week-to-week after suffering the unspecified injury during Sunday's loss to the Texans. It remains to be seen whether Jones will suit up against the Colts in Week 7, but if Buffalo's special teams captain remains sidelined for any amount of time, it's possible that fellow depth back Marcus Murphy could serve as the team's primary kickoff and punt returner.

Jones is week-to-week with an undisclosed injury suffered during Sunday's loss to the Texans, Chris Brown of the Bills' official sitereports.

Jones is a strong special teams player, but as a depth player and with the Bills having other options in the return game, his loss wouldn't be that big of a hit to a team that has much bigger problems trying to figure out the current mess of a quarterback situation.
