Jones recorded six tackles (five solo) and a sack across 59 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.
After being limited to only 27 defensive snaps in the season-opener, Jones saw a major uptick in action Sunday. The linebacker played 92 percent of the Lions' defensive snaps as a starter and tied Jarrad Davis for the lead in tackles. After a strong outing on an otherwise disappointing day, Jones has a good chance of seeing a similar workload Sunday night against the Patriots.
Jones will sign a two-year, $7.75 contract with the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jones was moved into a starting role for the Bears last season due to linebacker injuries and he managed to record 90 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in 16 games. He should compete for a starting role in Detroit, a team that struggled at the linebacking position last season.
