Jones had two carries for one yards in Thursday's preseason opener against the Falcons.
The Washington starters only played one drive, leaving Jones with little chance to make an impression. In any case, he seemingly has a clear path to the lead-back role, though Chris Thompson could take over on passing downs, and rookie seventh-rounder Keith Marshall may have a shot to push for a chance-of-pace role. Jones figures to get much more work in the second and third preseason games.
