Jones (hip) was held out of practice Thursday, Brian McNally of 106.7 The Fan Washington DC reports.
In a post-practice media session, head coach Jay Gruden told John Keim of ESPN.com that Jones' hip didn't "feel right" after taking part in individual drills Wednesday, which spurred the decision to hold out the running back Thursday. With a playoff berth in hand, Gruden appears set to exercise caution with players that are less than 100 percent, and Jones certainly falls in that category. Fellow backs Pierre Thomas (knee, limited Wednesday) and Chris Thompson (shoulder, full Wednesday) are also dealing with injuries of varying severity, while starter Alfred Morris is a candidate to take a seat, so it remains to be seen who will head Washington's backfield Sunday in Dallas.
