Jones (shoulder) practiced in pads Wednesday, Mike Jones of the Washington Post reports.
As a Monday night participant in Week 1, the Redskins won't be revealing Jones' activity level until Thursday, but ditching his no-contact jersey from Monday's session is certainly a step in the right direction. Even so, Chris Thompson (shoulder) is expected to snipe passing-down reps from Jones this season, and undrafted rookie Rob Kelley could be in the mix as well after an impressive preseason.
