Raiders' Benito Jones: Headed to Las Vegas
The Raiders signed Jones (back) on Wednesday.
Jones appeared in 14 games with Miami in 2025, but he was shut down ahead of Week 17 with a back injury. Now, he's evidently in good shape for football activities again and is getting a shot with a new team. Las Vegas recently lost defensive tackle Leki Fotu to the Giants in free agency, and it's reasonable to suspect Jones could fill a similar role to the one Fotu left behind with the Raiders.

Benito Jones: Visits with G-Men
The Giants hosted Jones (back) for a visit on Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones logged four regular-season appearances in 2025 before being placed on IR due to a back injury, tallying 15 total tackles and one pass defensed while handling 260 defensive snaps. The 28-year-old appears back to full health, and he could shore up New York's interior defensive line after the team traded Dexter Lawrence to Cincinnati.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Campaign over
Jones (back) was placed on the injured reserve list Saturday.
Jones had already been ruled out for the Dolphins' Week 17 matchup against the Buccaneers due to a back injury, but following his placement on IR, his 2025 season is over. The Ole Miss product appeared in 14 games this year, recording 15 total tackles and one pass defensed over 260 defensive snaps. Jones signed a one-year, $2 million deal with Miami in March, so he's set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Ruled out for Week 17
Jones (back) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he downgraded to being a non-participant Friday. With the starting defensive tackle sidelined versus Tampa Bay, rookies Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips will both stand to handle expanded workloads on defense alongside Zach Sieler.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Ready to rock
Jones (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Jones logged two full practice sessions this week, separated by a Thursday absence due to personal reasons. The defensive tackle has had a reduced snap share since temporarily leaving the Dolphins' Week 11 victory over the Commanders with his persistent ankle injury. If that trend continues, expect rookie defensive tackles Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips to continue seeing larger shares of snaps.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Absent for personal reasons
Jones (ankle/personal) did not practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones was a full participant in practice Wednesday while working through an ankle injury. Assuming that the personal reason for the defensive tackle's Thursday absence does not require his attention the remainder of the week, Jones should be set to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Jets. However, if Jones is ultimately sidelined, Kenneth Grant will likely see a larger share of defensive snaps.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Green light to play Week 13
Jones (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against New Orleans.
Jones picked up an ankle injury during the Dolphins' Week 11 win over the Commanders. He had additional time to recover courtesy of Miami's Week 12 bye, and after being limited in practice during Week 13 prep, the 28-year-old defensive lineman has progressed enough in his rehab to play Sunday. Jones has posted 12 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 10 regular-season games.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Could play Sunday
Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
The Ole Miss product practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week and played through his ankle injury in the Week 11 win over the Commanders, suggesting that he'll likely suit up Sunday. However, if Jones is unable to go for the Week 13 matchup, expect 2025 first-round pick Kenneth Grant to have an expanded role on Miami's defensive line.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Still dealing with ankle issue
Jones (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones suffered the injury during Miami's Week 11 win over the Commanders, though he was able to play through it. That he was able to practice in limited fashion coming out of the team's bye suggests he'll be available for a Week 13 matchup against New Orleans, though Jones' official status may remain unclear until Friday.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Returns to Sunday's contest
Jones (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Jones left in the first quarter of Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, but he was cleared by medical staff to return. His return will bolster the Dolphins' defensive front the rest of the way.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Exits Sunday's game
Jones (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Good to go Thursday
Jones (oblique) is active for Thursday night's game against the Bills.
The defensive tackle was listed as questionable Wednesday after being tagged as a limited participant on Miami's practice reports this week. Jones suffered the injury in Week 1 against the Colts and missed the Dolphins' Week 2 clash with the Patriots. In the opener, he played on 18 defensive snaps but did not record a stat.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Officially questionable for Week 3
Jones (oblique) is questionable for Thursday's road game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Jones has been officially limited on all three of Miami's practice reports leading up to Thursday's contest, though two of those were merely estimated sessions. After having missed Week 2 due to an oblique injury suffered during the Dolphins' regular-season opener, Jones appears to be a candidate to retake the field versus Buffalo. His status may not be made official until 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, however.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Logs limited practice Tuesday
Jones (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones missed Miami's Week 2 loss to New England due to an oblique injury that he suffered against Indianapolis in Week 1. He's opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, and depending on his practice participation Wednesday, he could be cleared to return Thursday against the Bills. Rookie first-rounder Kenneth Grant will continue to see additional snaps at defensive tackle for as long as Jones is sidelined.
