  • Broncos' D.J. Jones: Concludes second season in Denver

    Jones recorded 46 tackles (30 solo), including two sacks, with three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries while playing 16 games during the 2023 season. Jones showed improvement in his second campaign with the Broncos, recording 12 more tackles than he did in 2022 while making more game-changing plays. The veteran nose tackle's three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries were both career highs. Jones is heading into the final season of his three-year deal with Denver, so the 29-year-old will look to build off his solid performance this season heading into a contract year.

Jones has recorded 34 tackles, two sacks and a career-high six passes defended over 15 games this season, and his potential absence would leave Eyioma Uwazurike to assume a bigger role behind presumptive starting nose tackle Mike Purcell.
