  • Rams' Ernest Jones: Not playing Week 18

    Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Jones was among seven key contributors that the Rams listed as doubtful -- and one of five for noninjury reasons -- ahead of the regular-season finale. The Rams will be the NFC's No. 6 or 7 seed regardless of the outcome of Week 18 games, so Jones and some of the team's other stars will get a respite Sunday to avoid sustaining potential injuries in advance of the postseason. The linebacker finishes the regular season with 145 tackles, 4.5 sacks and six pass breakups over 15 appearances.

  • Rams' Ernest Jones: Will rest in Week 18

    Rams head coach Sean McVay said Jones won't play Sunday in San Francisco, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports. With Los Angeles having locked up playoff spot, the team is electing to rest several of its starters on both sides of the ball in the regular-season finale. Jones thus will finish his third NFL season with a career-high 145 tackles (74 solo) to go with 4.5 sacks over 15 contests.

  • Rams' Ernest Jones: Rams' leading tackler at Arizona

    Jones recorded six tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 37-14 win at the Cardinals. Although it was Jones' second lowest tackle total so far this season, it was good enough for a team best in Week 12. He's in the midst of a career year, and he projects as a great IDP option come Week 13 versus the Browns.

    Jones (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Jones was able to record eight tackles in Week 8 against the Cowboys, but he popped up on the Rams' injury report Wednesday after not participating in practice.

Jones was once again limited this week at practice as he continues to nurse a knee injury, but he will play through the injury in Week 8. The linebacker is coming off of a season-low four tackles in the team's Week 7 loss to the Steelers and he'll look to finish closer to the 10.5 tackles per game he had produced in the six games prior.

  • Rams' Ernest Jones: Deemed questionable for Week 8

    Jones (knee) is questionable to face Dallas on Sunday in Week 8, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. Jones was limited during all three practice sessions this week as he continues to deal with a knee injury. However, Rams head coach Sean McVay indicated Wednesday that he doesn't expect Jones' game status to be affected by the issue this week. Jones has seen slightly smaller snap counts since suffering the injury prior to Week 6, but he's still played over 75 percent of Los Angeles' defensive snaps over the past two weeks and has totaled 14 tackles (eight solo) over that span.

  • Rams' Ernest Jones: Still limited by knee injury

    Jones (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Jones was able to play through his knee injury in Week 7, so any limitations at this point are likely just maintenance related. Even still, if he can't practice in full Thursday or Friday, he would figure to carry an injury designation into the weekend.

    Jones recorded 10 tackles (four solo) including a sack in Sunday's 29-23 win at Indianapolis. Jones continued his melting-hot start to the 2023 season in Week 4, tallying nine-plus tackles for the fourth consecutive game.

  • Rams' Ernest Jones: Leads team in tackles

    Jones recorded nine tackles (four solo), including three tackles for loss, during Sunday's 30-13 victory over the Seahawks. While former teammate Bobby Wagner put up a stunning 19-tackle (nine solo) day for Seattle, Jones saw five of his nine stops go for no gain or a loss, which leads the NFL through Week 1. The Seahawks were held to just 197 yards of total offense thanks in large part to Jones's quintet of big stops, and the Rams will need his big-play ability to contend against the high-octane 49ers offense in Week 2.

  • Rams' Ernest Jones: Shows improvement in second season

    Jones recorded 114 tackles (66 solo), two pass defenses, an interception and a forced fumble over 17 games in 2022. Jones saw his snap count rise from 418 in 2021, his rookie season, to 693 this season, and paired up with star linebacker Bobby Wagner, the sophomore nearly doubled his tackle total in the process. Jones will enter the third year of his rookie deal and should continue to get additional playing time, especially considering the Rams may look to protect their stars a little more after a season in which the team was absolutely decimated by injury.

  • Rams' Ernest Jones: Returns to form after slump

    Jones recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Chargers.

  • Rams' Ernest Jones: Sidelined Wednesday

    Jones did not participate in the Rams' practice Wednesday due to a back injury, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports. Jones logged 11 tackles while playing slightly below his usual share of the Rams' defensive snaps (63) Week 12, though it's unclear when this issue first arose. The second-year linebacker will now likely need to improve his practice activity Thursday and/or Friday, or else he could be in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season Sunday against Seattle. Jones has recorded 81 tackles, one pass defended and one forced fumble while playing alongside star inside linebacker Bobby Wagner this season.

  • Rams' Ernest Jones: Logs DNP Thursday with illness

    Jones (illness) didn't practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Jones popped up on the Rams' injury report as a non-participant in practice Thursday due to an illness, so his activity levels during Friday's session should be something worth monitoring. If the 22-year-old is unable to give it a go Sunday in Tampa Bay, then Jake Hummel (hip) and Christian Rozeboom are candidates for added linebacker reps in Week 9 behind starter Bobby Wagner.
