    Jones recorded six tackles, including five sacks, and two forced fumbles during Sunday's 38-13 victory at Tennessee. Jones' performance was a tour de force, with the pass rusher making life miserable for the Titans offensive line and Ryan Tannehill in particular. Among his feats Sunday, Jones became the first player since the sack become an official stat in 1982 to tally three sacks in the first quarter of the first day of the season -- per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site -- and tied the single-game franchise record for sacks. Plus, both of Jones' forced fumbles led directly to Arizona touchdowns. After recording just one sack in five games in an injury-shortened 2020, he looked like the player who notched double digit sacks in six of the previous seven campaigns.

  • Cardinals' Chandler Jones: Reports to camp

    Jones (biceps) reported to training camp Tuesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Jones is entering the final season of his five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Cardinals and didn't attend June minicamp while vying for an extension. The 31-year-old only appeared in five games in 2020 before suffering a season-ending biceps injury, but prior to that he had logged four straight 16-game campaigns in Arizona, with a total of 40 sacks over that span. Though Jones' future with the Cardinals is somewhat murky, he and new teammate J.J. Watt look positioned to form one of the most formidable pass-rushing duos in the league in 2021 if they can both stay healthy.

  • Cardinals' Chandler Jones: Looking for extension

    Jones' absence from June minicamp seemingly was related to his desire for a contract extension, Darren Urban of azcardinals.com reports. Jones is believed to have made a full recovery from the season-ending biceps tear he suffered Week 5 last year. Prior to that, he recorded 11 or more sacks in five straight seasons, averaging 14.5 per year from 2015 to 2019. Now entering the final season of a five-year, $82.5 million contract, Jones should have more pass-rushing help in Arizona after the team signed DE J.J. Watt at the beginning of the offseason. Assuming everything gets worked out with his contract, Jones is well-positioned to return to double-digit sack territory.

  • Cardinals' Chandler Jones: Recovering from biceps injury

Watt joining Jones now in Arizona, the pass-rushing duo will likely give the team a notable boost on the defensive line. The linebacker will aim to recover and return to his edge-rushing role with the team in 2021.

  • Cardinals' Chandler Jones: Sheds some weight

    Jones has lost 25 pounds, weighing in at 255 pounds at the outset of the Cardinals' offseason program, Mike Jurecki of the Cardinals' official sitereports. Jones bulked up in order to move from a 3-4 outside linebacker to a down lineman in Steve Wilks' 4-3 scheme last season. His stat line didn't suffer as a result -- 13 sacks, his fifth time in six campaigns in double digits -- but the defense overall fell out of the top 10 in yards allowed for the first time since 2014. With the move back to a 3-4 defense and working opposite veteran pass rusher Terrell Suggs, Jones will be seeking out yet another year with 10-plus sacks and multiple forced fumbles.
