2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones signed a two-year deal worth up to $20 million with the Panthers in March after posting a career year with the Vikings in 2024. The 26-year-old set new personal bests in total tackles (39), sacks (7.0) and forced fumbles (one), despite starting just one time over 15 appearances. In Carolina, Jones likely will serve as the team's top rotational edge rusher, providing much-needed depth to a Panthers defense that ranked 30th in sacks last season. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year contract with the Panthers in March of 2025.
Past ankle issue
Jones (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
The first-year Panther opened the team's week of practice with consecutive limited sessions due to an ankle injury. However, he upgraded to full participation Friday, suggesting he's moved past the issue. Jones played 60 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps in Week 1, recording just one total tackle. He's expected to continue starting as one of Carolina's top edge rushers as the season progresses.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Tabbed to replace Clowney
The Panthers released Jadeveon Clowney with the intention of Jones replacing him, David Newton of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Panthers signed Jones to a two-year deal worth up to $20 million this offseason despite him never having played a full-time defensive role in four years with the Vikings. Carolina also invested a second-round pick in Nick Scourton and a third-round selection in Princely Umanmielen in the 2025 NFL Draft, however, and all three edge rushers will complete for snaps opposite D.J. Wonnum, who is dealing with a back issue in OTAs.
