Cardinals Place Justin Jones on Injured Reserve

Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Justin Jones has been placed on injured reserve due to a torn triceps, effectively ending his 2024 season. The injury occurred during the team's Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions, and he had recorded four tackles and a fumble recovery in the season prior to the injury. Jones, who signed a three-year, $30.1 million deal with Arizona this offseason, was a key player in their defensive lineup and faced frequent double-teaming on pass rushes. In response to his absence, the Cardinals have signed defensive lineman Naquan Jones from the Miami Dolphins' practice squad. Head coach Jonathan Gannon expressed confidence in the team's ability to adapt, while also addressing other injury concerns within the roster. Justin Jones' injury is considered a significant setback for Arizona's defensive front.
