Byron Jones News
The Miami Dolphins have informed cornerback Byron Jones that he will be released when the new league year begins on March 15, according to sources. The Dolphins will designate him a post-June 1 cut, which will save them $13.6 million against the 2023 salary cap. It comes after Jones missed all of last year due to surgery on his left Achilles. The 30-year-old will need to prove to interested teams in free agency that he's healthy, and as of last month he was still unable to run or jump. In his two years with Miami, Jones had 75 solo tackles, two interceptions, 14 passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 30 starts. He was a first-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2015 and played his first five seasons with the team, making his lone Pro Bowl in 2018.
The Miami Dolphins placed starting cornerback Byron Jones (ankle) on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, so he will miss at least the first four games of the season. Jones had surgery on his ankle in March and was hoping to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but that won't happen. The 29-year-old will immediately return to a starting role in Miami's secondary when he's cleared to return, but the secondary will be a bit more vulnerable until then. Jones made the Pro Bowl in 2018 with the Dallas Cowboys, and he recorded 58 tackles (47 solo), 10 passes defensed and a forced fumble in 16 starts for Miami in 2021.
The Miami Dolphins placed cornerback Byron Jones (Achilles) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Friday ahead of training camp after the 29-year-old missed organized team activities this spring after undergoing offseason surgery on his Achilles. Jones can come off the PUP list at any time, but he can't practice with the team until that happens. When healthy, he's expected to return to a starting role opposite Xavien Howard. In 16 games last season, Jones had 58 tackles and 10 pass deflections for Miami. The Dolphins also placed defensive back Elijah Campbell on the Non-Football Injury list on Friday. Jones, a former first-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys back in 2015, has been named to one Pro Bowl while with the Cowboys in 2018.
