Byron Jones News
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.
Miami Dolphins defensive back Byron Jones has restructured his contract for the 2022 season. The former Pro Bowl corner had ankle surgery earlier in the month. Jones has injury protection that makes his deal fully guaranteed for next season. The restructure converts $13.25 million of his base salary into a signing bonus. Jones now carries a $1.12 million salary for 2022 campaign. This move frees up $10.6 million in cap space for the Dolphins. Jones is coming off a solid season in 2021 where he recorded 58 tackles and 10 pass defended in 16 games. He should continue to be an important part of the Dolphins defense.
