Byron Jones Fantasy

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.

Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones (ankle) has undergone surgery on his ankle. He's expected to have a recovery period of about two months, meaning he'll be ready for action well ahead of training camp this year. The veteran was a key component of what was at times a dominant Miami defense last year. He was a regular starter opposite Pro Bowler Xavien Howard, playing in 16 games and recording 59 tackles.

Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones (groin) is expected to play in Week 5 against the 49ers after missing the last two games with a groin injury. Jones practiced in full on Thursday and Friday. It will be a boost for the team's man-to-man-heavy defense that will be taking on a Niners unit that is at full strength with the returns of wide receiver Deebo Samuel and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Miami's secondary has allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game (301.3) through four weeks this season, so San Francisco's passing game could thrive on Sunday, even with the return of Jones. You'd be smart to avoid the Dolphins Defense altogether this week and moving forward.
