Broncos' D.J. Jones: Back at practice
Jones (knee) was able to participate at the Broncos' practice Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Jones has been dealing with a knee injury as the Broncos have been ramping up their offseason program in recent weeks, but it appears the nose tackle is good to go moving forward. Jones is expected to be a staple on Denver's interior defensive line in his second year with the franchise. He recorded 34 tackles, including two sacks, while deflecting a career-high six passes over 15 games last season.

Jones will now miss his first matchup of the 2022-23 campaign as a result of the knee injury. In his absence, Mike Purcell should handle a larger role at nose tackle this weekend, while Eyioma Uwazurike is slated to receive more rotational snaps on Denver's defensive line.

Broncos' D.J. Jones: Questionable to play versus KC
Jones (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Jones was sidelined for first the two practices of Week 17 with a knee injury, though it's unclear when or how this issue first arose. The 27-year-old nose tackle was able to increase his participation with a limited session Friday, so he'll still have a chance to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup. Jones has recorded 34 tackles, two sacks and a career-high six passes defended over 15 games this season, and his potential absence would leave Eyioma Uwazurike to assume a bigger role behind presumptive starting nose tackle Mike Purcell.

Broncos' D.J. Jones: Available Sunday
Jones (shoulder/illness) has been deemed active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Jones has recently dealt with shoulder discomfort that limited him to a season-low 16 defensive snaps last week against Kansas City. He also sat out practice Friday with an illness, but the nose tackle is nonetheless set to make his 14th appearance of the season. However, Jones will likely slot in behind Mike Purcell and DeShawn Williams during Week 15.
