Cowboys released RB Ronald Jones.
That’s one way to return from a two-game suspension. After sitting out the first two weeks for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances, Jones is eligible to return to an active roster but was let go by the Cowboys upon his return. The veteran running back is free to sign with any team and could catch on with another team at some point in the season. Jones rushed 17 times for 70 yards and one touchdown last season and hasn’t rushed for more than 500 yards since 2020.
Cowboys RB Ronald Jones has been suspended for two games for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Where do we start? Jones rushed 17 times for 70 yards and one touchdown last season with the Chiefs, with the majority of his work coming in a meaningless Week 18 game against the Raiders. Jones joined the Cowboys on a one-year, $1.23 million deal earlier this offseason and is competing for the right to play RB2 behind Tony Pollard. Jones is listed behind several players on the Cowboys’ unofficial depth chart and could face an uphill battle to make the roster with this suspension. RoJo truther and former Rotoworlder Pat Kerrane was unable to be reached for comment due to poor cell phone reception on his yacht.
Cowboys signed Ronald Jones, formerly of the Chiefs, to a one-year contract.
Jones played in just six games last season, finishing with a 17/70/1 rushing line that he achieved almost entirely in Week 18 against the Raiders. At this point it's hard to understand if he'd be behind Malik Davis in the pecking order, but he's a clear Tony Pollard backup either way and probably only carries fantasy value as injury insurance for Pollard. Unbelievably, Jones will not turn 26 until August.
Ronald Jones rushed 10 times for 45 yards and one touchdown in the Chiefs' Week 18 win over the Raiders.
It was a big win for team dailyrojo as Jones found his way into the end zone on the first play of the second quarter, pushing the team's lead to 11. The Chiefs would extend their lead to 24-3 by half and would coast to an easy victory in the second half. Jones remains an iffy bet for playoff contest formats, likely needing an injury to Clyde Edwards-Helaire to return value.
