Zay Jones Injury Update: Is Zay Jones Playing Today?
Zay Jones is active and playing tonight for the Arizona Cardinals in their Monday Night Football matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, kicking off at 8:15 p.m. ET. He's been dealing with a nagging knee injury since early October, which limited his practice reps earlier this week following the team's Week 8 bye. However, after ramping up to full participation by Saturday, he enters the game with no official injury designation a big win for fantasy managers and Cardinals fans alike.
One of the fan Drea, posting on X via @Justlove_drea, expressed frustration, saying, "Every game Zay Jones got 2 receptions, today nothing."
This marks a return to form after a tough stretch where the knee issue sidelined him from full practices in Weeks 6 and 7. Before the bye, Jones flashed his potential, hauling in seven catches for 146 yards across two games, including a solid 5-for-79 outing against the Colts when Marvin Harrison Jr. exited early due to concussion protocol. As the Cardinals' No. 3 wideout behind Harrison and Michael Wilson (who's back from his own concussion woes), expect Jones to mix in on the outside, targeting around 6-8 passes in Kyler Murray's spread-it-around attack.
If you're streaming him in fantasy, he's a sneaky WR4/5 option against Dallas's middling secondary aim for 50-70 yards if he sees his usual 20-25 snaps. Monitor inactives pre-game, but all signs point to a go. Rooting for a bounce-back night to build momentum heading into November.
