Dawand Jones has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a season-ending leg injury during a loss to the New Orleans Saints. His disappointing season ends with a Pro Football Focus grade of 46.3, reflecting his struggles throughout the year. Despite the setbacks, there remains hope for his future contributions, especially with potential changes in the offensive line as Jedrick Wills heads to free agency and Jack Conklin may be traded. Jones was expected to play a significant role in the team's plans for 2025 after showing promise in nine relief starts last year.
