Bengals activate CB Adam Jones from suspension

Paul Dehner Jr of the Cincinnati Enquirer has reported that the Cincinnati Bengals have activated veteran cornerback Adam Jones from the reserve/suspended list. Jones missed Week 1 due to a one-game suspension, but will likely start in his team’s second game against the Houston Texans.
In Jones’ absence, the Bengals turned to fourth-year cornerback Darqueze Dennard in their opening game against the Baltimore Ravens, and he struggled in coverage, allowing a passer rating of 121.5 on throws into his primary coverage.
Jones played 97.2 percent of his team’s defensive in 2016, and ended the campaign ranked 34th of 109 qualifying cornerbacks with a PFF overall grade of 76.7. He was the Bengals best performer in coverage, and allowed an average of just 0.79 yards per cover snap, the league’s seventh-best mark.
His performance in coverage was by no means a surprise, as Jones has been one of the most productive cornerbacks in the NFL over recent years. From 2011-2016, Jones has allowed an average of 0.94 yards per cover snap, the third-best mark among cornerbacks who have played at least 1000 coverage snaps over that time.
