Jones, 28, played at Michigan State from 2016-20, before going undrafted in 2021. He's bounced around the league quite a bit, with stints with the Tennessee Titans , Arizona Cardinals , Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans before joining the 49ers back in September.
In three games for San Francisco this season, Jones has recorded two tackles while playing 21% of their defensive snaps. Now, without him and Givens, the 49ers are left with Osa Odighizuwa, DeForest Buckner, Gracen Halton, Sebastian Valdez and James Thompson Jr. at the position on the 53-man roster. Their lone practice squad defensive lineman is McKinnley Jackson.
