More from Behind the Steel Curtain: Jones should be ready for season opener
Jones was diagnosed with a bruised chest after tests for a more serious injury came back negative. Jones exited Saturday night's 26-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs after falling on the ball in the fourth quarter. He got snaps with the starters but was still in the game late.
It's unclear whether or not Jones will play in Pittsburgh's fourth and final preseason game on Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers.
Jones has forced two turnovers so far this preseason in the three games he’s played. The Steelers may be cautious with his injury given the early impact he has made.
