Arizona Cardinals outside linebacker Chandler Jones is back with the team after missing last week’s game against the Cleveland Browns. He tested positive for COVID-19 and was not back with the team until Thursday of this week. However, he has not been activated from the COVID list yet, as the team wanted to make sure his conditioning was where it needed to be in order to play. He will miss the Week 7 contest against the Houston Texans.
According to FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer, the team is eyeing a return for Jones in Week 8, when they face the Green Bay Packers Thursday night. Glazer reported that Jones lost about 15 pounds and needs to get his strength back.
Jones himself refuted the report.
False report. https://t.co/X2j9trSmY1

The only part of the report he could report is the weight loss. He will not play against the Texans and should be ready to go on Thursday for the Packers, so his supposed weight loss and loss of strength are what he says is not true.
