Hard Work Pays Off: Sidney Jones Is Active

The wait is over for Eagles cornerback Sidney Jones IV, who on Saturday was taken off the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list and added to the team’s 53-man active roster. Jones is eligible to play, and is expected to play, Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys in the regular-season finale for the Eagles.

Jones filled the roster spot created when the Eagles placed linebacker Joe Walker on Injured Reserve on Friday.

Jones, expected to be a top 10-15 draft pick in the first round of April’s draft, tore his Achilles tendon in a March 10 Pro Day workout at the University of Washington.
