Seth Jones (shoulder) was a full participant in practice and looks like he could return Saturday vs. Dallas.

Jones has not played since December 10th due to a shoulder injury but looks like he could return Saturday vs. Dallas after participating in full Friday at practice. The 29-year-old has struggled offensively this season with little help around him in Chicago, as he is yet to score a goal but has 11 assists, 60 SOG, 14 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through 27 games prior to the injury. He'll lineup up on first power play and the Blackhawks' top defensive pairing when he does return.

Jones (illness) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

Jones has 10 goals, 22 assists, 158 SOG, 28 PIMs and a -32 plus/minus through 64 games this season but will be a game-time decision Thursday as he deals with an illness. The 28-year-old should know his status at warmups, prior to the game.

Seth Jones is planning on returning to the Blackhawks' lineup Wednesday (thumb injury).

Jones has missed the last 10 games due to a thumb injury but will return to the Blackhawks' lineup Wednesday. Prior to the injury, the 26-year-old star defenseman had four assists and 22 SOG through eight games played while posting a -5 plus/minus rating.

The Blackhawks have acquired Seth Jones, the No.32 overall pick and a 2022 sixth-round pick from the Blue Jackets for Adam Boqvist, the No.12 overall pick, a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 first-round pick.

Jones has one year left on his deal that carries a $5.4M cap-hit but was due for a raise and made it clear he wasn't interested in returning to Columbus. Jones had a modified no-trade clause so he was interested in joining the Blackhawks and received a massive eight-year extension immediately following the trade. Jones' offensive numbers have been trending towards in the last two seasons and he has many detractors, especially in the analytics community, so this will definitely be a deal worth monitoring for the future.

Jones (ankle) underwent successful surgery and is expected to miss 8-to-10 weeks.

Jones suffered a sprain and hairline fracture of his ankle on Saturday and underwent surgery on Tuesday. Jones will miss a minimum of two months, which will sideline him for the rest of the regular season but could allow him to be ready for the start of the playoffs should the Blue Jackets qualify.

Jones is out indefinitely with an ankle injury; has been placed on IR.

Jones went crashing hard into the Avalanche net in Saturday's home loss but finished the game, playing 23:25 TOI. However, ahead of their game with the Lightning on Monday, the Blue Jackets announced they'll be without Jones indefinitely. This is obviously a serious blow for Columbus and could change their plans heading into the trade deadline. David Savard seems like a prime candidate to move up to the top pair with Zach Werenski.

Jones (undisclosed) will play on Tuesday.

Jones was originally questionable after suffering a minor injury during the All-Star game. However, Jones is on the ice for warmups and will play against the Sabres. Jones has seven goals and 22 assists (29 points) in 41 games this season.

Jones (undisclosed) is expected to play Tuesday.

Jones was banged up in the All-Star game and was not on the ice for Monday’s practice, but is expected to play Tuesday vs. Buffalo. Jones enjoyed a successful All-Star weekend and returned to his team with seven goals and 22 assists (29 points) in 41 games this season.

Jones (knee) will make his season debut on Tuesday.

Jones has missed the first seven games of the season with a sprained MCL that he suffered on September 25th. Jones was expected to miss 4-6 weeks, so he's returning a couple days earlier than originally expected. Jones will be reunited on the top pair with Zach Werenski, forming one of the best defensive pairings in the league. He will also play on the second power-play unit and should be a double-digit goal-scorer with 50-point upside.

The Blue Jackets have placed Seth Jones (knee) on IR.

Jones has been moved to IR retroactive to September 25th and is expected to be out until at least late-October. Jones has been given a 4-6 week timetable and should become a sleeper as he drops down fantasy boards this week. The 23-year-old will look to build off of a career-best 57 points (16G / 41A) in 78 games. Zach Werenski will eat up massive minutes at even-strength and the top power-play while Jones is out.

Jones will miss 4-6 weeks with a 2nd degree MCL sprain.

Jones suffered an MCL sprain during Tuesday’s preseason game vs. the Sabres and will miss at least one month. This is another blow to Columbus’ blueline, who will also be without Ryan Murray (groin) to start the season and Zach Werenski is coming off of major off-season shoulder surgery. Werenski should be ready for the start of the year and anchor the top power-play unit with Jones out.
