Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones remains on the injury report as he has been out since Week 5 due to a knee injury.
After having already missed five games this season due to the same knee injury that occurred in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills, Jones might find himself as a prime candidate for the Injured Reserve list which would force him to sit for at least four games.
Will he play in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers? Let's take a look at Jones' injury status.

Zay Jones Injury Update for Fantasy Football
As per the latest update, the Jacksonville Jaguars still have Zay Jones on the injury report. He is unlikely to practice during the week and will be questionable to play in Week 10 against the 49ers.
According to ESPN reporter Michael DiRocco, Jones is still "a ways away" from returning. Doug Pederson said a stint on the Injured Reserve list is not out of the question for the 28-year-old pass-catcher. This would force Jones to sit out for at least four games until he would be healthy enough to return.
The Jaguars are 6-2 on the season and are sitting first in the division, two games ahead of the Texans and Colts. Jones has played in just three games this season, catching eight of his 18 targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns.
Zay Jones Fantasy Football Outlook
In the three games that he has played this season, Jones has recorded eight receptions for 78 yards and two touchdowns.
When Jones has been on the field for the Jaguars, he has been nothing but productive. If he were to practice this week and end up playing in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers, Jones would be viewed as a solid receiving option this week, especially as a bye-week fill-in player.
Zay Jones would have deep league value if he returns soon, but if he's placed on Injured Reserve, Jones would be forced to sit for at least four games. Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley should continue to operate firmly as the teams' top two wideouts if Jones is once again unable to suit up.
