Through two games this season, Jones has 15 catches for 233 yards. He has yet to score a touchdown.
Running back Devonta Freeman (sore right knee), who missed last week's win over Carolina , and defensive ends Takk McKinley and Derrick Shelby, who have groin injuries, also did not practice Wednesday.
Coach Dan Quinn said the three are day-to-day and have not been ruled out for Sunday's game.
Quinn did not mention Jones' injury when he spoke before practice. Jones was seen walking around the locker room during the period open to reporters.
