TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Justin Jones will miss the rest of the season with a triceps injury, coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday.
The Cardinals have placed Jones on injured reserve and signed defensive lineman Naquan Jones, who was with Arizona in training camp, off the Miami Dolphins' practice squad in the corresponding roster move.
"He'll come back better than ever," Gannon said of Justin Jones, adding that the team will "figure it out" on playing without him.
Jones suffered the injury late in the second quarter Sunday against the Detroit Lions and was ruled out early in the third quarter.
In almost three full games, Jones played 98 snaps with four tackles, a tackle for loss, a quarterback hit and a fumble recovery. He was the most double-teamed Cardinals defender on pass rushes, seeing two defenders on 50.9% of his pass rushes.
Jones signed a three-year deal with Arizona in March that was worth up to $31.1 million and included a $9.75 million signing bonus.
In other injury news, Gannon said Wednesday that tight end Trey McBride was still in the concussion protocol after a vicious collision with safety Brian Branch late in the fourth quarter.
Gannon also said right tackle Jackson Barton's toe injury was day-to-day. Barton was Arizona's third-string right tackle and started in place of backup Kelvin Beachum, who missed the game with a hamstring injury. Barton left the game in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Charlie Heck.
"I thought he did good," Gannon said Monday of Heck. "He came in, and he knows what he is doing. He is a pro, and we feel good about him going into the game. He is a capable player."
Beachum's injury will continue to be evaluated throughout the week.
