Robert Jones’ comeback season will take place in San Francisco. The veteran offensive lineman is signing with the 49ers, [per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero](https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/2036237357855240495).
Jones joined the Cowboys last offseason but suffered a scary injury during training camp when he broke a bone in his neck. That injury ultimately landed the guard on season-ending injured reserve.
The former UDFA out of Middle Tennessee spent the first four seasons of his career in Miami. He played his way into a larger role during his time with the Dolphins, culminating in a 2024 campaign where he started all 17 games. While Pro Football Focus was never particularly fond of his blocking skills, his ability to play both tackle and guard made him a useful piece.
Jones inked a one-year, $4.75MM deal with the Cowboys last offseason, where he was expected to be in the mix to replace right guard Zack Martin. Instead, he suffered a broken bone in his neck during a late-August practice. While there was initial hope for a two-to-three month recovery and a stint on short-term IR, the Cowboys instead opted to sit him out for the entire 2025 campaign.
