Chandler Jones to undergo season-ending biceps surgery

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury announced Wednesday that edge rusher Chandler Jones will undergo biceps surgery and miss the remainder of the season, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com.

Kingsbury added that he believes the All-Pro defender faces three-to-four months of recovery.

Jones had been seeking nonsurgical options to address the injury, which knocked him out of Arizona's win over the New York Jets in Week 5. Kingsbury said postgame that Jones was "probably" done for the year.

The 30-year-old Jones posted one sack in five appearances this season. He had a career-high 19 sacks in 2019 en route to a runner-up finish in Defensive Player of the Year voting.

Jones who's in his fifth season with the Cardinals, is scheduled to earn $15.5 million in base salary in 2021, which marks the final year of his contract.
