Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones has suffered a biceps injury that will "probably" sideline him for the remainder of the season, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said after Sunday's game against the New York Jets, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The team ruled Jones out of the game against the Jets in the second quarter due to the ailment. The two-time All-Pro defender hasn't missed a game since 2015.

The 30-year-old racked up 19 sacks and a league-high eight forced fumbles in 2019. He's amassed at least 10 sacks in each of the last five seasons, and his 50 sacks since 2017 are the most in the NFL.

Jones has recorded 10 tackles and one sack through the first four games this year.

The three-time Pro Bowler played his first four NFL campaigns with the New England Patriots after they selected him in the first round in 2012.

New England traded the Syracuse product to Arizona in 2016. He's currently playing on a five-year, $82.5-million contract he inked in 2017.
