Other than his time with the Bengals, Jones also played with the Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys.
The Ruler of the Jungle honor began in 2021, and each week either a die-hard Bengals fan or player is honored.

Jones has had a checkered past in Cincinnati, including multiple arrests and suspensions from the Bengals. Recently, Jones became the adopted father of Chris Henry, Jr., the son of his former college teammate, the late Chris Henry. Henry died Dec. 17, 2009 after he left the back of a pickup truck in Charlotte, N.C. The incident was later ruled an accident.
The Bengals (4-4) are coming off a tough 32-13 loss against the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 31. The game saw Joe Burrow sacked five times for a loss of 39 yards as Myles Garrett and company wreaked havoc on Cincinnati's offensive line.
The Bengals will look to bounce back against the Carolina Panthers in Paycor Stadium on Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.
