For the USMNT

Jones hasn't been consistently available for the national team over the last year because of injures. He was fit for the March World Cup qualifiers, but missed the first due to suspension and then put in a veru underwhelming performance in the second. His showings, and injuries, have led some to question his place with the national team ... and that his fit with Michael Bradley in the central midfield remains inelegant at best doesn't help.

Jones' knee sprain means he'll be in a race to get fit for the June World Cup qualifiers. Sebastian Lletget would probably be the man to replace him, but he's also hurt, so Bruce Arena has himself in a bit of a pickle. There isn't a clear replacement for Jones if he can't play. And there's reason to question if he can get the job done, even if he can play.
