John is correct..does not matter when Bid is made..the clock stops at 11:59 the night prior to the game being played:
================================================== ========
If a player's 24 hour challenge period hasn't expired prior to 11:59pm on Saturday, bidding on that player will suspend until the following Tuesday at 12:00am when the 24 hour clock will resume.

If a bid is made on any player between 12:00am Sunday and 11:59pm Monday the bid will be treated as if it were made on Tuesday at 12:00am and the 24 hour challenge period will not begin until that time. Also note, that for players involved in Thursday or Saturday games, the clock will suspend the evening prior to their game(s) at 11:59pm and won't resume until the following Tuesday at 12:00am.
================================================== =

So the clock on Jones stopped at 11:59 Wednesday evening, and will resume again on Tuesday....sorry Chief...
