British and Irish Lions hooker Jamie George failed to fire against the French after being handed a rare start, leaving Jones eager to bring Hartley back as he looks salvage pride by derailing Ireland's hopes of winning a third grand slam.
"Dylan ran this morning but we need to get a medical report on him. I expect him to be available but we will just have to wait and see. If he's fit then he'll be playing," Jones told reporters.
Daly will undergo a scan on his left foot, which is in a protective boot after he made his first appearance of the competition in Paris.
"The boot is just a precaution," Jones said of Daly.
Beating Ireland would ease the pressure on Jones and give England a measure of revenge after the Irish prevented them from securing the grand slam on the final day of last year's championship.
Successive defeats by Scotland and France have resulted in criticism of Jones, but the 58-year-old believes his squad has what it takes to arrest their slump.
"I think that every good team goes through this period, it's actually an essential part of developing a great team," the Australian said.
"The learnings we'll get from this, albeit very painful, are absolutely crucial going forward because it is about how we respond.
"It's not as if we can't play rugby, we know we've got good players as they've played for the Lions and won games for England. When you get a loss it tests your mental resolve and that's the test we've got to face."
