Coach Matt Eberflus said Tuesday that the Bears will "experiment" with Jones at the running back position during and leading up to Saturday's road preseason game against the Bills, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Eberflus praised the "versatility of the talent and the skillsets that [Jones] offers our offense." The 2022 third-round pick has done worryingly little across two seasons with the Bears, with just four catches for 20 yards on seven targets, plus eight carries for 51 yards, across 14 regular-season games last year. It's possible that working out of the backfield will spark something for the 27-year-old, who may also benefit from the NFL's revised kick return rules this season. Still, it's difficult to imagine Jones earning consisted touches in a running back room that already houses D'Andre Swift, Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson.
