Jones rushed six times for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 33-6 preseason win over the Bills on Saturday.
On Aug. 6, coach Matt Eberflus vowed to experiment with Jones as a running back. Eberflus was true to his word, and Jones handled six carries with the reserves, including a 19-yard run and a short touchdown. The Bears invested a third-round pick on Jones in 2022, and aside from contributions on special teams, the team has gotten very little offensive production from him. It may be difficult for the third-year player to move into one of the top three spots on the depth chart, but this showing certainly didn't hurt Jones' chances of seeing more work as a running back.
