Jones may be in line to start Thursday's preseason game against the 49ers, Dan Woike of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
With both Philip Rivers and Kellen Clemens expected to sit out Thursday's game against the 49ers, Jones will have an ample amount of snaps to impress coaches as he jockeys for a spot on the 53-man roster. Jones turned in his best performance of the preseason Saturday, throwing for 74 yards on nine completions while looking more comfortable in the pocket. With only one other quarterback, Mike Bercovici, available to play on the roster, Jones will surely play at least the first half and could extend even beyond that as the Chargers look to decide if they have their quarterback of the future in house.
