Jones is expected to start at cornerback in Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports. Jones will pick up his first start since the 2022 season as he steps in as a replacement at one of the boundary corner spots for Tyrique Stevenson (calf), who is inactive. Over his five appearances on the season, Jones has tallied four tackles and two pass breakups across 104 total snaps (10 on defense, 94 on special teams).

Jones ended the season with 23 tackles in 17 games played. After playing 440 snaps as a rookie in 2022, Jones played just 142 snaps in 2023. From Week 10 on, the cornerback played just 35 total snaps, as his role decreased from earlier in the season. Jones is an unrestricted free agent who will look to land a depth role at cornerback.

Jones (concussion) participated in Chicago's mandatory minicamp Thursday, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports. During his rookie campaign, the 25-year-old played in 16 games appearing on both defense and special teams en route to logging 47 tackles (33 solo). Now past the concussion that he sustained in Week 18 last season, Johnson will likely serve as a rotational player in the Bears' secondary in 2023.
