Velus Jones: Headed to Duval
The Jaguars signed Jones to the practice squad Tuesday.Jones was waived by the Bears on Friday after being a healthy scratch in each of Chicago's last six regular-season games. The 2022 third-round pick will look to take advantage of his new opportunity with the Jaguars, who need additional depth at wide receiver after Christian Kirk fractured his collarbone during Sunday's loss to the Packers. With rookie wideout Brian Thomas (chest) considered day-to-day, Jones has a chance to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

Bears' Velus Jones: Three touches in victory
Jones rushed twice for 11 yards while catching an eight-yard pass in the Chicago Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.After an impressive preseason in which Jones was effective as a running back, he served in the committee with Khalil Herbert and Travis Homer behind starter D'Andre Swift. Although it appears that Jones may be in line to see snaps on offense, he may need to separate himself from the other backup running backs if he is going to have reliable fantasy value.

Bears' Velus Jones: Stars as lead running back
Jones rushed 13 times for 111 yards and a touchdown and secured both targets for 11 yards in the Chicago Bears' 34-21 preseason win over the Chiefs on Thursday night.Jones recorded a game-high yardage total on the ground with the help of a 39-yard scoring scamper, seeing his most extensive action as a running back yet this preseason. The converted wide receiver appears to have acclimated nearly seamlessly to the position change, but it's presently difficult to ascertain exactly how Jones may fit in a crowded running back room if he indeed makes the final roster. However, were one of Roschon Johnson or Khalil Herbert to be traded before the start of the regular season, Jones could make for an intriguing change-of-pace back alongside whichever of the two remains and lead back D'Andre Swift.
