Rookie Velus Jones Jr. could get another shot with the Chicago Bears this week after being inactive the last 2 games.
The next-man-up philosophy is expected to give Chicago Bears rookie Velus Jones Jr. another shot.
Special teams coordinator Richard Hightower didn’t want to tip his hand about who will be the returner, but running back Trestan Ebner steps into a position as David Montgomery’s backup, and the Bears likely won’t want to risk more attrition at the position by using the rookie from Baylor. That gives Jones a good chance to be the kickoff returner, something he last did in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. scores a touchdown in the third quarter against the Vikings on Oct. 9 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.“We’re going to look at as many different ways as possible to fill that void,” offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said. “Nothing will necessarily replace Khalil. He’s done such a nice job for us. We’re looking at a bunch of different things.”
“A lot of teams liked to bracket me as a receiver,” Jones said. “ would put me in the backfield just to get the ball in my hands. I can do many different things. We’ll see if they have some of that in mind to add to the playbook.”
