The Facts: Jones told Sirius Radio that one of the things the Bears want him to do is drop 10 pounds while he's on the physically unable to perform list.

Diehards Line:The thinking is Jones will better be able to handle the the wear and tear of the job on his surgically repaired right knee if he's a little bit lighter. Jones had surgery to repair a torn ACL in January and is at least a decent bet to begin the season on PUP. Right now, the roster lists the ex-Lions back at 6-foot, 228 pounds. According to Sun-Times staffer Brad Biggs, it's not like Jones looks out of shape. Meanwhile, the Bears don't have to make a decision on Jones for five weeks, so Jones, who could start the regular season on the physically unable to perform list, has time to meet their goal.
