Jones, 25, tore his ACL Dec. 23, leading to his release by the Lions in March. Jones staged an impressive workout June 28 to show how quickly he has recovered. The Bears were not among those present but team officials did receive a videotape of the session and kept up with Jones more than they let on after Cedric Benson's release June 9. According to the Chicago Tribune, the Bears have faith in second-round pick Matt Forte, but adding a veteran with Jones' potential, even if he's not cleared until early in the regular season, would decrease the pressure on the rookie. The big question is how soon Jones will be ready to contribute? Stay tuned.
