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.

Fantasy Football 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.
