Sees time with starters
Jones (undisclosed) caught one of two targets for four yards while returning two punts for 47 yards and one kickoff for 31 yards in Thursday's 27-11 preseason win over Seattle.
Analysis: Jones made his NFL debut after sitting out Chicago's preseason opener. The rookie third-round pick out of Tennessee saw limited usage on offense; he played on the first series with starting quarterback Justin Fields but wasn't targeted until backup Trevor Siemian entered the game. Jones was also involved on special teams and fumbled the opening kickoff, though it was recovered by a teammate.

Expected to make pro debut Thursday
Jones (undisclosed) should see more than the anticipated 6-to-10 plays that the Chicago starters are expected to receive in Thursday's preseason game against the Seahawks,
Analysis: Jones missed Chicago's preseason opener last week with an undisclosed injury, but he'll be ready to go for the second exhibition contest. During recent practices, he's shown speed and playmaking ability. He'll get a chance to flash those skills against Seattle as he looks to earn a Week 1 role as one of the Bears' top three receivers.

Status uncertain for Thursday
Jones (undisclosed) was inactive last week, but if he takes the field he'll likely see 6-10 plays in Thursday's game against the Seahawks Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jones returned to practice Monday, but it's unclear as to whether he'll suit up Thursday. If he's in the lineup, snaps for starters are expected to be limited, although coach Matt Eberflus indicated some first-teamers could see up to 20 plays after a short week of practice.

Out for second straight day
Jones did not practice for a second straight day Saturday due to an undisclosed injury, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Analysis: Head coach Matt Eberflus said Jones and fellow rookie Kyler Gordon were "day to day," but the coach withheld why both players were missing time. The Bears saw their wide receiver depth tested Saturday after N'Keal Harry (leg) and Byron Pringle (quad) were both unable to participate. While the status of either wide receiver hasn't been officially confirmed, it seems likely one or both could miss extended time during training camp, which could open the door for Jones to earn valuable first-team…read more
