Wide receiver and returner Velus Jones’ future with the Bears looks bleaker than ever after the team made him inactive for the season opener against the Packers on Sunday. Jones was a third-round pick (No. 71 overall) just last year, but simply doesn’t have a job at this point.
He’s too far down the depth chart on offense to have a path to playing, and the Bears have replaced him as punt returner with veteran Trent Taylor and kick returner with rookie Tyler Scott.
