The Bears are unsure of Velus Jones’ availability because of an illness that kept him out of practice Friday.

After DJ Moore and Darnell Mooney, the Bears have significant concerns at wide receiver with Equanimeous St. Brown out (pectoral) and Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones (illness) questionable against the Lions on Sunday.

The Bears pulled Scott off the practice field Friday when he had tightness in his hamstring. Jones was out of practice entirely, and coach Matt Eberflus said it was too early to forecast if he’d be healthy enough to play.
