Bears rookie wide receiver Velus Jones is doubtful with a hamstring injury and not expected to play Sunday against the Texans. But the third-round draft pick from Tennessee is getting closer to returning after participating in practice on a limited basis for the second consecutive day Friday.
‘I’ve been praying on it. I feel close,” Jones said. “Today [Friday] was a good day — running and stuff like that. But just looking at everything one day at a time.”
Jones was hampered by the recurring hamstring issue in training camp. He had a 48-yard punt return and 31-yard kickoff return against the Seahawks in the preseason, but was sidelined again with the hamstring injury the following week.
