The Bears can’t possibly keep rookie wide receiver Velus Jones on the bench, but that’s where he has been stuck the last two games.
Jones was a third-round pick at a position of great need, and the team drafted him with high expectations that he’d be a playmaker. Instead, he was mostly playing as a return specialist, and he lost that job after fumbling punts against the Giants and Commanders.
But organizations don’t draft players in the third round to play special teams.
