ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — For Velus Jones, it was just like old times.
The Bears’ wide receiver had six carries for 34 yards and a four-yard touchdown run to conclude a one-week experiment at running back in the Bears’ 33-6 preseason victory over the Bills at Highmark Stadium.
“It felt good just getting the ball in my hands,” Jones said. “My first position at [youth] league was running back and I played some running back my senior year of high school. I’ve got highlights.”
