Velus Jones had just explained what happened in Saturday’s game — he muffed a punt that he decided to let bounce and then tried to catch on a hop — when he was asked about the makeup of the Bears wide receiver room.

Last year at this time, the Bears had the weakest receiver corps in the NFL. Since then, they’ve traded for DJ Moore and Chase Claypool and drafted Tyler Scott. Jones needs to shore up his special teams play just to make the team, right?
