Unlikely to play Saturday
Jones (undisclosed) isn't expected to take the field for Saturday's preseason opener against the Chiefs, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.
Impact
Jones has missed practice time due to an undisclosed injury and isn't expected to participate in Saturday's preseason game against Kansas City. The third-round draft choice is trying to secure a role as one of the top-three receivers on the team.

Out for second straight day
Jones did not practice for a second straight day Saturday due to an undisclosed injury, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Impact
Head coach Matt Eberflus said Jones and fellow rookie Kyler Gordon were "day to day," but the coach withheld why both players were missing time. The Bears saw their wide receiver depth tested Saturday after N'Keal Harry (leg) and Byron Pringle (quad) were both unable to participate. While the status of either wide receiver hasn't been officially confirmed, it seems likely one or both could miss extended time during training camp, which could open the door for Jones to earn valuable first-team reps whenever he's able to practice.

On to the Windy City
The Bears selected Jones in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 71st overall.
Impact
Jones began his career at USC before finishing up at Tennessee and will turn 25 in May. That age advantage naturally leads to questions about his college production, as well as whether he's topped out in terms of development. Still, Jones has tools; he led the SEC in kick-return yards in 2020 and 2021 and ran a blazing 4.31 40-yard dash at the combine. The Bears have tons of speed at receiver now between Jones, Darnell Mooney and Byron Pringle. In Jones' case, Chicago's lack of pass-catching depth could help him carve out a role early, but it's unclear if he can be more than just a speed threat.
