Re-signs with Chicago
The Bears re-signed Jones to a one-year contract worth up to $10 million on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones lost his starting job at left tackled to 2025 second-rounder Ozzy Trapilo last season, but Trapilo suffered a serious knee injury in Chicago's wild-card win over the Packers and could miss the beginning of the 2026 campaign. Jones gives the Bears an experienced option, though he could face competition for the spot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be benched
Jones could be benched in favor of Theo Benedet coming out of the Bears' Week 5 bye, Courtney Cronin of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones entered the season under scrutiny after coach Ben Johnson said the team wouldn't hesitate to shift playing time at left tackle. The 2022 fifth-round pick was replaced by Benedet in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Raiders, a move that could become permanent. Jones is in the final year of his rookie contract.
