Jul 24 Adam Rank, of NFL.com, reports Chicago Bears RB Kevin Jones (knee) is expected to compete with RB Matt Forte for carries. KFFL

Jul 15 Jones (knee) signed a one-year, $605,000 contract with Chicago on Tuesday, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Recommendation: Jones continues to recover from a torn ACL he suffered on Dec. 23, so don't set your expectations too high for him, and there remains a chance that he could open the season on the PUP list. Still, the Bears were probably one of the best situations Jones could put himself in, with their top three running backs - Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson and Garrett Wolfe - each having little to no starting experience in the NFL.
