Last year, though, he got benched for Theobinadette and later hit Inja Reserve with a knee issue right after rehabbing a fractured ankle in the off-season. Many Bears fans were caught off guard by the move. They figured the team would chase Taylor Decker who just got released by the Detroit Lions instead of turning back to Jones. Now fully healthy, Jones has a real opportunity to reclaim his starting spot. Ozzie Trapilo, who took over later in the season, tore his patellar tendon in the postseason and might miss all of 20-26.
