Bears tackle Braxton Jones hurt his neck in Week 2.

Bears left tackle Braxton Jones is in line to start Sunday in New Orleans after the Bears took him off injured reserve Saturday.

Jones returned to practice last week after missing five weeks because of a neck injury he suffered in a Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. The Bears had three weeks to remove him from IR after allowing him to practice.

Jones, who didn’t miss a single snap last year, will help bring some much-needed continuity to an offensive line beset by injuries since training camp.
