The Bears’ final episode of “Hard Knocks” aired Tuesday and focused on closing out training camp and moving on to what the team hopes will be a breakthrough season.

As general manager Ryan Poles worked to get his roster down to the 53-player limit, he received a call about a trade for running back and special teamer Velus Jones. It wasn’t clear which team reached out and what it offered — the Bears have final edit on the show — but Poles said he refused to accept less than a fourth-round pick for Jones.
