Bears receiver Velus Jones might not be one for much longer.
The Bears are spending the week trying Jones at halfback, coach Matt Eberflus said Tuesday after Jones played with the second-string running backs.
Jones is the Bears’ primary kickoff returner — and a good one, too — but has struggled to catch the ball and make an impact at receiver. The Bears believe he’s dangerous whenever he gets the ball in his hands.
In the two seasons since general manager Ryan Poles made him his first offensive player drafted, Jones has posted only 11 catches on 21 targets.
