Placed on IR
The Bears placed Jones (ankle) on injured reserve Monday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Jones will finish the 2024 regular season on injured reserve. He will undergo surgery to repair a left ankle fracture that he suffered in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday. The expectation is that Jones should be able to fully recover by the start of training camp ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could earn big payday
Jones is well positioned to start at left tackle in 2024 and could consequently earn over $20 million per year on his next contract, Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com predicts.
ANALYSIS
The Bears didn't draft an offensive lineman until the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and the player they selected at that point, Kiran Amegadjie, is viewed as a project. Jones is thus projected to maintain the starting left tackle role that he had for most of the 2022 and 2023 seasons. If he can get a third season as a starting left tackle under his belt, Jones would be well set up to earn a large contract, either if he remains in Chicago or joins another team.
