With respect to safety Mike Brown, Bears running back Kevin Jones has to be the most physically ripped of all the players on the Bears squad. Even as rehabilitation from knee surgery limited his movement, Jones entered training camp looking as stalwart and impressive as ever. Still, the Bears would like to see him lose 10 pounds.

It’s a request maybe more fitting for Refrigerator Perry or Cedric Benson, but per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times, “The thinking is Jones will better be able to handle the the wear and tear of the job on his surgically repaired right knee if he’s a little bit lighter.”

Makes sense, I suppose. Jones is currently 228 pounds and on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. If my math skills serve me right, that means the Bears want him 218 pounds. You’ve got to love the California public school system.

The Bears added the former Lion back on July 15. As of now, it’s uncertain whether or not Jones will be able to participate in any offseason activities. When ready, he’ll likely either split time with, or back up, rookie Matt Forte. Duh.
