The Latest Breaking News from Justin Jones

The Georgia All-America defensive tackle, arguably the best defensive player in the draft, is a 3-technique prospect who could do for Matt Eberflus’ defense what Tommie Harris did for Lovie Smith’s defense in 2004-08.

From Justin Fields' ascent to Ryan Poles' disastrous free agent class, here are our Bears takeaways at the bye week.

Today’s update is a 5-minute read that will brief you on the day’s biggest stories.

The Bears-Packers rivalry became real for defensive tackle Justin Jones, when Packers fans taunted the Bears after a 27-10 win in Week 2. “I feel like we owe them something,” he said. “I never really understood the rivalry until then.”

Last week, a day after the Chicago Bears lost their fourth consecutive game and fell to the bottom of the NFC, defensive lineman Justin Jones was asked how he and his teammates were handling the flood of losses, how players were digging deep to find the investment needed to persevere…

The challenge is a big one after the Bears were blown out by the Jets 31-10 on Sunday — with serious injuries to Darnell Mooney and Eddie Jackson depleting an already short-handed roster. “This team is closer than you think,” defensive tackle and team captain Justin Jones said.

Already short-handed, the Bears lost two leaders — for the game and possibly beyond — when Jackson injured his foot on a non-contact play and Mooney injured his ankle. A reeling team that has lost eight of nine games can’t handle much more.

Justin Fields will once again run for over 100 yards and throw for two TDs. That and more in our bold predictions for Bears vs. Falcons.

Here’s a look at how PFF graded the Bears offense and defense in their Week 10 loss against the Lions.
