The Facts:
The Bengals, who could stand to add another player or two to their running back corps, brought in Jones for a tryout, Bryan Broaddus of DallasCowboys.com reported Monday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jones, a free agent, rushed for 402 yards and three touchdowns on 111 carries for the Cowboys in 2012. He has rushed for 2,728 yards and 11 TDs in five NFL seasons, all with Dallas. However, Jones gained a career-low 3.6 yards per carry a season ago. As PFT's Mike Wilkening notes, the Bengals have an established starting tailback in BenJarvus Green-Ellis but are in need of more depth with Cedric Peerman and Dan Herron the only other backs on the roster. And while Bengals.com staff Geoff Hobson, during a Saturday night appearance with the FootballDiehards on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio, believes the team will address the running back position early in the draft to help compliment Green-Ellis, Jones seems like a viable fallback option.
