The Facts:
Jones has told coaches and teammates he will report to training camp by the midnight Wednesday deadline. The Bears' first mandatory practice is at noon Thursday.
Reported by the Chicago Tribune
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
"I would definitely be surprised if we had a holdout for training camp," Lovie Smith said June 21. That date marked the Bears' final organized team activity, a series of voluntary workouts that Jones skipped from April on because of dissatisfaction with his contracts. That absence prompted Smith to demote Jones to mostly second-team repetitions at the mandatory mini-camp June 2-4. ... But Jones is a known workout fiend and reported to the mandatory mini-camp in visibly good shape. How he handles watching Benson take most of the first-team carries -- if that's how it plays out -- will be interesting to monitor.
