Bears cut two players including Velus Jones Jr.


by - Senior Editor -

The Chicago Bears announced on Friday that they have released fullback Khari Blasingame and waived receiver Velus Jones Jr.

The moves will become official on Saturday.

Jones was a former third-round pick in 2022 by the Bears.

He has been a healthy scratch since Week 2. During his time with the Bears, he has caught 12 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown. He also had 1,042 return yards on 39 kick returns.

Veteran special-teamer DeAndre Carter has played well this season and has minimized the need for Jones.

Blasingame was likely cut because there wasn't a huge role for a fullback in Shane Waldron's Bears offense.
