Kevin Jones’ history playing for Mike Martz didn’t save him.
Vaugh McClure of the Chicago Tribune reports the Bears released the veteran running back Tuesday, the same afternoon Jones confidently spoke about his future with the team.
On a positive note, Jones has been medically cleared again after tearing ligaments in his left ankle last year. There is no room for him with Chester Taylor and Matt Forte in Chicago, but Jones could get a workout elsewhere.
After a career filled with devastating injuries, Jones will have to be carefully examined by a team’s medical staff before getting serious consideration for a roster spot.
