The Bears now have a full wide receiver room with seven guys fighting for snaps on Sundays. N’Keal Harry joined Jones on the inactive list in Week 10 despite his solid play in the previous three games. Harry will be inactive Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons due to an illness. “When you see people getting uniforms and you not getting a uniform, it makes you take it to another level,” wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert said. “At least, it should. He’s been doing that, especially the last couple weeks. Taking it to another level as far as his preparation, as far as his details, all of that. Extra work after practice. All of that.
Darnell Mooney is the same age as Jones, but as the established No. 1 in the Bears’ receiver room, Mooney has tried to guide Jones as the rookie works to find his footing in the NFL.
