Chicago Bears' former third-round draft pick Velus Jones Jr. has been released by the NFC West team Seattle Seahawks. The 29-year-old, who spent three seasons with the franchise after being selected 71st overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, is now on the Seattle practice squad. The move was made to accommodate the activation of special teams contributor Irv Charles, who was recently brought back from injured reserve.
Jones, a versatile offensive weapon during his time in Chicago, struggled with ball security and saw limited playing time in his second and third seasons. He was subsequently waived by the Bears and signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
