The Chicago Bears made it official yesterday, signing former Lions' running back Kevin Jones to a one-year deal.

Jones is coming off yet another injury-riddled season and is less than seven months removed from ACL surgery. He impressed enough in workouts for various teams though to garner significant interest.

The former first round pick has been a bit of enigma during his brief career, but has dispalyed glimpses of brilliance. The real question for fantasy owners is "can he stay healthy"? Also, it is going to be interesting to see how soon he will make an impact and get on to the filed.

"They're going to be cautious with me," Jones told the Chicago Sun-Times. "The doctors recommended I don't get hit in the first week of training camp. I don't know what the plan is for the preseason."

Jones' addition is "not expected to diminish the role of (Matt) Forte, according to the paper.

It's way too early to determine Jones' value for me, but until he gets on the field and establishes himself in the offense, I can't see making him anymore than a RB4 or RB5 as a flyer with upside, especially with all the durability questions. Still, he's more valuable now than he was as an unsigned free-agent. Keep your eyes on this as camp unfolds.
