Thomas Jones is the starter for the critical 3rd Pre-season game.

A few days after some of the Bear's players backstabbed Cedric Benson about leaving the field early during the 2nd preseason game, Thomas Jones was declared healthy enough to practice.  He practiced all this week and is schedule to start the critical 3rd preseason games.  He will probably be the starter for tthe regular season as loong as his groin injury does not get worse.  He has the trust of the other players despite management wanting Benson to be the starter.
