    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Rookie kicker Tyler Jones returned to the Bears Tuesday when he was signed to the practice squad.Jones had originally joined the team as an undrafted free agent on April 29, but he was waived June 28, a little more than three weeks before the start of training camp.Jones converted 24 of 27 field goal attempts with a long of 48 yards last season at Boise State.The 6-1, 201-pounder made 3 of 8 field goal tries with a long of 52 yards as a sophomore and 19 of 25 with a long of 52 yards as a junior. He enjoyed his best season as a senior, converting 88.9 percent of his field goal attempts while registering 36 touchbacks on 105 kickoffs.Jones spent two years on a Mormon mission in Bolivia after high school before joining Boise State's football team as a walk-on.The Cleveland Browns claimed Jones on June 30 and he recorded six points with the Browns during the preseason, including a game-winning 41-yard field goal with 6:23 remaining in the preseason opener versus the New York Giants on August 13. The 6-1, 198-pounder was waived by Cleveland on August. 30.Jones fills an opening that the Bears had on their eight-man practice squad since cornerback Rod Babers was waived last Tuesday.</div>

    I believe Brien is 1 for 3 in field goals this year. Not the start us Bears fans were expecting.
