At the bottom of the article, it says that Thomas Jones and Lance Briggs didn't show. Anyone know if they have a good reason?

Briggs probably wants a new contract, Jones probably doesn't want to be slated as the backup no matter what just because Cedric Benson's getting paid more.

Doesn't Thomas Jones realize that he's nothing better than a servicable RB that can do the job ok. He's nothing special and he should be grateful for his opprotunities.

"To me, right now it's about us putting our best football team on the field," Smith said. "In order to do that, we need everyone here practicing. They're not here. That's hurting our ball squad to have two of our guys not here. I know there's business and it's volunteer workouts, but to me when the rest of your team is doing something, we need all of the team.

"To be a part of that you need to be here. We're disappointed they're not here, but at the same time we're getting a chance to see some other players. Someone has to take those reps, so this is a great opportunity for (running back) Cedric Benson and a great opportunity for (linebackers) Rod Wilson, Jamar Williams, guys like that to step up."

I respect Thomas Jones and I really don't want to see him replaced. I think he has a legit gripe, with the Bears bringing in Benson last year and Jones rushing for 1300 yards. I guess we'll see what Benson can do.

Bad move for Jones. He has no leverage.
