Jones-Quartey is primarily competing with rookie Deon Bush to become the Bears' starting strong safety, ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones-Quartey appeared in 13 games, including four starts, as a rookie in 2015, but after the Bears spent a fourth-round draft choice to select Deon Bush, the second-year player will face stiff competition to become the team's starting strong safety. He recorded 29 tackles to go along with a forced fumble and an interception last year, and he'll need to continue improving upon his physical style of play during the preseason games, as he tries to earn a role that could result in plenty of tackles in the Bears' upgraded defense.

Jones-Quartey will make a second straight start at safety in Sunday's game against the Lions, Bob LeGere of the Daily Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Antrel Rolle remains sidelined with an ankle injury, allowing the undrafted rookie to see additional defensive snaps. Jones-Quartey finished with a modest four tackles in the Week 5 win over the Chiefs, and he'll probably need to double that output over a span of multiple weeks before he gains much traction as an IDP option.
