It should give A-train a few (say 5) extra carries per game when Jones returns. Granted A-train had all of 11 TOTAL carries on the year when TJ went down.
If anything, I'd deal FOR TJ right now. Having seen every single Bears game this year & my share of others with the ticket, talent wise, I don't believe there are 10 more talented backs in the league than Thomas Jones. He doesn't dance to the hole anymore -- which is the huge difference I've seen with him since his Arizona days. Kevin Jones right now is where Thomas Jones was in his early years in the league.
The QB situation (with Quinn at least) certainly put a damper on his value, but if you saw Quinn you understand how absolutely god awful he was. I wouldn't let him QB my high school team.
