And Altidore for that matter? Or Deuce. Or Wood.

I seem to recall that Arena likes to play with 2 strikers. And suddenly we seem to have those resources now.

I really don't see a way to keep two strikers on the field and also play Jones. Theoretically, you could put Deuce behind the striker in a 4-4-1-1 but that still pushes Pulisic back too far IMO. You can't pair Jones and Bradley together. You definitely don't want Jones in a diamond anywhere. 3-4-2-1 would accommodate Jones better.

But IMO, it's time to bench Jones.
