Ravens Claim Bears Linebacker Carl Jones Jr. Off Waivers

The move targets special-teams depth after knee injuries to undrafted linebackers.

Overview

  • Baltimore added Jones to its 53-man roster on Monday, assuming his contract through the waiver process.
  • Jones appeared in nine games for Chicago this season, logging 148 special-teams snaps and 11 tackles.
  • The Bears waived Jones before their Week 14 matchup against the Packers with plans to adjust their roster.
  • Baltimore's special-teams unit has been thinned by knee injuries to Jay Higgins IV in Week 10 and Chandler Martin on Thanksgiving.
  • The transaction comes as the Ravens make other roster changes, including a three-game NFL suspension for guard Ben Cleveland before this week's Bengals game.
