Harmon is an 11th-year veteran with 78 career starts.

The Bears signed veteran safety Duron Harmon off the Ravens’ practice squad Tuesday, promoting him to their active roster two days before they play the Commanders.

Harmon, 32, is in his 11th season and has 78 career starts. He began his career with the Patriots and was on three of their championship teams.

He’ll help to fortify a defensive backfield that is missing safety Eddie Jackson, who hurt his foot against the Buccaneers; cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who hurt his hamstring against the Chiefs; cornerback Kyler Gordon, who went on injured reserve after breaking his hand in the season opener; and Gordon’s backup, Josh Blackwell, who hurt his hamstring against the Chiefs.
