The Chicago Bears have signed RB Brittain Brown and LB Carl Jones Jr. to the active roster ahead of their Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In corresponding moves, RB Roschon Johnson and LB Tremaine Edmunds were placed on IR. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the transaction.
The Bears are down their top three linebackers on Sunday with Edmunds, T.J. Edwards and Noah Sewell all ruled out with injuries, so Carl Jones Jr. gets the nod from the practice squad. He’s appeared in seven games with Chicago this season, totaling 10 tackles. He signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent out of UCLA following the 2024 NFL Draft.
