Lions Sign DB Chris Jones Off Cardinals Practice Squad

The Lions told reporters on Wednesday they have signed DB Chris Jones to the active roster, per Justin Rogers.

Jones was previously on the Cardinals’ practice squad. 

Jones, 25, wound up signing on with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska back in 2018. He agreed to a three-year, $1.71 million contract with the Lions but was waived coming out of the preseason.

Jones later signed to the Cardinals’ practice squad and was signed to the active roster late in 2018. He bounced on and off the roster in 2019 before being waived coming out of camp this year and re-signed to the practice squad.

In 2019, Jones appeared in 11 games for the Cardinals and recorded 14 total tackles, no sacks or interceptions and six pass defenses.
