Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Lions have signed LB Christian Jones to a two-year extension through the 2021 season.
Jones has started every game for the Lions since the team hired Matt Patricia as their head coach.
Jones, 28, wound up signing on with the Bears as an undrafted free agent out of Florida State back in 2014. He played out the final year of his three-year, $1.537 million rookie contract before returning to Chicago on a one-year deal for the 2017 season.
The Lions later signed Jones to a two-year contract last March. Jones was in line to be an unrestricted free agent next year.
In 2019, Jones has appeared in seven games for the Lions and recorded 28 tackles, two sacks, a fumble recovery and four pass defenses.
