The Chicago Bears signed cornerback Lamar Jackson to a reserve/futures contract on Wednesday.
Jackson, an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska, signed with the New York Jets in 2020. As a rookie, he appeared in 13 games, including six starts, where he totaled 28 tackles, one tackle for loss and two pass breakups.
Last season, Jackson spent 17 weeks on the Jets’ practice squad before making his regular-season debut in a Week 18 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he played five special-teams snaps.
