Ex-Bears Quarterback Gets Major Career News Before TNF With Ravens

Former Chicago Bears quarterback Austin Reed has received major career news in the form of a promotion with the Baltimore Ravens for Thursday Night Football. The Ravens officially signed Reed -- a former standout UDFA in Chicago -- to their 53-man roster hours before Thursday night's kickoff against the Jacksonville Jaguars, promoting him from their practice squad to serve as rookie Joe Fagnano's backup. https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/2118449515959132516 Reed signed with the Ravens' practice squad earlier this week after significant injuries to both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley thrust Baltimore's quarterback room into disarray.
