BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens agreed to a one-year deal with former Chicago Bears safety Eddie Jackson on Friday.

Jackson, 30, bolsters a safety position that already features Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams. He is expected to fill the role left by Geno Stone, who signed with Cincinnati after leading the AFC with seven interceptions this past season.

Jackson spent his first seven seasons with Chicago, playing in 100 games with 15 interceptions and 459 tackles. He made the Pro Bowl in 2018 and 2019.

The Bears released Jackson in February. He had been slowed by foot injuries, missing 10 games combined the past two seasons.

The Ravens open training camp Sunday.
