Reed is slated to serve as the Ravens' No. 2 quarterback for Thursday night's game against Jacksonville.
Reed was signed to the 53-man roster off the practice squad Thursday. With both Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) on injured reserve, Reed will back up Joe Fagnano in Week 9, with Kedon Slovis (coach's decision) inactive but available if needed as the emergency No. 3 quarterback.

Rotowire
Reed was signed off the practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of Thursday's game against Jacksonville.
With Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) on injured reserve and Jacoby Brissett unavailable after recently being acquired from the Cardinals, the Ravens added Reed to bolster depth at the quarterback position. Reed will be behind Joe Fagnano and Kedon Slovis, and while that doesn't mean he will be active, he should at least be available if needed as Baltimore's emergency signal-caller.

Reed is slated to sign with the Bears as an undrafted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Reed (6-foot-2, 220 pounds) had a borderline late-round/UDFA draft grade by most analysts, but the sixth-year senior out of Western Kentucky ultimately didn't have his name called Saturday afternoon and will head to Chicago, where he'll slide in on the depth chart behind No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent and Brett Rypien. Reed completed 63.2 percent of his college throws for 8,086 yards, 71 touchdowns and 22 interceptions.
