Top Chris Board News

  • Patriots' Chris Board: Signs with New England

    Board signed a a two-year deal with the Patriots on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Board spent last season with the Lions, where he appeared in all 17 games and registered 21 tackles (17 solo) while playing primarily on special teams. The 27-year-old should be expected to have a similar role on his new team, and while Board may not contribute much on defense, he can still provide a lot of value to New England's special-teams unit.

  • Lions' Chris Board: Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Board (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

    Board didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a knee injury, but he returned as a limited participant Friday and will have a chance to suit up Sunday. Across four appearances this season, Board has recorded 10 tackles while playing a rotational role.

  • Lions' Chris Board: Getting first-team reps

    Board and Alex Anzalone took the majority of first-team reps at linebacker this spring, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    This isn't a surprise in the sense that Board's one-year, $2 million deal tops that of Jarrad Davis' one-year, $1.2 million pact. With Anzalone at middle linebacker and Julian Okwara on the strong side, Board presumably fits in at weakside linebacker in Detroit's new 4-3 base defense. If so, he probably will have less responsibility as a pass rusher than Okwara, who racked up five sacks on fewer than 400 defensive snaps last year.

  • Lions' Chris Board: Inks in Detroit

    Board signed a one-year contract with the Lions on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Board appeared in 16 games in three of the last four seasons with Baltimore, and he also logged a 15-contest slate back in 2019. The special-teams ace, who has also proven capable of contributing on defense in a situational capacity, now brings his talents to Detroit.

  • Ravens' Chris Board: Lands on reserve/COVID list

    The Ravens placed Board on their reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Board reportedly tested positive for the virus, but if vaccinated, he will only need to record two negative tests, 24 hours apart to be able to suit up for Week 16. Malik Harrison may see an increased depth role for the Ravens defense if Board isn't available to play against the Bengals on Sunday.
