The Ravens have claimed quarterback Jimmy Clausen off waivers, the team announced on Tuesday.

Clausen was waived by the Chicago Bears on Monday after two seasons. A second-round pick of the Panthers in 2010, he spent the first four years of his career in Carolina.

The Ravens were short a quarterback, after starter Joe Flaccotore his ACL and MCL in a Week 11 win over the Rams and was placed on injured reserve. Veteran Matt Schaub will take over starting duties for the remainder of the season.

• Peyton Manning expected to miss at least two games​

Clausen saw action in two games and started one this season while Bears starter Jay Cutler dealt with an injury. He completed a combined 23 of 40 passes for 184 yards with one interception.
