News

  • Out for Week 3

    Jackson (foot) will not travel with the Bears for their Week 3 matchup against the Chiefs, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was unable to log a practice this past week after being carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. With Jackson out, expect Elijah Hicks and Quindell Johnson to see increased workloads against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' passing attack in Week 3.

  • Doubtful for Week 3

    Jackson (foot) did not participate at practice Friday and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Kansas City, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: After he was carted off the field in Week 2 and missed practice during the week, it's actually somewhat surprising Jackson hasn't already been ruled out for Week 3 entirely. If he sits out as expected, 2022 seventh-rounder Elijah Hicks would likely see an increased workload in the defensive backfield.

  • Missing from practice Wednesday

    Jackson (foot) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: After being carted off the field in Week 2, Jackson was marked as a DNP on Chicago's first injury report of the week. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before the Bears' final injury report of the week is released Friday.

  • Seemingly day-to-day

    Coach Matt Eberflus said Monday that he's "not sure where it's going to trend this week" regarding the foot injury Jackson sustained in Week 2, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: The comments actually look like a positive development for Jackson, who left Sunday's 27-17 loss at Tampa Bay on a cart. Chicago's injury reports throughout the week should shed more light on the exact severity of the issue he's dealing with.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Jackson (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was carted off the field after suffering a foot injury, so it's not surprising to see him quickly downgraded to out. Jaquan Brisker (illness) also left the game early, so Elijah Hicks and Quindell Johnson are candidates for increased roles the rest of the way. It's worth noting that Jackson missed five weeks last season due to a Lisfranc injury to the same foot, but it's unclear if the two injuries are related.

  • Suffers foot injury against Bucs

    Jackson injured his foot against Tampa Bay on Sunday and is questionable to return.

    Analysis: Jackson exited in the first half and was subsequently carted off with his leg propped up, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. It's notable that the injury is to his left foot, as the defensive back missed five weeks last season due to a Lisfranc injury to the same foot. Fellow safety Jaquan Brisker also exited Sunday due to an illness. Elijah Hicks and Quindell Johnson have taken over against the Buccaneers in the absence of Chicago's starters.

  • Practices in full

    Jackson (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: The veteran safety out of Alabama is back to full participation after being limited Wednesday with an ankle injury. Jackson has started 88 games for Chicago throughout his six-year career, racking up 422 tackles, 14 interceptions and 10 forced fumbles. Expect the 29-year-old to continue wreaking havoc for the Bears' defense during the coming season.

  • Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Jackson (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson had been dealing with an undisclosed injury for the last couple of weeks, but Chicago's first practice report of the regular season identified the nature of his injury. The two-time Pro Bowl safety will look to upgrade to full participation by Friday, which would put him in position to play in Sunday's season opener versus the Packers.

  • Practices in full

    Jackson (undisclosed) was back at Thursday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Jackson has been nursing an undisclosed injury for about a week, but it looks like the issue was not too serious. The 29-year-old is entering his seventh season as the Bears' starting free safety. He recorded 80 tackles (59 solo), four interceptions, six passes defended and two forced fumbles across 12 games in 2022.

  • Hopeful for Week 1

    Head coach Matt Eberflus is confident Jackson (undisclosed) will be ready for the Bears' Week 1 matchup with the Packers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson has been sidelined for roughly a week with an undisclosed injury, but it fortunately does not sound serious. He is expected to start at free safety alongside Jaquan Brisker in the Bears' secondary this season.

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Jackson (undisclosed) did not participate in Thursday's joint practice with the Colts, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: There's no word on what prevented Jackson from taking part in the practice session, though Bears head coach Matt Eberflus indicated that the veteran safety is not dealing with a serious injury and is present with the team in Indianapolis. Jackson didn't play after Week 12 last season due to a foot injury, but he's reportedly recovered from that issue and is expected to be Chicago's starting free safety in 2023.

  • Firm hold on starting job

    Jackson has no real competition for the Bears' starting free safety role, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson appears to have shaken off the foot injury that landed him on injured reserve after Week 12 of the 2022 season. With the Bears having installed a new defense last year, Jackson's four interceptions was his highest total since 2018. He's free to roam and make plays in the defense, making him a strong IDP option.

  • Back practicing again

    Jackson (foot) participated in practice Wednesday at OTAs, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Per Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Jackson took part in all individual drills and got in a few team reps, as well. The Bears will presumably ease the safety back to 100 percent participation to avoid a setback, but he sounds close to putting last season's Lisfranc injury behind him. He should be good to go for the start of training camp.

  • Not present at OTAs

    Jackson (foot) wasn't present Tuesday at OTAs, but head coach Matt Eberflus said the safety is progressing in his rehab and expected back soon, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson continues to rehab from a Lisfranc injury that ended his 2022 campaign and is trending in the right direction. "All I can say is that [Jackson is] progressing along where [he's] supposed to be and it's all positive," Eberflus said. "We expect [him] back soon."

  • Began running three weeks ago

    Jackson (foot) began running three weeks ago, according to Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune.

    Analysis: Jackson battled various nicks and dings last season, missing five games, but his season ended for good after Week 12 due to a Lisfranc injury. He didn't require surgery to fix the issue and still isn't back to 100 percent, but Jackson appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of OTAs. Jackson picked off four passes in 2022, his highest total since he compiled a career-high six interceptions in 2018.

  • Ends season on injured reserve

    Johnson (foot) ended the season with 35 tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 11 games.

    Analysis: Johnson (finger/ribs) was placed on injured reserve after Week 15 and played 11 games. He failed to intercept a pass, and he has just one pick during his three years in the league. As a tackler, he averaged 3.2 per game, though his game-to-game production was inconsistent. Unless his situation changes next year, he'll be a moderate-floor, low-upside IDP option. He's under contract with the team through the 2023 season.

  • No surgery needed

    Jackson (foot) announced Friday via his personal Twitter account that he won't need surgery.

    Analysis: Jackson was placed on injured reserve at the end of November due to a Lisfranc injury and is expected to miss the rest of the 2022 campaign. However, the veteran safety won't need surgery to address his foot issue, so he'll presumably make a full recovery and be 100 percent healthy for offseason training.

  • Might require surgery

    Jackson (foot) could require surgery to address his Lisfranc injury, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and is expected to miss the rest of the season, but if surgery is deemed necessary, his availability for OTAs this spring could also be in jeopardy. The veteran safety had enjoyed a resurgent sixth season in the NFL before he suffered the non-contact foot injury in last week's loss to the Jets. He'll finish the 2022 campaign with 80 tackles, four interceptions and two forced fumbles in 12 games.

  • Heads to IR

    Chicago placed Jackson (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Though Jackson is technically eligible to return from IR in Week 18, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays that the veteran safety is expected to be shut down for the season after suffering what appeared to be a non-contact Lisfranc injury in Sunday's loss to the Jets. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Jackson is still receiving further medical opinions on his injury, but surgery could be necessary. The 28-year-old was in the midst of a resurgent season, recording 80 tackles, six pass…read more

  • Lisfranc injury feared

    The Bears fear Jackson (foot) suffered a Lisfranc injury during Sunday's loss to the Jets, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was carted to the locker room after doing down on the field during Sunday's loss, and he's now considered out indefinitely while undergoing more tests. If a Lisfranc injury is confirmed, the standout safety's 2022 campaign could be over. Elijah Hicks will stand to handle an increased role versus the Packers in Week 13 and as long as Jackson remains sidelined.

  • Done for Week 12

    Jackson (foot) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson had trouble getting off the field after suffering the injury and was ultimately carted to the locker room. His absence is a significant blow to the Bears' secondary, especially with Jaquan Brisker (concussion) inactive and Dane Cruikshank exiting Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury. Elijah Hicks has now taken over at free safety for Jackson.

  • Seven stops in late loss

    Jackson recorded seven tackles (six solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Jackson tied rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon for the Bears' third-most tackles Week 11. The veteran safety also logged his first pass defended that was not an interception of the season, and he has now played every defensive snap in all but of two games in 2022. Jackson is five tackles shy of matching his career-high mark from the 2020 campaign, and he should have a chance to crack this personal-best record against the Jets in Week 13.

  • Seven stops in close loss

    Jackson logged seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 35-32 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Jackson tied with rookie linebacker Jack Sanborn for the Bears' second-most tackles behind cornerback Kyler Gordon. The veteran safety has collected at least seven stops in all but three of nine games this season, and, after inside linebacker Roquan Smith was traded last Monday, he now has the most tackles of any current Chicago defender this season.

  • No injury designation

    Jackson doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Jackson was limited during the first two practices of Week 9 prep due to a hip injury, but he was upgraded to a full participant Friday and appears good to go for Sunday. The sixth-year safety has totaled 58 tackles, four interceptions and two forced fumbles across the first eight games of the campaign, including a season-high 11 tackles and one interception against the Cowboys in Week 8.

  • Dealing with hip injury

    Jackson was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury.

    Analysis: Jackson played every defensive snap during the Bears' Week 8 loss to the Cowboys, recording 11 tackles and one interception. However, he appears to have picked up a hip injury during the contest as well. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but he'll have two more opportunities to log a full session before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

  • Picks off another pass

    Jackson intercepted a pass and notched 11 tackles In the Bears' 49-29 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jackson has four interceptions on the season, and he's also tallied at least eight tackles in five of his last seven games. He also hasn't had fewer than four tackles in any game, giving him a reliable floor with an excellent ceiling in IDP leagues.

  • Continues dominant season

    Jackson tallied nine tackles in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jackson has recorded eight or nine tackles in each of his last four games. In addition, he's intercepted three passes and forced a fumble this season, and he should continue to be an elite IDP performer.

  • Another interception

    Jackson intercepted a pass while tallying nine tackles in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jackson has three interceptions in three games, and he's now posted at least eight tackles in Chicago's last three contests. He's performing at an elite IDP level, and he's nearly impossible to bench, aside from in shallow leagues.

  • Picks off pass

    Jackson intercepted a pass while adding eight tackles in the Bears' 23-20 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jackson has posted at least eight tackles in his last two games while intercepting passes in two of the first three games. It appears that the team's new defensive scheme suits him well, and in IDP leagues in which he's not rostered, fantasy managers may want to consider adding him.

  • Big tackle numbers

    Jackson collected nine stops in the Bears' 27-10 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: While the Packers were running the ball at will on the Bears, Jackson was heavily involved as a tackler, resulting in his second-highest tackle total of the past two years. Playing alongside rookie safety Jaquan Brisker has seemed to elevate Jackson's performance, making him a strong player to add in IDP leagues in which he's not rostered.

  • Picks off pass

    Jackson intercepted a pass and posted three tackles in the Bears' 19-10 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Jackson having rookie cornerback Jaquan Brisker helping more in run support, Jackson was freed up in pass coverage. As a result, he was able to roam the middle of the field, allowing him to pick off an errant pass from Trey Lance. If Jackson can create takeaways like he did during his first two years in the league, he could become a strong IDP contributor.

  • Remains starting free safety

    Jackson is one five safeties on the Bears' regular-season roster,

    Analysis: Jackson will team up with rookie Jaquan Brisker as the starting safeties in coach Matt Eberflus' defensive system. Although Jackson has had the highest tackle totals of his career in each of the last two years, the hope is that the presence of Brisker allows Jackson to roam more so that he can try to create big plays. After intercepting eight passes and recovering four fumbles in his first two years in the league, he's produced just four takeaways over the past three years. If he can return to…read more

  • Working to bounce back

    Jackson playing in a heavy-zone defense may help him re-emerge as a defensive leader on the Bears Gene Chamberlain of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: After recording eight interceptions and scoring five touchdowns in his first two years in the league, Jackson has recorded just two interceptions and one touchdown in the last three seasons. The new defense is expected to let him fly around the field and try to make plays, opposed to being left regularly in coverage, which hasn't been his area of strength. Based on the past three years, Jackson may not be drafted in many IDP leagues, but if he gets off to a hot start to the season, he may…read more

  • Moderate outing in finale

    Jackson posted five tackles in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 76 stops.

    Analysis: On a per-game basis, Jackson posted the most tackles of his five-year career, but for the second year in a row, he failed to post an interception or a sack. Unless he can make a drastic return to his playmaking days of his first two seasons in the league, he'll merely be a solid-floor IDP. He's signed with the Bears through the 2024 season, and he'll be expected to remain the starter at free safety.

  • Solid performance

    Jackson recorded eight tackles in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Although Jackson has had an up-and-down season, he's averaged eight tackles over the last three games, and he'll be worth considering as an IDP option in Week 18 against the Vikings.

  • Removed from COVID-19 list

    Jackson was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson missed Monday's loss to the Vikings due to protocols, but he is expected to be available for the team's Week 16 clash with the Seahawks. In three games before he was sidelined, Jackson notched 17 tackles (13 solo) and one pass deflection.

  • Added to COVID-19 list

    Jackson (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Jackson was among six Chicago players to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday. Regardless of whether he tested positive or was just a close contact, Jackson will have the potential to suit up for Monday's game against Minnesota. His potential activation would provide a big boost to the Bears' defense, as Jackson has been on the field for 100 percent of defensive snaps in all but one contest this season.

  • Leads team in stops

    Jackson notched nine tackles in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Although his weekly fantasy totals have been volatile this season, Jackson has posted at least eight tackles in three of his last five games, and his increased recent production have put him back in the mix as a solid IDP option at safety .

  • Another quiet performance

    Jackson had five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Jackson played every defensive snap but didn't make too much of an impact, as he has only eight tackles in two games since returning from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The 27-year-old has 48 tackles (32 solo) and one forced fumble through 10 games with zero sacks or passes defensed.

  • Active against Lions

    Jackson (hamstring) is active for Thursday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Jackson was forced to miss the last two games with a hamstring injury. Although he was limited at practice throughout the week, he'll be available and should reclaim his starting role during the Thanksgiving Day matchup against Detroit.

  • Not available Sunday

    Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Coming off the bye week, Jackson was able to log limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, but that won't be enough to clear him for Week 11. The former Alabama standout will miss his second consecutive game due to the hamstring injury, which will likely mean that Tashaun Gipson and Deandre Houston-Carson will operate as Chicago's top two safeties once again.

  • Questionable Sunday

    Jackson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Jackson didn't practice Wednesday but logged limited sessions over the last two days, so he has a strong chance of featuring this week against Baltimore. The former Alabama standout had played 100 percent of the snaps prior to suffering an injury against the 49ers in Week 8, and if he can't go, then Marqui Christian would operate as his replacement.

    Jackson (hamstring) practiced in limited fashion Thursday.

    Analysis: Jackson originally picked up the injury in Week 8 against San Francisco but wasn't quite ready to get back on the field after the bye week. The 27-year-old will most likely need to get out there Thursday or Friday in order to suit up against Baltimore on Sunday.

  • Could return against Ravens

    Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that he's "hoping" Jackson (hamstring) will be able to return Sunday against the Ravens, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was inactive for the Bears' loss to the Steelers due to his hamstring injury but has a chance to return following the team's Week 10 bye. The safety was held out of practice ahead of Week 9, so he'll presumably have to return to practice this week if he hopes to play against Baltimore.

  • Inactive Monday

    Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Monday's matchup with the Steelers.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Jackson was deemed doubtful prior to the contest. He was a non-participant at practice all week due to a hamstring injury. The absence will be his first since 2018. Marqui Christian will presumably fill in for him.

  • Doubtful for Monday

    Jackson (hamstring) is officially doubtful for Monday against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Jackson has missed practice all week after injuring his hamstring against the 49ers on Sunday. If Jackson, who hasn't missed a game since 2018, can't go Monday, Marqui Christian will likely step into the starting role.

  • Misses practice Thursday

    Jackson (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Jackson left Sunday against the 49ers on the second play of the game and was unable to return. He's been a mainstay on the Bears defense since 2017 and hasn't missed a game since 2018. Luckily for Jackson, he'll have an extra day to get ready this week, as the Bears don't play until Monday night against the Steelers. If Jackson can't go, Marqui Christian will likely step into the starter role.

    Jackson (hamstring) is questionable to return Sunday against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Jackson got injured in the second play of the game, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to return. Deandre Houston-Carson is replacing him in the meantime.

  • Strong performance in defeat

    Jackson tallied 11 tackles in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: After failing to surpass five tackles in four of his first five games, Jackson has 19 stops over the last two weeks, and while he's riding his hot streak, he's a reasonable fantasy starter in IDP leagues.

  • Strong performance in defeat

    Jackson notched eight tackles in the Bears' 24-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jackson posted a season-high tackle total after collecting just six tackles over the last two games combined. With no sacks or interceptions on the season, he's a volatile IDP option with a low weekly scoring floor.

  • Produces six tackles

    Jackson recorded six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 26-6 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Jackson has been dinged up this year with wrist and toe injuries, but he's not showing any ill effects, handling every defensive snap this year. The fifth-year safety recorded a career-high 82 stops last year. He's off to a good start to match that this year.

  • Active against Cleveland

    Jackson (toe) is active Week 3 against Cleveland.

    Analysis: Jackson was on the injury report earlier this season with a wrist issue, but it was a toe injury that led to a "questionable" status entering Week 3. It ultimately will not keep the starting free safety -- who has logged nine combined tackles through two games -- from suiting up.

  • Active against Rams

    Jackson (wrist) is active for the Bears Week 1 matchup against the Rams on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jackson was questionable due to a wrist injury, though he logged full practices throughout the week. As that participation would indicate, Jackson is ready to go and should play a key role in trying to shut down the Rams' offense.

  • Questionable despite full practices

    Jackson (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Jackson's injury designation is peculiar considering he was able to participate fully in every practice this week. Chances are he'll be able to give it a go for Sunday's season opener, but confirmation likely won't be available until shortly prior to kickoff.

  • Ready to practice

    The Bears announced Tuesday that Jackson (hamstring) will be activated from the non-football injury list and resume practicing.

    Analysis: Jackson missed the start of training camp due to a hamstring strain, but he's now returned to health. The safety will have a few days to warm up before Saturday's preseason contest against the Dolphins, though the Bears' starters may only see limited reps.

  • Moves to NFI list

    The Bears placed Jackson (hamstring) on the non-football injury list Wednesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Matt Nagy said earlier in the day that Jackson was dealing with a minor hamstring injury, so the safety shouldn't be in line for a lengthy absence. He'll have two-plus weeks to get healthy for the preseason opener Aug. 14 versus Miami.

  • Slowed by hamstring injury

    Bears head coach Matt Nagy said Wednesday that Jackson is dealing with a minor hamstring injury, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Nagy said he wasn't overly concerned with Jackson's injury, which resulted in the defensive back opening the season on the non-football injury list. Jackson will likely be fully healed in time for Chicago's Aug. 14 preseason opener versus Miami.

  • Disappointing regular season

    Jackson tallied four tackles in Chicago's 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jackson posted a career-high 82 tackles but failed to record an interception for the first time in his four-year career. Although he was an elite playmaker in the earliest part of his career, he's been a middling IDP option since. He'll be back in Chicago next year, as he signed through 2024.

    Jackson (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was limited in practice this week due to a hip injury, but the 28-year-old apparently isn't in danger of missing his first game since 2018.

  • Limited Thursday by hip issue

    Jackson (hip) was held to limited participation during the Bears' practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: The two-time Pro Bowl safety was seemingly clear of any health issues while logging full practice reps Wednesday, but a late-week appearance on the injury report raises questions heading into a crucial Week 16 road trip to Jacksonville. The severity of Jackson's hip issue may become more clear by way of Chicago's Christmas Day injury update. The 27-year-old has been far less effective in coverage this season, surrendering a 71.4 percent completion rate with two touchdown passes against him.…read more

  • Notches seven tackles

    Jackson posted seven tackles in the Bears' 33-27 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: After recording at least seven tackles in five of the first 10 games, this was the first time since Week 10 that Jackson has tallied more than seven stops. His inconsistency makes him a risky IDP option in Week 16 against the Jaguars.

  • Activated from COVID list

    Jackson was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

    Analysis: Jackson appears to have been a high-risk close contact of an infected individual when he was placed on the COVID-19 list earlier in the week, but he's now on track to play Sunday against the Packers after producing multiple negative tests. The Bears' starting free safety has provided at least seven tackles in three of his last four games while also forcing a pair of fumbles during that span.

  • Moves to COVID list

    Jackson (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old has either tested positive for the virus or was a high-risk close contact of an infected individual. Assuming he doesn't have the virus, Jackson could return in time for Sunday's game against Green Bay if he continues to produce negative tests.

    Jackson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Jackson began he week not practicing, but the knee issue won't impact his availability for Sunday's contest. The 27-year-old has 49 total tackles, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery through eight games.

  • Limited Thursday

    Jackson (knee) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session.

    Analysis: It's at least progress for the two-time Pro Bowl defensive back, as Jackson was forced to sit out Wednesday's practice entirely and made an appearance on that day's injury report. Jackson was not reported as having an injury during or immediately following Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints, a contest in which he racked up eight tackles and a forced fumble while playing all 74 of Chicago's defensive snaps.

    Jackson didn't suit up in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: This is tough news for the secondary of the Bears, as both starting safeties in Jackson and Tashaun Gipson (foot) were listed on the injury report.

  • Another strong performance

    Jackson posted eight tackles and a forced fumble in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jackson has either forced or recovered a fumble in each of the last three weeks, and he's posted his two highest tackle totals over the past two games. After a brief cold spell through most of October, he seems to have re-emerged as a high-upside IDP option.

  • Available as expected Week 8

    Jackson (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 8 tilt against the Saints.

    Analysis: Jackson's ability to finish the practice week as a full participant and subsequent reporting foreshadowed this news, but the 27-year-old now is officially available to take on a short-handed Saints offense. Through seven games this season, Jackson has recorded 41 tackles (32 solo), a fumble recovery, a forced fumble and a defensive touchdown, giving him significant IDP value.

  • Should play Sunday

    Jackson (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Despite carrying a designation into the matchup, Jackson was able to conclude the week as a full practice participant, which signaled that he wasn't at major risk of sitting out versus New Orleans. The safety should remain a strong IDP option in the secondary after compiling 41 tackles to go with a fumble recovery for a touchdown through the Bears' first seven games.

  • Questionable despite full practice

    Jackson (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Jackson seems more likely than not to suit up after upgrading to a full practice Friday following a pair of limited sessions. The safety is a key cog on Chicago's robust defensive unit, having racked up 41 tackles. Jackson had his best game of the season in Monday's loss to the Rams, racking up a season-high nine tackles to go with a touchdown on a fumble recovery.

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Jackson (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson appears to have picked up a knee injury during Monday's loss to the Rams, in which he scooped up a fumble and returned it for a touchdown. It's encouraging to see that the starting free safety wasn't held out entirely, at least. He'll work to upgrade to full participation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints.

  • Scores touchdown

    Jackson returned a fumble for a touchdown while recording nine tackles in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.

    Analysis: Jackson was all over the field making tackles, and in the fourth quarter, his aggressiveness had him in the right place at the right time, as he scooped up a fumble and took it to the house. Actually, he's found the end zone three times this year, but the first two times it happened, penalties overturned the scores. With at least six tackles in each of his last four games, he's becoming an IDP with a solid weekly floor.

  • Posts eight tackles

    Jackson recorded eight tackles in Chicago's 17-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: After returning an interception for an apparent touchdown, Jackson's celebration was terminated after he was flagged for defensive pass interference on the play. Despite the penalty, the big play that was negated reminds fantasy managers of the big-play ability Jackson possesses. Otherwise, the eight tackles he posted was a higher total than he posted in 14 of 16 games last season. In IDP leagues, Jackson is a volatile performer who possesses big weekly upside.

    Jackson notched six tackles in the Bears' 27-23 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Although he didn't make any of his signature big plays, Jackson was solid in the season opener. He'll likely continue to post decent tackle totals with the ability to increase his weekly fantasy production by intercepting passes and forcing fumbles.

  • Lands huge extension

    Jackson signed a four-year, $58.4 million contract extension with the Bears on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jackson's contract includes $22 million fully guaranteed and $33 million in total guarantees, and his $14.6 million average annual salary is the highest among players at his position. He's been one of the top safeties in the league since the Bears selected him in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, so it makes sense for the team to lock him up for the foreseeable future. Jackson made his second straight Pro Bowl in 2019, and he received first-team All-Pro honors in 2018.

  • Posts second interception of season

    Jackson picked off a pass and added a pair of tackles in the Bears' 21-19 victory over the Vikings in Week 17, and he finished the season with 60 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and two interceptions.

    Analysis: Jackson continues to be a solid IDP option, but he's failed to match the impact of his 2017 rookie campaign in either of the last two seasons. As he enters the last year of his contract with the Bears, he'll provide fantasy owners with a stable floor, but unless he can return to his rookie form, he may not be the elite fantasy option that many expected him to be.

  • Picks off first pass of 2019

    Jackson intercepted a pass while adding two tackles in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Lions on Thursday.

    Analysis: After establishing himself as an elite playmaker during 2018, Jackson counts only Thursday's interception and a forced fumble earlier in the season as his only true impact plays of the current campaign. With just 4.5 tackles per game, he's a fairly ordinary IDP option at the safety position.

  • Tallies 10 stops

    Jackson recorded 10 tackles in Chicago's 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: With the Eagles leading this contest from early on, they piled up 35 rushing attempts, allowing Jackson to have a very productive afternoon. On the season, he's yet to record a forced fumble, interception or sack, and this is only the second time all season he's posted more than four tackles. Despite his proven track record as a playmaker, he currently isn't an asset in IDP leagues.
