  • Bears' Eddie Jackson: Departs from Chicago

    Jackson was released by the Bears on Thursday. Jackson posted a career-low 37 total tackles in 2023, his seventh NFL season, all with Chicago. The 30-year-old made the Pro Bowl in 2018 and 2019 and was well on his way to another successful season in 2022 before suffering a season-ending foot injury Week 12. The veteran safety will now have an opportunity to seek a career resurgence elsewhere ahead of the 2024 season.

  • Bears' Eddie Jackson: First interception of season

    Jackson intercepted a pass and recorded three tackles in the Bears' 20-17 loss to the Browns on Sunday. Jackson hasn't been a reliable IDP this year, as he has three or fewer tackles in five of eight games played. His season-long performance makes it seem as if he'll remain a low-floor, low-ceiling IDP option over the last few weeks of the season.

    Jackson (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Chargers, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

If he's sidelined, 2022 seventh-rounder Elijah Hicks would be in line for an expanded role in Chicago's defensive backfield.

  • Bears' Eddie Jackson: 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. 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.

  • Bears' Eddie Jackson: 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. 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.

He failed to intercept a pass, and he has just one pick during his three years in the league. As a tackler, he averaged three 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.

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.

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.
