Jackson posted seven tackles, including two solo, with one interception and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson has delivered highly variable tackle totals in four games as a starter, ranging from three to 15 stops, and this marked his first sack of the season. As long as he remains in an expanded role, his mix of splash plays and inconsistency makes him a volatile IDP option.

Jackson finished with five tackles (two solo) in Friday's 24-15 win over the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

The middle linebacker also played on every defensive snap for the second game in a row as Chicago continues to deal with injuries at linebacker to T.J. Edwards (hand), Tremaine Edmunds (groin), Noah Sewell (elbow) and Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder). Jackson should continue to see opportunities until Edwards returns.

Jackson recorded 15 tackles, including five solo, in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson took over at middle linebacker with Chicago down its top three linebackers, leading to a full-time role. After logging only 32 defensive snaps and roughly one tackle per game before Week 12, his sudden workload makes him an elite IDP fill-in as long as linebacker injuries persist.

Jackson is in line to make his first career start in Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Two of Chicago's starting linebackers, T.J. Edwards (hand) and Noah Sewell (elbow), are inactive for Sunday's contest. In nine games this season, Jackson has played on 32 defensive snaps and 180 special-teams snaps, making 11 tackles (four solo).

Jackson (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was sidelined for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys due to a hamstring issue, but it appears he's over it as preparation for Week 4 kicks into gear. He projects to play most if not all of his snaps on special teams Sunday at Las Vegas.

Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson registered an LP-DNP-LP practice log this past week while working through a hamstring injury. He has not progressed enough in his recovery to suit up Sunday, and his next chance to play is Week 4 against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 28. Ruben Hyppolite will serve as the Bears' top backup at outside linebacker behind Tremaine Edmunds and Noah Sewell in Jackson's absence.

Jackson (ankle) recorded one tackle (one solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson spent the last four weeks of the 2024 season on New Orleans' injured reserve list due to an ankle injury, but he was apparently healthy again for the start of the 2025 preseason. He played exclusively on special teams during most of his appearances last year and will have to compete for a spot on the Saints' final 53-man roster.

Jackson (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson injured his ankle last Sunday against the Giants and had already been ruled out for this Sunday's Week 15 game against Washington. With his move to IR, the linebacker is now ineligible to return during the regular season. Jackson finishes the NFL campaign with a career-high 14 tackles (eight solo) while playing primarily on special teams.

Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Commanders, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson hurt his ankle in the second quarter this past Sunday against the Giants and didn't return. The third-year linebacker was unable to practice all week and thus will miss Sunday's matchup. Jackson hasn't played a defensive snap in any of his past seven contests, but he's a core special teamer for the Saints.

Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson injured his ankle in the second quarter, and it is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Jackson has mostly played exclusively on special teams since Week 7.
