EDDIE JACKSON NEWS

Gets look from Chargers The Chargers signed Jackson to their practice squad Monday.

Impact Jackson began the season in Baltimore and played in nine games before he was waived Nov. 23. During his time with the Ravens, the veteran safety tallied 30 tackles (18 solo) and one defensed pass, but his tenure ended abruptly, as he was a healthy scratch Week 9, returned and played just 14 defensive snaps Week 10, then missed Week 11 for personal reasons before being let go. Jackson's presence could be needed in Los Angeles before the end of the regular season with both Alohi Gilman (hamstring) and Marcus Maye (ankle) on injured reserve.

Let go by Baltimore The Ravens waived Jackson on Saturday.

Impact Jackson was a healthy scratch for Week 9 against the Broncos, and after playing in Week 10, he was ruled out for Week 11 against the Steelers due to personal reasons. The eighth-year safety out of Alabama will finish his first season with the Ravens with 30 tackles (18 solo) and one pass defense over nine regular-season games. Should he clear waivers, Jackson will look to catch on with a team in need of veteran depth in the secondary.

Ruled out for Week 11 Jackson (personal) will not travel with the Ravens to Pittsburgh and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact It's been a bumpy last couple of weeks for Jackson, who was a healthy scratch in Week 9 against the Broncos after playing all 66 defensive snaps in Week 8 against the Browns, during which he logged a season-high 10 tackles (eight solo) and one pass defense. He returned for Week 10 against the Bengals, though he played just 14 snaps on defense and did not record a tackle. Jackson's next chance to suit up will be Week 11 against the Chargers on Monday, Nov. 25. Ar'Darius Washington will serve as the Ravens' primary backup at safety behind starters Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams.

Healthy scratch Week 9 Jackson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against Denver, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Jackson started and played every defensive snap last Sunday versus Cleveland, but he dropped multiple potential interceptions and was burned in coverage, leading to his inactive status this Sunday. Marcus Williams didn't see the field last week, but he's active against the Broncos and will presumably start at safety. The Ravens' secondary will also get a boost by the return of Marlon Humphrey, who sat out last week due to a knee injury.

Plays every snap in loss Jackson recorded 10 tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 29-24 loss at Cleveland.

Impact Jackson had rotated in and out of action for the entire year leading up to Week 8, but he was on the field for all of the Ravens' 66 defensive snaps Sunday, and he unsurprisingly set a new season high in the tackle department for himself. Whether he plays a similar role in Week 9 versus the Broncos will depend mostly on the availability of Marlon Humphrey (knee).

Eddie Jackson gets to work with his new NFL team After seven seasons with the Chicago Bears, the former All-Pro safety has joined the Baltimore Ravens.

Makes deal with Baltimore The Ravens signed Jackson to a one-year contract Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Chicago released Jackson back in February after his seventh season with the team, but he's now found another opportunity in Baltimore. Marcus Williams and 2022 first-rounder Kyle Hamilton should retain their spots in the Ravens' starting lineup to begin the year, but Jackson could eventually push his way onto the field if he can stay healthy.

Bears waive former All-Pro safety Eddie Jackson, offensive lineman Cody Whitehair

The Chicago Bears have waived former All-Pro safety Eddie Jackson and offensive lineman Cody Whitehair.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024

Finishes worst season of career Jackson collected six tackles in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Jackson posted the best stats of his career on a per-game basis in 2023, but he followed that up with the the least productive campaign of his seven-year career. For the second year in a row, he missed five games after never missing more than three games in any of his first five years. On the season, Jackson recorded 37 tackles and an interception. Going into the last year of his contract in his age-30 season, it's unlikely Jackson will be highly-coveted in 2024 IDP drafts.

Available Sunday Jackson (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Jackson has missed four of the last five games due to his foot injury, but he'll be able to suit up in prime time Sunday. Over three appearances this season, he's tallied five tackles (three solo) and two pass defenses.

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

Impact Jackson is in danger of missing his fifth game of the season in Week 8 as he tends to a lingering foot injury. If he's sidelined, 2022 seventh-rounder Elijah Hicks would be in line for an expanded role in Chicago's defensive backfield.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Wednesday jackson (foot) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Jackson has been sidelined for four of the Bears' previous five games, including Week 7. His limited participation to kick off the week is a cause for optimism, but it remains to be seen how the week will progress.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Raiders Jackson (foot) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus Las Vegas.

Impact Jackson missed practice again Friday, and he'll sit out for the fourth game in five weeks Sunday. In his stead, 2022 seventh-rounder Elijah Hicks should see more playing time.

Not practicing Thursday Jackson (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jackson left last week's contest against Tampa Bay with a foot injury, but at the time, the issue wasn't considered to be serious by head coach Matt Eberflus. The 29-year-old went from limited participation in Wednesday's practice to a DNP on Thursday, and it seems as if his availability for Sunday's game against Las Vegas could be up in the air.

OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited at Wednesday's practice Jackson (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coach Matt Eberflus downplayed Jackson's injury following Sunday's loss versus the Vikings, so it's possible Chicago is just giving him extra rest. In any case, he'll probably need to log a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
