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.

Impact 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 quickly become a priority add.

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.

Impact 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 as the starter at free safety.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact Although his weekly fantasy totals have been volatile this season, he's 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 .

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Not available Sunday Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Ravens.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Impact Jackson was absent from practice Wednesday, making his return Thursday a positive sign for his ability to play in Week 11 against the Ravens. His level of participation Friday will provide a clearer indication of his availability for Sunday.
