Former Alabama safety Eddie Jackson placed on Bears’ injured reserve
Former Alabama safety Eddie Jackson was placed on the Bears’ injured reserve on Tuesday. This comes two days after Jackson suffered a foot injury against the New York Jets.
Jackson was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft. Since then, he has been named a First-Team All-Pro (2019) and has appeared in two Pro Bowls (2018, 2019), as well.
The Florida native has started in all 88 games that he has played in as a member of the Bears. This season, Jackson recorded 80 tackles, four interceptions, and two forced fumbles.
The injury will likely result in him missing the rest of the 2022-2023 season. This is a blow to a Bears defense that has struggled as of late.
The #Bears have placed WR Darnell Mooney (ankle) and S Eddie Jackson (foot) on IR, and both are expected to miss the rest of the season.
