The Chicago Bears exited their bye week with some bad news. Safety Eddie Jackson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday afternoon, the team announced.
It’s unclear if Jackson tested positive for COVID-19 or was in close proximity with someone who tested positive.
If Jackson tests negative for the virus, he is eligible to come off the list in five days and would be able to suit up on Sunday evening against the Packers.
According to Layer Mayer of ChicagoBears.com, Jackson is the eighth Bears player to be placed on the list this season.
Jackson has played in every game for the Bears in 2020 and has 58 tackles with three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and a touchdown.
If he is unable to come off the list, safeties Deon Bush and DeAndre Houston-Carson would see additional playing time in his absence
