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.
