Eddie Jackson

As the Bears search for a long-term replacement for Eddie Jackson, another South Florida safety, one who has worked out with Jackson, might wind up being their answer in the 2024 NFL Draft.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Bears had several holes on their roster the moment the 2023 regular season ended, and they created one more when they cut safety Eddie Jackson earlier this month. Jackson was both a ballhawking free safety who ranged the back of the defense and a leader who made sure everyone in the secondary knew their responsibilities on the…

Eddie Jackson and Cody Whitehair served their purpose in Ryan Poles’ rebuild, but they weren’t going to be part of the plan going forward at their respective cap numbers.

The Bears are cutting ties with longtime free safety Eddie Jackson and offensive lineman Cody Whitehair. That makes both players free agents now and gives them the opportunity to sign with a team before the rest of the free agent market opens for negotiations on March 11. Jackson was best known in Chicago for his big playmaking abilities in the…

The Bears’ defense has preached about its dominant potential all season. After finishing against the Cardinals, they see only elite possibilities in front of them –both in the 2023 homestretch and the future.

Eddie Jackson didn’t play Sunday but the Bears’ safety had valuable perspective on a telling loss in LA.

The Bears will almost be back to full health when they take on the Vikings in Week 6. The team announced its inactives before the game, and neither Eddie Jackson nor Lucas Patrick were on the list, meaning they’re cleared to play. Jackson missed three games with a foot injury while Lucas Patrick left Week 5’s game against the Commanders…

The Bears got clarity with many players on their extensive injury report on Friday. Several players have already been ruled out due to their injuries and others head into Sunday’s game against the Vikings without a game designation. Here’s what it all means for the team. The Bears figure to get two starters back in the secondary. Both Jaylon...

The Bears are playing coy with the statuses of many of their injured players, as usual.

The Bears will once again be without two of their top players in the secondary when they take on the Commanders on Thursday Night Football, and they might be without another. The team ruled out cornerback Jaylon Johnson (hamstring) and free safety Eddie Jackson (foot) as they continue to recover from their injuries. Johnson hurt himself in Week 3 against…

The Bears are going to be without several key players in their secondary when they take on the Broncos this Sunday.

In the first injury report of the week, the Bears were dinged up at defensive back

The Bears ruled Eddie Jackson “out” for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a foot injury. Jackson will not travel with the team to Arrowhead Stadium.

The big Bears injury news of the day was that starting left tackle Braxton Jones is going on IR with a neck injury, and he has no timetable to return. But, the team’s first injury report of the week indicates there’s more to keep an eye on as the team gets ready to take on the Chiefs in Kansas...

The Bears secondary got even more banged up against the Buccaneers on Sunday. The team lost both Eddie Jackson and Jaquan Brisker over the course of their second defensive drive of the game.

Eddie Jackson didn’t make much of Dan Hampton’s comments, but had a message for Bears doubters going forward.

The Bears’ defense talked all offseason about being dominant, and then came out and got run over by the Packers. That “slap in the face” can either be a quick wake-up call or send their season into a tailspin that’s hard to recover from.

Eddie Jackson was limited Wednesday, but the veteran safety believes he’ll be ready to go when the Aaron Rodgers-less Packers arrive Sunday.

The Bears got some good news as they began their week of practice to prepare for the Packers in Week 1. Other than Teven Jenkins, who will miss at least four weeks on injured reserve, the team is almost back to full health.
