While fans are eagerly anticipating news regarding Eddie Jackson's return against the Vikings, Coach Matt Eberflus remains non-committal, stating, "We don't have a clarification on that right now."
Jackson suffered a foot injury in Week 2's matchup against the Bucs. Initially, the Bears' outlook on his recovery seemed optimistic, choosing not to place him on the injured reserve. Such a move would've mandated him to miss a minimum of four games. Not opting for this allows one to deduce that they hoped for a quicker return, perhaps within three games.
Despite this, Jackson has yet to participate in a practice session since the injury. For him to get the nod for Week 6, he'd probably need to join at least a limited practice session this week.
It's worth noting that last year, Jackson faced a significant Lisfranc foot injury in Week 12, sidelining him for the season's remainder. Before this setback, he was having a strong season, showcasing improved tackling skills and securing four interceptions.
