Jackson (knee) was placed on injured reserve by the Vikings on Tuesday.
Jackson suffered a torn meniscus during Sunday's 15-10 win over Miami, and he was already set to miss the rest of the regular season, so Tuesday's move to the IR comes as no surprise. Joe Huber is the top candidate to take over as Minnesota's starting left guard in Jackson's absence.
