Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Set for MNF
Jackson (ankle) is active for Monday night's game against the Seahawks.
Jackson was listed as questionable Saturday after returning to full participation. The outside linebacker has ultimately been able to overcome his ankle injury and is set to suit up opposite Devin Bush as the Bears take on the defending Super Bowl champs in primetime.

Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Deemed questionable for MNF
Jackson (ankle) is questionable to suit up Monday versus Seattle.
Jackson's practice status fluctuated during the week, as he was limited Thursday, didn't participate Friday, and logged a full session Saturday. Despite being a full-go in the final practice of the week, the veteran linebacker isn't entirely in the clear for the Monday night matchup in Seattle. T.J. Edwards is slated to return Monday from a two-game absence, so the Bears could have a fortified linebacker corps if Jackson is able to suit up.

Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Picks off Maye on Thursday Night Football
Jackson finished with six tackles (three solo) and an interception Thursday in a 30-24 victory over New England.
Jackson's six stops were good for second-most on Chicago. However, his biggest impact came on a second-quarter interception of Drake Maye in the Bears' end zone to snuff out what looked to be a Patriots scoring drive. Jackson played every Chicago defensive snap Thursday and has posted a snap share of over 79 percent each of the past three weeks after logging less than half of the team's defensive snaps Weeks 1-4.

Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Re-signs with Bears for two years
Jackson re-signed with the Bears on a two-year, $7.5 million contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Jackson can earn up to $10.5 million on his new contract with incentives. He made the first four starts of his three-year NFL career during the 2025 regular season while appearing in 16 games. The 27-year-old linebacker spent the preceding two seasons with the Saints.

Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Career year in 2025
Jackson tallied 43 total tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sack, and three passes defensed, including one interception, across 16 regular-season games in 2025.
Prior to his 2025 campaign with the Bears, Jackson was primarily a special-teamer, recording just 26 total tackles across 27 regular-season games with the Saints from 2023 to 2024. While he remained a key special-teams contributor in Chicago (273 special-teams snaps), the 27-year-old started the first four games of his career and logged a personal-best 259 defensive snaps. Set to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason, Jackson likely will find work as a reserve outside linebacker while continuing to contribute on special teams.

Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Huge performance in victory
Jackson posted seven tackles, including two solo, with one interception and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Jackson has delivered highly variable tackle totals in four games as a starter, ranging from three to 15 stops, and this marked his first sack of the season. As long as he remains in an expanded role, his mix of splash plays and inconsistency makes him a volatile IDP option.

Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Makes five tackles in win
Jackson finished with five tackles (two solo) in Friday's 24-15 win over the Eagles.
The middle linebacker also played on every defensive snap for the second game in a row as Chicago continues to deal with injuries at linebacker to T.J. Edwards (hand), Tremaine Edmunds (groin), Noah Sewell (elbow) and Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder). Jackson should continue to see opportunities until Edwards returns.

Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Steps into major role
Jackson recorded 15 tackles, including five solo, in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Jackson took over at middle linebacker with Chicago down its top three linebackers, leading to a full-time role. After logging only 32 defensive snaps and roughly one tackle per game before Week 12, his sudden workload makes him an elite IDP fill-in as long as linebacker injuries persist.

Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Making first career start
Jackson is in line to make his first career start in Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Two of Chicago's starting linebackers, T.J. Edwards (hand) and Noah Sewell (elbow), are inactive for Sunday's contest. In nine games this season, Jackson has played on 32 defensive snaps and 180 special-teams snaps, making 11 tackles (four solo).

Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Looking good for Week 4
Jackson (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Jackson was sidelined for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys due to a hamstring issue, but it appears he's over it, as preparation for Week 4 kicks into gear. He projects to play most if not all of his snaps on special teams Sunday at Las Vegas.

Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Won't play against Dallas
Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Jackson registered an LP-DNP-LP practice log this past week while working through a hamstring injury. He has not progressed enough in his recovery to suit up Sunday, and his next chance to play is Week 4 against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 28. Ruben Hyppolite will serve as the Bears' top backup at outside linebacker behind Tremaine Edmunds and Noah Sewell in Jackson's absence.

Saints' D'Marco Jackson: Checks into preseason opener
Jackson (ankle) recorded one tackle (one solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss against the Chargers.
Jackson spent the last four weeks of the 2024 season on New Orleans' injured-reserve list due to an ankle injury, but he was apparently healthy again for the start of the 2025 preseason. He played exclusively on special teams during most of his appearances last year and will have to compete for a spot on the Saints' final 53-man roster.
