Jackson (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Jackson was placed in concussion protocol following Sunday's Week 9 victory over the Lions. The 27-year-old logged a limited practice Thursday and full practice Friday looking for a chance to suit up for Sunday's game. If he is unable to play, another defensive back will have to take over the slot corner role. With Jeff Okudah (concussion) out, Tavierre Thomas, Jay Ward and Dwight McGlothern are all potential candidates for the role.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that Jackson is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Jackson played just 25 total snaps (15 on defense, 10 on special teams) before exiting Sunday's win, recording two total tackles. The 27-year-old's practice participation throughout the week should provide the clearest indication of his availability for the Week 10 matchup against the Ravens, though he'll need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: Re-signs with Minnesota

The Vikings re-signed Jackson (toe) on Wednesday.
Jackson was set to be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, but he quickly came to terms on a new deal with the Vikings to keep him in the fold for 2024. The 2022 sixth-round pick played in 15 games for Minnesota last season, logging 126 snaps on defense and another 260 on special teams and finishing with 21 tackles (14 solo) and one interception. He missed the final two games of 2023 with a toe injury, but the health concern doesn't look to be anything that will threaten his availability for training camp.
