On Friday, the Chicago Bears got some surprising bad news on the injury front as they practiced for the final time before Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. Two players showed up on the Bears’ injury report, one of whom has been a significant reason for the success of the defense in the Windy City.
That player is safety Eddie Jackson, who has become a turnover and touchdown machine since arriving in Chicago as a fourth-round draft pick a year ago. in 29 games with the Bears, Jackson has seven interceptions, two forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries, and he has taken five of those turnovers back for touchdowns.
