MINNEAPOLIS -- The Los Angeles Chargers made cornerback J.C. Jackson inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
The decision comes as a surprise, as the team didn't list Jackson on its injury report during the week and the Chargers will play against Justin Jefferson, who leads the NFL in receiving yards.
Jackson signed a five-year, $82.5 million deal with the Chargers in May 2022 after a Pro Bowl and All-Pro season with the New England Patriots, where he was second in the NFL with eight interceptions.
