The Chicago Bears have a quick turnaround this week in a Thursday Night Football game against the New England Patriots, and there are questions about several key injured players, including right guard Jonah Jackson.
Jackson excited Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons with a hip injury, and he was listed as a non-participant during Monday's walkthrough. While there's been some concern about Jackson's status moving forward, one NFL insider has an encouraging update.
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Jackson has a hip flexor and is considered week-to-week. While his status for Thursday night's game against the Patriots is in doubt, Jackson's injury isn't considered long-term, which is great news.
Jackson has been arguably the Bears' best offensive lineman this season, and he's been a key part to the offense's success since being traded to the team during the 2025 offseason.
While it's highly unlikely Jackson suits up for Thursday night's game against the Patriots, especially given the short week, there's a good possibility he returns the following week. Chicago then has a 10-day rest period after their game against New England before their Week 8 game against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football.
