CHICAGO -- The Bears placed safety Eddie Jackson on injured reserve Tuesday after he sustained a foot injury against the Jets.
Jackson went down Sunday with a noncontact injury while defending quarterback Mike White's 54-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson with 5:09 remaining in the second quarter. The Bears had single-high coverage with Jackson back deep. The safety went down at Chicago's 30-yard line while backpedaling before planting his foot in the turf.
The 29-year-old safety has four interceptions through 12 games, which is tied for the third most in the NFL.
