Bears safety Eddie Jackson will start Sunday against the Saints after missing most of the last six games with a foot injury.

“It’s good. It’s been good,” Jackson said, “Happy to be back.”

It’s been a frustrating first half of the season for Jackson, who missed the final five games of last season with a Lisfranc injury. He injured the same foot in Week 2 against the Buccaneers.
