D'Marco Jackson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Picks off Maye on Thursday Night Football Jackson finished with six tackles (three solo) and an interception Thursday in a 30-24 victory over New England.

Impact Jackson's six stops were good for second-most on Chicago. However, his biggest impact came on a second-quarter interception of Drake Maye in the Bears' end zone to snuff out what looked to be a Patriots scoring drive. Jackson played every Chicago defensive snap Thursday and has posted a snap share of over 79 percent each of the past three weeks after logging less than half of the team's defensive snaps Weeks 1-4.

FEBRUARY 15 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Career year in 2025 Jackson tallied 43 total tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defensed, including one interception, across 16 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact Prior to his 2025 campaign with the Bears, Jackson was primarily a special-teamer, recording just 26 total tackles across 27 regular-season games with the Saints from 2023 to 2024. While he remained a key special-teams contributor in Chicago (273 special-teams snaps), the 27-year-old started the first four games of his career and logged a personal-best 259 defensive snaps. Set to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason, Jackson will likely find work as a reserve outside linebacker while continuing to contribute on special teams.

Huge performance in victory Jackson posted seven tackles, including two solo, with one interception and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Jackson has delivered highly variable tackle totals in four games as a starter, ranging from three to 15 stops, and this marked his first sack of the season. As long as he remains in an expanded role, his mix of splash plays and inconsistency makes him a volatile IDP option.

Makes five tackles in win Jackson finished with five tackles (two solo) in Friday's 24-15 win over the Eagles.

Impact The middle linebacker also played on every defensive snap for the second game in a row as Chicago continues to deal with injuries at linebacker to T.J. Edwards (hand), Tremaine Edmunds (groin), Noah Sewell (elbow) and Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder). Jackson should continue to see opportunities until Edwards returns.

Steps into major role Jackson recorded 15 tackles, including five solo, in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

Impact Jackson took over at middle linebacker with Chicago down its top three linebackers, leading to a full-time role. After logging only 32 defensive snaps and roughly one tackle per game before Week 12, his sudden workload makes him an elite IDP fill-in as long as linebacker injuries persist.

Making first career start Jackson is in line to make his first career start in Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Impact Two of Chicago's starting linebackers, T.J. Edwards (hand) and Noah Sewell (elbow), are inactive for Sunday's contest. In nine games this season, Jackson has played on 32 defensive snaps and 180 special-teams snaps, making 11 tackles (four solo).

Looking good for Week 4 Jackson (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Won't play against Dallas Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact Jackson registered an LP-DNP-LP practice log this past week while working through a hamstring injury. He has not progressed enough in his recovery to suit up Sunday, and his next chance to play is Week 4 against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 28. Ruben Hyppolite will serve as the Bears' top backup at outside linebacker behind Tremaine Edmunds and Noah Sewell in Jackson's absence.

Checks into preseason opener Jackson (ankle) recorded one tackle (one solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 27-13 preseason loss against the Chargers.

Impact Jackson spent the last four weeks of the 2024 season on New Orleans' injured reserve list due to an ankle injury, but he was apparently healthy again for the start of the 2025 preseason. He played exclusively on special teams during most of his appearances last year and will have to compete for a spot on the Saints' final 53-man roster.

With his move to IR, the linebacker is now ineligible to return during the regular season. Jackson finishes the NFL campaign with a career-high 14 tackles (eight solo) while playing primarily on special teams.

Impact Jackson hurt his ankle in the second quarter this past Sunday against the Giants and didn't return. The third-year linebacker was unable to practice all week and will thus miss Sunday's matchup against Washington. Jackson hasn't played a defensive snap in any of his past seven contests, but he's a core special-teamer for the Saints.

Won't return Sunday Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Jackson missed the first three games of the regular season due to a calf injury he sustained during training camp. Jackson mostly played on special teams in 2023, but he could see playing time with the first-team defense Sunday after Demario Davis was ruled out due to a hamstring injury.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Week 3 Jackson (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Jackson managed to log back-to-back limited practice sessions heading into the weekend, but he'll nonetheless miss a third straight regular-season game due to a lingering calf injury. The depth linebacker will target Week 4 on the road against Atlanta to retake the field.
