Upgrades to full participation Jackson (neck) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Jackson upgraded to full participation after being limited in practice Wednesday. The safety has been cleared of the injury designation that forced him to miss consecutive weeks, and he is good to go for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys. His return means diminished opportunities for Fabian Moreau and Jay Ward, who shared snaps at slot cornerback in Jackson's absence.

Impact Jackson continues to work through a neck issue that has sidelined him for the Vikings' last two games. He would be on track to return against the Cowboys on Sunday if he were to practice in full over the next two days.

Impact Jackson missed last week's game with this neck injury despite practicing in a limited fashion.

Cleared to play Week 11 Jackson (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Chicago, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Jackson ended the week with back-to-back full practices, and his lack of an injury designation indicates that he has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash. He was unable to play against the Ravens in Week 10, so his return in Week 11 means less defensive snaps will be available in the secondary for Fabian Moreau, Jay Ward and Tavierre Thomas.

Impact Jackson was placed in concussion protocol following Sunday's Week 9 victory over the Lions. The 27-year-old logged a limited practice Thursday and full practice Friday looking for a chance to suit up for Sunday's game. If he is unable to play, another defensive back will have to take over the slot corner role.

The 27-year-old's practice participation throughout the week should provide the clearest indication of his availability for the Week 10 matchup against the Ravens, though he'll need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up.
