INJURIES
Questionable for Sunday Jackson (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
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. With Jeff Okudah (concussion) out, Tavierre Thomas, Jay Ward, and Dwight McGlothern are all candidates for the role.

Logs limited practice Thursday Jackson (concussion) returned to practice in a limited capacity Thursday.
Impact Jackson landed in concussion protocol following Sunday's Week 9 victory over the Lions. He didn't practice at all Wednesday but was able to log a limited session Thursday. Jackson will need to clear concussion protocol to have any chance of suiting up this Sunday versus the Ravens.
NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Misses practice with concussion Jackson (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Impact Jackson sustained a concussion during Sunday's game at Detroit, and now his status for Week 10 is in jeopardy. He'll likely need to practice Thursday or Friday in addition to clearing concussion protocol by Sunday to have a chance to play versus the Ravens.

In concussion protocol Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that Jackson is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune rep...
Impact Jackson played just 25 total snaps (15 on defense, 10 on special teams) before exiting Sunday's win, recording two total tackles. 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.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Limited at practice Jackson (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Impact Jackson appears to have picked up an apparent hip injury in the team's 22-6 loss to Atlanta in Week 2. His ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a positive sign, and he'll look to log a full practice session prior to Sunday's contest versus the Bengals.

Nine tackles in loss Jackson recorded nine tackles (five solo) and one fumble recovery in the Vikings' loss to the Falcons on Sunday night.
Impact Harrison Smith (illness) missed his second straight game to open the season, so Jackson made another start next to Josh Metellus on the back end of the Minnesota defense. After two games, Jackson has logged 13 tackles (eight solo) and one fumble recovery on 97 percent of the defensive snaps.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact With Harrison Smith (foot) sidelined for the Vikings' Week 16 contest, Jackson stepped in and served as the Vikings' top free safety Sunday. The Tennessee product came up with a clutch interception late in the fourth quarter, sealing Minnesota's 13th win of the season.
