Bears DB goes on IR

The Chicago Bears placed safety Eddie Jackson on injured reserve Tuesday because of a foot injury that could keep him out for the remainder of the season. Jackson’s injury combined with Jaquan Brisker’s concussion and a hamstring injury to Dane Cruikshank left the Bears playing their only two remaining safeties — DeAndre Houston-Carson and rookie seventh-round pick Elijah Hicks. The Bears (3-9) are last in the NFC North with five games remaining. They’ve dropped five in a row. Leading receiver Darnell Mooney suffered a season-ending ankle injury that Coach Matt Eberflus said Monday requires surgery. The Bears placed him on IR on Tuesday and signed practice squad defensive back A.J. Thomas to the active roster.
