Vikings' Theo Jackson: Limited participant Wednesday
Jackson (neck) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice,
Jackson missed last week's game with this neck injury despite practicing in a limited fashion. Thus, there's a good chance he carries a questionable tag into the weekend if he doesn't upgrade to full participation by Friday. Jackson is the team's starting slot cornerback, and he has posted 39 tackles (17 solo) and a pass breakup through 10 games.

Jackson (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Jackson was able to play through a neck injury in Weeks 11 and 12, but the fourth-year safety has not been cleared to play in Sunday's road game. Tavierre Thomas and Fabian Moreau are the top candidates to see more snaps at the slot corner position in Jackson's absence.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: Questionable with neck issue
Jackson (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Jackson has played the last two games after being sidelined with a concussion in Week 10, and it is unclear if the neck issue is severe enough to threaten his ability to suit up against the Seahawks. If a week of limited practices is not enough for the 27-year-old to get the green light, Fabian Moreau or Tavierre Thomas would likely take over at slot cornerback in his absence.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: 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.
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.

Jackson was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Vikings' Week 10 loss to the Ravens. His ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he is progressing through the five-step protocol, but he'll need to be evaluated by an independent neurologist before being cleared to play against the Bears on Sunday.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: Questionable for Sunday
Jackson (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
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.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: 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 reports.
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.

A sixth-round pick by the Titans back in 2022, Jackson has flourished in Minnesota of late.

Jackson recorded four total tackles (two solo) and one interception in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Seahawks.
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.
