Vikings' Theo Jackson: Active for Monday night
Jackson (quadriceps) is active for Monday's game against Buffalo, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Jackson did not practice on Thursday and Friday. While he practiced in a limited capacity Saturday, it still wasn't enough to avoid a questionable designation. However, Jackson has since been upgraded and is ready to go versus the Bills.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: Won't return vs. Detroit
Jackson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Lions.
Jackson sustained a quadriceps injury right before halftime, and medical staff have determined that he cannot return to Sunday's game. Harrison Smith should see more work on early downs in Jackson's stead.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: In and out of starting role in 2025
Jackson played 14 games (eight starts) in 2025, logging 47 tackles (including 2.0 sacks), one defensed pass, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Jackson didn't make any starts over 43 regular-season games across his first three NFL campaigns, but he started in each of Minnesota's first six contests last season. The Tennessee product saw a lessened role thereafter but still worked as a rotational defensive back most weeks and made two additional starts. Jackson tallied the first two sacks of his NFL career and posted a career-high 47 total tackles, though the midseason demotion doesn't bode well for his opportunities moving forward. Still, he's signed for another two years, so Jackson should play at least a rotational role for the Vikings again in 2026.

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

Vikings' Theo Jackson: Opens week as limited
Jackson (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
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. Jackson's return would lead to less defensive snaps being available for Fabian Moreau and Jay Ward.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: Ruled out with neck issue
Jackson (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Jackson was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday but ultimately will not be able to suit up for Sunday's contest. The starting slot cornerback will miss his second game of the season, and Fabian Moreau will likely get the start in his absence.

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.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: Won't play Week 13
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.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: Practices in full Wednesday
Jackson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
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.
