Vikings' Theo Jackson: Limited participant Wednesday
Rotowire
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: Questionable with neck issue
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
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. With Jeff Okudah (concussion) out, Tavierre Thomas, Jay Ward and Dwight McGlothern are all potential candidates for the role.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
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.

Vikings' Theo Jackson: Re-signs with Minnesota

The Vikings re-signed Jackson (toe) on Wednesday.
Jackson was set to be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, but he quickly came to terms on a new deal with the Vikings to keep him in the fold for 2024. The 2022 sixth-round pick played in 15 games for Minnesota last season, logging 126 snaps on defense and another 260 on special teams and finishing with 21 tackles (14 solo) and one interception. He missed the final two games of 2023 with a toe injury, but the health concern doesn't look to be anything that will threaten his availability for training camp.
