10 future questions emerging for Chicago Bears after loss to Tampa Bay Buccaneers
After another loss and an 0-2 season, the Chicago Bears have so many questions to answer. It would be hard to limit it, so we have ten of the bigger questions facing the team right now. Where do they stand?
10. What is the status of Chicago Bears safety Eddie Jackson and his foot injury?
The Chicago Bears had issues in their secondary, but some of it was out of their control. They were already without Kyler Gordon, and then both Eddie Jackson and Jaquan Brisker left the game at times for various reasons. Brisker left early and came back. By the end, he played 41 snaps, and he will be back this week.
Eddie Jackson played just 17 snaps on Sunday and he was deemed out early on with a foot injury. Matt Eberflus has been positive, but he also said he was not sure this week.
#Bears coach Matt Eberflus says it's still positive in regard to foot injury for FS Eddie Jackson. "Not sure where it's going to trend this week."

Jackson left Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay in the 1st quarter.
With those two out, the team saw Elijah Hicks play 56 snaps, and Quindell Johnson also played 28 snaps. This week, it would be Hicks starting next to Jaquan Brisker. The thought is that if Jackson misses this week, he would be likely to play next week. So, this is not a long-term thing, but with the Chiefs coming into town, this could be a huge test for Elijah Hicks.
