Eddie Jackson ended Aaron Rodgers’ NFL record of consecutive pass attempts without an interception in the fourth quarter against the Green Bay Packers, but it ended up coming at a significant cost.

Jackson grabbed the deflected pass in the endzone and took off running, but as he tried to make a cut, his cleat was caught in the turf, and his ankle bent at a dangerous angle.

Matt Nagy said after the game it was a sprained right ankle, and Jackson was in a walking boot to support it.

The team doesn’t know how long the starter will be out, but they do know who will take his place.

“I feel like I’m ready,” Deon Bush told the Chicago Sun-Times. “This is my third year here. I practice every day. I get a lot of defensive reps in practice. We’ll see how everything goes. I’m ready.”

Bush filled in for Jackson for the final 11 snaps of their win over the Packers and recorded a single tackle, bringing his snap total on the year up to 42.

He has six career starts under his belt, all from his rookie season in 2016, but he earned a role as a third safety in the Bears’ goal line packages this year.

“Whole season I have been preparing,” Bush said. “When it is time out there, I gotta step up for the team. If it is my time to go up, I just gotta go up and hold down the fort for Eddie. I am most definitely confident.”

The transition from Jackson to Bush will inevitably bring a drop-off, but the Bears don’t need the backup to play like a Defensive Player of the Year candidate.

He just has to hold up in coverage and execute his assignments to hold steady while they wait for Eddie.
