Jackson's status is up in the air for Sunday due to an ankle injury, and he'd be a big loss for them if he were unable to go. Another young, versatile safety in Deon Bush is waiting in the wings if that's the case.

All this being said, this is a very, very talented defense in Chicago. They're coached extremely well by Fangio. They stop the run well, they cover well, and they rush the passer well. The Eagles have to go into the Windy City and try to stick to the game plan, do what they do best and do what they feel most comfortable doing. It will be imperative to not get behind the chains against this group. Try to avoid as many third-and-longs as possible against Mack, Hicks, and that front. There are matchups to be won, but Nick Foles must have time to deliver down the field if they're going to move the football. The offensive line has to be up to the challenge if the Eagles want to advance to the next round of the playoffs.
