Chicago Bears safety Eddie Jackson received positive news regarding his foot injury after visiting foot specialist Robert Anderson in Green Bay. Anderson determined that Jackson will not need surgery, providing a sigh of relief for the Bears and their fans.

Jackson initially sustained the injury during the second half of Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the severity of the injury, Jackson initially believed it was not serious. However, after further evaluation, it was revealed that Jackson likely suffered a significant Lisfranc injury.

Jackson is still seeking additional opinions on his injury, but the news that he will not require surgery is a positive development. The Bears are hopeful that Jackson will be able to return to action at some point during the season, although a timeline for his recovery has not yet been established.
