Full practice Thursday
Jackson (wrist) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was forced to miss the team's last two games prior to their bye week in Week 6 due to a wrist injury, which required surgery in late September. The offensive lineman opened the week as a limited participant, but he now appears to be a full go for Week 7. Jackson will be back in his starting role at left guard against the Eagles on Sunday.

Out for Week 5
Jackson (wrist) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Andrew Krammer of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2025 first-round pick from Ohio State is now in line to miss his second consecutive game after undergoing wrist surgery in late September. Although he's missing his second game in a row, Jackson is expected to reclaim his spot as the Vikings' top left guard following the team's Week 6 bye.
Sep 26, 2025
Won't face Pittsburgh
Jackson (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was the Vikings' first-round pick in the 2025 Draft and has started each of the first three games at left guard. Blake Brandel figures to draw into the starting lineup in place of Jackson.
Sep 22, 2025
Sidelined due to wrist issue
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters that Jackson underwent wrist surgery Monday and is expected to return after Minnesota's Week 6 bye, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2025 first-round pick from Ohio State sustained a wrist injury in the Vikings' Week 2 loss to the Falcons but managed to play through it in Week 3. The issue likely worsened during Sunday's win over the Bengals, and Joe Huber is expected to take over at left guard until Jackson returns to the field.

Adds help to Vikes' offensive line
The Vikings selected Jackson in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 24th overall.
ANALYSIS
Minnesota's flaws along the interior offensive line were firmly on display in their final two losses of the season, making guard a priority even with the team having the fewest picks in this year's class. Jackson provides immediate help in that area with 31 career starts at left guard for Ohio State. He also helped save the Buckeyes' season by kicking out to left tackle when Josh Simmons went down with a knee injury mid-year. That versatility is a nice bonus if injuries hit the Minnesota offensive line again, but Jackson (6-3, 315) is best suited to stick at left guard.
