Bears S Eddie Jackson (hamstring) and S Tashaun Gipson are active for today's game against the Lions. It'll be Jackson's 1st action since Week 8, a game he left after just 2 snaps with his injury. Gipson turned up as questionable but practiced in full all week. Jackson's return pushes S DeAndre Houston-Carson back to a reserve role.

The Bears have ruled DL Akiem Hicks (ankle) out for Thursday's game against the Lions. Both starting safeties are questionable. Eddie Jackson (hamstring) remained limited in practice this week after missing the past 2 games. Tashaun Gipson (chest) seems like a surprising inclusion, after the team listed him as a full participant in each practice. DeAndre Houston-Carson and Deon Bush stand by as potential replacements.

Bears DL Akiem Hicks (groin) and S Tashaun Gipson (hip) are active for today's game against the 49ers. The defense will be missing star pass rusher Khalil Mack, though.
