All-Pro safety Eddie Jackson is active Sunday for the Chicago Bears' wild-card game versus the Philadelphia Eagles, while tight end Trey Burton was scratched from the lineup after injuring his groin Saturday, the team announced.

Jackson missed the final two games of the regular season due to an ankle injury and was a game-time decision for the playoff contest. He had six interceptions in 14 outings this season, tied for third-most in the NFL.

Burton saw the fourth-most targets among Bears pass-catchers during the season, registering 54 receptions for 569 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games.
