CHICAGO (670 The Score) Bears star edge rusher Khalil Mack and safety Eddie Jackson are each active against the Saints on Sunday.
Mack (ankle) and Jackson (knee) both were dealing with injuries following a loss at the Los Angeles Rams last Monday and were listed as questionable for Sunday. However, neither was expected to be held out of action.
