Before signing with the Rams, Jackson spent the first four seasons of his career in Detroit. The Lions selected Jackson with a third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and by his second season with the team, the offensive guard was voted to the Pro Bowl.

The Chicago Bears took their first step toward fixing the offensive line with the trade for Jonah Jackson, but there's still work to be done in 2025 free agency

The Chicago Bears are retooling their offensive line, making two trades in less than 24 hours acquiring two former Pro Bowl linemen. The first of the two trades saw Chicago send a sixth-round pick to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for offensive guard Jonah Jackson, a former Pro Bowl selection during his time with the Detroit Lions.
