News

  • Going to Pittsburgh in trade

    The Steelers are set to acquire Jackson from the Panthers in the Diontae Johnson trade, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was on his way out of Carolina one way or another due to an elevated cap number. In Pittsburgh, he gives the Steelers an experienced corner to pair with 2023 second-rounder Joey Porter. The 55th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, Jackson started 76 games across six seasons for the Panthers, picking off 14 passes.

    Published: Tue, Mar 12 at 4:31pm by Rotowire.com

  • Likely done in Carolina

    Jackson is expected to be released or traded by the Panthers before March 16, when he is due a $4 million roster bonus, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson played 16 games last year in his sixth season with Carolina, but it appears the veteran corner will not spend his seventh NFL campaign with the franchise. He ended 2023 with 59 combined tackles, five passes defended and no interceptions. His release would save the team $5.9 million in cap space this offseason.

  • Ends season without interception

    Jackson finished the regular season with 59 tackles (49 solo), zero interceptions on five passes defended and one fumble forced in 16 games.

    Analysis: Jackson returned from last season's Achilles tear to play the most games since his 2018 rookie year. However, for the first time in his career, Jackson failed to intercept a pass. With the Panthers having a potential out from his contract, it remains to be seen whether a new front office will elect to bring Jackson back for the 2024 campaign.

  • Not on Week 16 injury report

    Jackson (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Jackson's name was removed from the injury report entirely, suggesting he's good to go for Sunday's game. He left Carolina's previous game due to a back injury but is expected to handle his usual starting cornerback role against the Packers.

  • Still tending to injury

    Jackson (back) did not practice Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Falcons and was unable to return to the game. He'll work to get back on the field Thursday, as the Panthers prep for Sunday's game against the Packers. If he's ultimately unable to play, CJ Henderson and Jeremy Chinn would be candidates to slide in for him opposite Jaycee Horn at cornerback.

  • Questionable to return Sunday

    Jackson (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson exited the game after a hit on wide receiver Drake London. Jeremy Chinn and CJ Henderson will pick up the snaps on defense in Jackson's absence.

  • Active Sunday

    Jackson (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson practiced all week before appearing on the injury report after Friday's session. The starting left cornerback has 20 tackles and a forced fumble in six games this season.

    Published: Sun, Nov 5 at 11:54am by Rotowire.com

  • Questionable with quad injury

    Jackson (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Jackson practiced without limitations in all three of Carolina's practices during the week, but he was added to the injury report after Friday's practice. It's possible that he picked up the quadriceps injury late in practice Friday, and the starting cornerback's availability likely won't be updated until the Panthers release their inactives list 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Resumes practicing in full

    Jackson (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson missed Week 5 after being forced out early Week 4 versus the Vikings, but he now looks back to full health. Having the starting cornerback back at full strength will be a notable boon for Carolina's secondary, which faces the difficult task of containing the Dolphins' offense on Sunday.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Jackson (shoulder) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.

    Analysis: Jackson was able to log a full practice Friday, but the veteran corner still isn't quite game-ready. In his absence, D'Shawn Jamison should get the start opposite CJ Henderson against the Lions.

    Published: Sun, Oct 8 at 8:47am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Officially questionable for Sunday

    Jackson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Detroit, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was a full participant at practice Friday, so he seems to at least be on the right end of the questionable designation. If he does sit out, D'Shawn Jamison will probably see an expanded role.

    Published: Fri, Oct 6 at 11:11am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Limited at practice with shoulder

    Jackson (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: It looks like Jackson is still being bothered by the shoulder issue that forced him out of Sunday's 21-13 loss versus Minnesota early. He'll likely need to log a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

    Published: Wed, Oct 4 at 2:12pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Exits early

    Jackson has left Sunday's game against the Vikings with a shoulder injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson is considered questionable to return. While he is out, D'Shawn Jamison has taken over at corner, opposite CJ Henderson.

  • Trending up for Week 1

    Jackson (ankle) was not on Carolina's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 clash against the Falcons.

    Analysis: As expected, Jackson is set to start Sunday despite having to sit out of the Panthers' preseason finale as he dealt with an ankle ailment. He's not known for putting up huge stats and is therefore not an elite play at IDP, but he provides consistent play at corner opposite Jaycee Horn.

    Published: Wed, Sep 6 at 2:26pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Expected back for Week 1

    Coach Frank Reich said Jackson (ankle) should be ready to play Week 1 against the Falcons, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was injured in the Panthers' second preseason game and won't play in the exhibition finale, but it sounds like there isn't much concern about his availability for the season opener. Jackson is expected to open the year as the starting cornerback opposite Jaycee Horn.

    Published: Tue, Aug 22 at 10:48am by Rotowire.com

  • Injures ankle

    Jackson injured his ankle in Friday's 21-19 exhibition loss to the Giants, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Jackson's injury is not known at this time. He was playing in his first game since Week 10 of the 2022 campaign, when he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. When healthy, he is expected to start at outside cornerback opposite Jaycee Horn.

  • Increasing workload

    Jackson (Achilles) participated in training camp practice Thursday, Augusta Stone and Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson has been working his way back from an Achilles injury that he suffered in Week 10 against the Falcons. He was present at OTAs in June, but this was the first time he's taken the field as he worked with 2021 first-round pick Jaycee Horn. Jackson started at cornerback opposite Horn last season and should reclaim that role once he's fully healthy.

    Published: Fri, Jul 28 at 10:23am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Not practicing yet

    Jackson (Achilles) should be ready for the start of training camp, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was placed on injured reserve in November after he tore his Achilles tendon in Week 10 against the Falcons. The 27-year-old has been present at OTAs but has yet to participate as he continues to rehab from his injury. Last season, Jackson started at cornerback opposite 2021 first-round pick Jaycee Horn (ankle) and he should reclaim a key role in the Panthers' secondary once he's fully up to speed.

    Published: Tue, Jun 13 at 12:25pm by Rotowire.com

  • Unavailable to start OTAs

    Jackson (Achilles) was present Tuesday but didn't participate in the first day of Carolina's OTAs, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: This isn't surprising, as Jackson is still recovering from a torn Achilles he suffered last November, and it remains unclear when he'll be able to play again. The Panthers reworked Jackson's contract this offseason to create some cap savings, and whenever he's cleared, he figures to compete for the starting cornerback job opposite Jaycee Horn.

    Published: Tue, May 23 at 8:54am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Adjusts contract

    Jackson (Achilles) restructured his contract with the Panthers on Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in November, and although he could be ready for the start of the season, he'll do so with a reworked contract. The cap savings this will create for Carolina is not yet clear, but Jackson was set for a $13.5 million cap hit in 2023, and part of the restructured deal will result in him getting a $4 million roster bonus, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. When healthy, Jackson should be one of the team's starting corners opposite Jaycee Horn.

  • Moved to injured reserve

    Jackson (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

    Analysis: This move was merely a formality after Jackson tore his Achilles in Thursday's win over the Falcons. Jackson will miss the remainder of the season due to this injury.

    Published: Mon, Nov 14 at 12:44pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Suffers Achilles tear

    Jackson will miss the rest of the 2022 season after being diagnosed Friday with a torn Achilles' tendon, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old was injured in the fourth quarter of a 25-15 win over the Falcons on Thursday. His absence for the rest of the season likely pushes CJ Henderson and Keith Taylor into larger roles alongside 2021 first-round pick Jaycee Horn. Jackson will spend the rest of the season focusing on rehab as he enters the second season of a three-year, $35 million contract in 2023.

    Published: Fri, Nov 11 at 2:04pm by Rotowire.com

  • Slated for MRI on Friday

    Jackson is in line to undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of the Achilles injury he suffered during Thursday's win over the Falcons, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson departed Thursday's contest versus Atlanta due to an apparent Achilles injury, and he ultimately failed to return. The 27-year-old will undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of the issue, though coach Steve Wilks didn't speculate on whether it'll be a season-ending injury for Jackson, per Newton. If the fifth-year pro misses time, then Jaycee Horn, CJ Henderson and Keith Taylor would be the expected beneficiaries for more cornerback snaps.

  • Questionable to return Thursday

    Jackson (Achilles) is questionable to return to Thursday's contest against the Falcons, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

  • Good to go Thursday

    Jackson (ankle) is active for Thursday night's game against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson missed Carolina's Week 9 matchup versus Cincinnati due to an ankle issue, but he's since logged full activity levels in each of the team's practices leading up to Thursday's contest against Atlanta. The 27-year-old is in line to operate as the Panthers' No. 1 cornerback opposite of Jaycee Horn.

  • Officially questionable for TNF

    Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's primetime matchup against Atlanta, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was a full participant during each practice ahead of Thursday's matchup but is officially listed as questionable due to an ankle injury. Interim head coach Steve Wilks said Wednesday that the cornerback should be good to go, so barring a setback, Jackson will likely return to action in Week 10 after not seeing the field against Cincinnati.

  • Should be ready to play

    Jackson (ankle) should be fine for Thursday, according to head coach Steve Wilks, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Jackson came into Sunday's loss to the Bengals as questionable but despite being active for the contest, he didn't play any snaps, The veteran corner has been listed as a full participant in practice each of the last two days, and he should be able to get on the field Thursday against the Falcons.

    Jackson (ankle) is active Sunday against the Bengals, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was able to log a limited practice Friday, and he also tested his ankle out in pregame warmups. His ability to take the field Sunday will be a boost to the team's secondary.

  • Limited practice Friday

    Jackson (ankle) logged a limited practice Friday.

    Analysis: Jackson made his first appearance of the week at practice Friday, participating in a limited capacity while still nursing the ankle injury he suffered in Week 7 against the Buccaneers. His return to practice is a step in the right direction, but he's still considered questionable to play Sunday versus the Bengals. If Jackson can't go, CJ Henderson and Keith Taylor will operate in more significant roles.

  • Misses second straight practice

    Jackson (ankle) was listed as a DNP on the Panthers' injury report Thursday.

    Analysis: Jackson did not practice for the second day in a row due to an ankle injury that has hampered his availability over the past three weeks. The cornerback played 94 percent of Carolina's defensive snaps against Tampa Bay in Week 7, but he was carted off late and did not return during Sunday's loss to Atlanta, according to Darrin Gantt of the Panthers' official site. Jackson has recorded 32 tackles and two interceptions in 2022, though he may be in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season…read more

  • Cleared to play Week 7

    Jackson (ankle) is active for Sunday's clash against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Jackson aggravated an ankle injury last Sunday against the Rams, but he was able to practice in full Friday and will be able to take the field against Tampa Bay in Week 7. The veteran linebacker has tallied 18 tackles this season and also returned an interception for a touchdown before exiting last week against Los Angeles.

  • Expected to play Week 7

    Jackson (ankle) is expected to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jackson practiced in full Friday but is nonetheless considered questionable for Week 7, while Jaycee Horn (ribs) is a game-time decision. The Panthers will hope to have both top cornerbacks available for the difficult task of containing Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

  • Logs full practice Friday

    Jackson (ankle) was a full participant at practice Friday.

    Analysis: Jackson is considered questionable to play Sunday against the Buccaneers after suffering a groin injury in Week 6, but Friday's full participation at practice bodes well for his chances to play. More clarity surrounding his status will likely be provided early Sunday. If he's unable to go, Keith Taylor could step into a larger role in the contest.

  • Remains sidelined Thursday

    Jackson (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on the Panthers' injury report Thursday.

    Analysis: Jackson did not practice for the second day in a row after he appeared to aggravate an existing groin injury in Sunday's loss to the Rams. The cornerback first popped up on the injury report last Thursday, leaving the 180-pound cornerback sidelined in practice Friday. While Jackson could still suit up without practicing before this Sunday's contest versus Tampa Bay, it will be worth monitoring if he can increase his practice activity before this Week 7 tilt.

  • Back at practice Thursday

    Jackson (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson exited and did not return after suffering an ankle injury during Carolina's Week 6 loss to the Rams, leaving him sidelined in practice Wednesday. However, 27-year-old took a step forward Thursday and should have a chance to play this Sunday versus Tampa Bay. Jackson has recorded 18 tackles and an interception so far this season, and he played a season-high 97 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps in Week 5. The starting cornerback could again see heavy usage if Jaycee Horn (ribs)…read more

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Jackson (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson was forced to leave Carolina's Week 6 loss to the Rams due to an ankle injury and will remain sidelined to start Week 7 prep. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

  • Exits with injury

    Jackson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was unable to practice Friday with an ankle injury that first arose Thursday, though he was still ruled active ahead of this contest. The 26-year-old intercepted a pass for a defensive touchdown and recorded two tackles before exiting, and his absence will leave Carolina significantly under-manned with fellow starting cornerback Jaycee Horn (ribs) already inactive.

  • Will play Sunday

    Analysis: Jackson popped up on the injury report Thursday with an ankle issue, and he failed to practice Friday.

  • Not listed on injury report

    Jackson isn't listed on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson saw a season-low 26 snaps in Week 3 due to a neck injury, but it didn't knock him out of the game completely. Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Monday that Jackson would be fine, but it's reassuring to see him not listed on the injury report ahead of Week 4.

  • Avoids serious injury

    Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Monday that Jackson, who missed time during Sunday's win over the Saints with a neck issue, should be good to go heading into Week 4, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson saw a season-low 26 snaps Sunday due to the neck issue, but it didn't knock him out of the game completely. Rhule's comments are certainly encouraging, but Jackson's participation at practice will likely give a better indication of his status heading into Week 4.

  • Ready to go Sunday

    Jackson (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was able to log a full practice Friday setting him up to be available on gameday. He should resume his role of starting cornerback opposite Jaycee Horn when he takes the field Sunday.

  • Listed as questionable

    Jackson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Saints.

    Analysis: Jackson was a full participant Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday, but he's still questionable for Week 3. The starting cornerback left last Sunday's loss to the Giants early and was unable to return, but the MRI on Monday appears to have been clear. Regardless, Carolina will continue to take a cautious approach and see how he responds to Friday's full practice. If he's eventually ruled out, Myles Hartsfield and CJ Henderson would be candidates for increased roles.

    Jackson (hamstring) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson left Sunday's loss to the Giants early and was unable to return. He underwent an MRI on Monday which seems to not have turned up much, as he at least practiced in some fashion Wednesday. Jackson will continue to work to be ready Sunday against the Saints; however, if he is unable to go, Myles Hartsfield and CJ Henderson will likely be asked to step up.

  • Hopes to play Sunday

    Jackson (hamstring) said Monday that he hopes to play in the Panthers' Week 3 matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Ellis L. Williams of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Jackson exited Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Giants due to a hamstring issue and underwent an MRI afterward, but his examination apparently didn't reveal anything too concerning since he's considered day-to-day. The 2018 second-rounder expects to receive treatment all week, but it's possible he won't miss any games due to the injury.

  • Set for MRI

    Coach Matt Rhule said Monday that Jackson will require an MRI on his hamstring, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was forced out of Carolina's Week 2 loss at the Giants early with the injury, and now an MRI will determine its precise severity. The 26-year-old corner missed five games last season, and should he be sidelined for extended time again, Myles Hartsfield and CJ Henderson would be asked to step up in the defensive backfield.

    Jackson (hamstring) was downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Giants, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson appears to have suffered a substantial hamstring injury that kept him from making his way back into Carolina's Week 2 contest. While the severity of this issue still is unclear, the fifth-year cornerback will have a full week of practice to regain his health heading into the Panthers' next game against the Saints on Sept. 25.

  • Remains in Carolina

    Jackson agreed to a three-year, $35 million contract with the Panthers on Saturday.

    Analysis: Jackson, a 2018 second-round pick, has been a key piece of Carolina's secondary over the past four years, and he totaled 61 tackles, 10 pass breakups, two interceptions and one forced fumble in 12 games during 2021. He missed the final five games of the season after undergoing groin surgery in November, but it appears he's now healthy since the procedure carried an initial recovery timeline of six weeks.

  • Recovering from surgery

    Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Wednesday that Jackson underwent groin surgery after being placed on injured reserve Nov. 30, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson suffered the groin injury Week 12 and finished the season with 61 tackles, 10 pass breakups and two interceptions across his 12 appearances. Rhule mentioned that the recovery period for the cornerback's procedure was estimated at six weeks, so the cornerback should be close to full strength at this point. Even so, with the Panthers eliminated from playoff contention, Jackson won't be a candidate to return from IR ahead of Sunday's season finale in Tampa Bay.

  • Done for the season

    The Panthers moved Jackson (groin) to injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson suffered a groin injury during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, and an MRI undergone Monday revealed the extent of the issue. The starting cornerback, who has two interceptions through 12 appearances this season, will thus turn his attention toward getting fully healthy for 2022. This offseason, Jackson is set to become an unrestricted free agent.

    Jackson finished with 11 tackles (10 solo) and defended a pass in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Jackson's issues in coverage again resulted in him racking up the tackles, as he's now made 20 over the past two weeks. The veteran has also defended a pass in three straight games, giving him 10 on the season, but he'll strive to shore up his coverage when the Panthers return from their bye.

    Jackson finished with eight tackles (six solo) and defended a pass in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Jackson placed second on the Panthers in stops, but that partially came because of his struggles in coverage and subsequent need to tackle after allowing receptions. Although Jackson did break one pass up, he'll strive for an improved showing in Week 12 versus the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Jackson aggravated a previous toe injury in last week's loss to Tampa Bay, and considering he's been bothered by the injury for most of the season, it's possible the team will opt to give the cornerback some time to get healthier before he steps back on the field.

    Jackson finished the 2019 season with 40 tackles (32 solo), three interceptions (on eight passes defended) and one fumble recovery in 13 games played.

    Analysis: Jackson, Carolina's second-round choice in 2018, saw declines from his 74 tackles and four picks as a rookie. While missing three games with a groin injury contributed toward that, so did Jackson's benching late in the season after surrendering too many big plays. The speedster will aim for more consistency in 2020 and could very well regain his starting position, but the Panthers will be eager to re-sign top corner James Bradberry to avoid overexposing the mercurial Jackson.
