News

  • Released by Pittsburgh

    The Steelers released Jackson (back) on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was traded by Washington to Pittsburgh during the 2022 campaign, but he didn't make any appearances for the Steelers and ended the season on IR with a back injury. The 2016 first-round pick has appeared in 75 career games and totaled 51 pass defenses and five interceptions, so he should garner some attention as a free agent this summer.

  • Designated to return

    The Steelers designated Jackson (back) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, per the team's official site.

    Analysis: Jackson, who's been on injured reserve with a nagging back issue since Nov. 12, returned to practice Wednesday, ultimately opening the 21-day window for the Steelers to activate him to the active roster. The 30-year-old was acquired by Pittsburgh via a trade with Washington prior to the team's Week 9 bye, but he has yet to make his Steelers' debut.

  • Goes to IR with back injury

    Pittsburgh placed Jackson (back) on its injured reserve list Saturday.

    Analysis: After missing the last three games with a lingering back injury, Jackson will ultimately be forced to miss at least four more games as he recovers. With Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring) also out for Week 10, James Pierre will once again be in line for increased reps on the boundaries.

  • Won't play against Saints

    Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Although Jackson was able to rest during the Steelers' Week 9 bye after being traded from Washington to Pittsburgh at the beginning of November, he'll be forced to miss a fourth consecutive game due to his back injury. His next chance to make his team debut will be Nov. 20 against the Bengals.

  • Still dealing with back issue

    Jackson (back) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson, who's missed three straight games due to a back injury, was traded by the Commanders to the Steelers during Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye. It's concerning that the cornerback isn't available to practice with his new squad Wednesday, but he'll have two more opportunities to participate before the team needs to make a decision on Jackson's status for Sunday's matchup against New Orleans.

  • Traded to Pittsburgh

    Washington traded Jackson (back) and a 2025 conditional seventh-round pick to Pittsburgh on Tuesday in exchange for a 2025 conditional sixth-round pick, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Jackson missed three straight games due to a back injury and will now join a new team ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. It's unclear if the cornerback will be able to make his Steelers debut against the Saints on Sunday, but when available, he figures to compete for a depth role behind Ahkello Witherspoon and Cameron Sutton.

  • Remains out for Week 8

    Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Jackson will miss a third straight game due to a back injury he picked up during Washington's Week 5 loss to Tennessee. In his absence, Rachad Wildgoose figures to continue seeing increased snaps in the Commanders secondary.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Jackson continues to deal with a back injury and will be sidelined for a second consecutive game. Rachad Wildgoose should continue to see additional playing time for the Commanders in Week 7.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Jackson (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was sidelined for the team's Week 6 win over Chicago due to a back injury that he suffered in Week 5. It was presumably an aggravation of the issue that caused him to miss Week 3 as well. Given that it appears to be a reoccurring thing, Washington may elect to keep him out for a second consecutive contest. However, he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bears, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Jackson missed the team's Week 3 contest against the Eagles due to a back injury, but he was able to return the following week and suited up for back-to-back contests. However, he played a season-low 14 defensive snaps in Week 5 and was limited Tuesday due to a back injury after being a full participant during Monday's walkthrough. The extent of the situation remains unclear, but given it appears to be a reoccurring thing, the Commanders have opted to proceed with caution and ruled Jackson out…read more

  • Logs full practice Wednesday

    Jackson (back) was listed as a full participant on the Commanders' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson popped up late on Washington's game status report and was ultimately ruled inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles. However, the sixth-year cornerback seems to have gotten over his apparent back issue, given his return during the first practice of Week 4. Jackson recorded 11 tackles and one pass defended over the first two weeks, and he'll reprise his starting role opposite Kendall Fuller moving forward.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Jackson (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Jackson landed on the team's injury report Saturday with a back issue and ultimately won't suit up in Week 3. Through the first two games of the season, the free-agent signee has operated as the starting cornerback opposite of Kendall Fuller, so in his absence, rookies Christian Holmes and Tariq Castro-Fields may be thrust into expanded roles against Philadelphia.

  • Appears on game status report

    Jackson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Philadelphia, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear when Jackson picked up the injury or how serious it is, pending further updates from the team. If for some reason he can't play Sunday, rookies Tariq Castro-Fields and Christian Holmes could be in line to see their first defensive snaps in the NFL.

  • Activated from COVID list

    Jackson (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Jackson has recovered from the calf injury and missed the final game of the season after testing positive for COVID-19 last week. The 29-year-old inked a three-year, $40.5 million deal with Washington last March and totaled 39 tackles (36 solo) and two interceptions in 12 games.

  • Clear of calf issue

    Jackson (illness) said Monday he's fully recovered from the calf injury and would have played in Sunday's season finale if he hadn't landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson tested positive for the virus last week and remains on the COVID list after missing Sunday's win over the Giants. The 29-year-old appeared in 12 games during his first season in Washington and totaled 39 tackles (36 solo) and two interceptions.

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    Washington placed Jackson (calf/illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson missed the last two games due to a calf injury, and he'll now be forced to isolate from the team. Per Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston, every player that landed on the COVID-19 list Wednesday tested positive for the virus, so his status for Sunday's matchup against the Giants remains up in the air.

  • Ruled out for Week 17

    Jackson (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Eagles, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson missed the team's Week 16 loss to the Cowboys and missed the first two practices ahead of Week 17, so it's no surprise to see him ruled out for a second straight game. With Darryl Roberts possibily sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols, Danny Johnson is expected to step into a starting role.

  • Absent from practice

    Jackson (calf) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was absent from practice for a second straight day after he missed Sunday's loss to Dallas. It appears as though he's trending toward a second straight absence Sunday against the Eagles, but he could have a chance to return if he practices in some capacity Friday.

  • Out Week 16

    Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: According to Matthew Paras of The Washington Times, coach Ron Rivera said Jackson could be sidelined beyond this weekend, so the cornerback's availability for Week 17 is also in question. Darryl Roberts and Danny Johnson should see more playing time in his absence.

  • Suffers ankle injury

    Jackson sustained an ankle injury and won't return to Tuesday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Jackson was initially labeled questionable to return after suffering the injury before ultimately being ruled out. It's a big loss for Washington as he is the team's top cornerback, especially since the team is already so short-handed.

  • Practices in full Wednesday

    Jackson (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Jackson hasn't played since Week 6 against the Chiefs, and it appears the Week 9 bye was what Jackson needed to get to full health. He'll likely return to his starting role in the secondary in Week 10 against Tampa Bay.

  • Inactive for Week 8

    Jackson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Jackson was limited throughout practices leading up to Washington's Week 8 matchup against the Broncos, but he will be sidelined for his second straight contest. In his absence, Benjamin St-Juste will likely step into the starting role Sunday, while Danny Johnson operates as the nickel corner.

  • Game-time call Sunday

    Jackson (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, is viewed as a game-time decision ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Washington's top cornerback sat out the Football Team's Week 7 loss to the Packers, but he appears to have more hope of playing this week after practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday. Even if he's cleared to play at less than 100 percent health, Jackson's presence would be a welcome one for a porous Washington pass defense as it looks to slow down a slew of talented Denver pass catchers such as Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick and Noah Fant.

  • Questionable for Week 8

    Jackson (knee) is considered questionable for Washington's Week 8 contest with the Broncos, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson came into Week 7 with a questionable status due to a knee injury, but he ended up playing and ultimately getting sidelined after further aggravating the issue. If the cornerback is unable to suit up against Denver, expect Benjamin St-Juste to start at cornerback opposite Kendall Fuller.

  • Sidelined vs. Packers

    Jackson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: After downgrading from limited participation in Thursday's practice to no activity Friday, Jackson looked to be trending toward an absence Week 7, despite taking a questionable designation into the contest. As expected, Jackson will officially sit out Sunday, depriving Washington of its top cornerback against the Packers and Davante Adams. Even before the knee injury surfaced, Jackson hadn't been living up to his big-money contract; as Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports Washington notes, Jackson…read more

  • Looking unlikely for Week 7

    Jackson, who is listed as questionable with a knee injury for Sunday's contest against the Packers, is viewed as a pregame decision for the game, but Washington doesn't appear optimistic the cornerback will play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jackson has been a major disappointment in his first year in Washington after inking a three-year, $40.5 million contract in the offseason. As Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports Washington notes, Pro Football Focus ranks Jackson as the No. 108 cornerback out of 118, with the 28-year-old's struggles in coverage having a hand in the Football Team entering Week 7 with the NFL's worst-ranked pass defense (309.5 yards per game allowed). If Williams is inactive ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, rookie…read more

  • Back to full health

    Jackson (quadriceps) practiced in pads Sunday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Jackson missed practice Friday but was back out there two days later. He's working with the starters in practice and could make his debut with Washington in Thursday's preseason opener.

  • Nursing thigh bruise

    Jackson was absent from Friday's practice due to a thigh bruise, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Ron Rivera described Jackson's injury as a "Charlie horse," which indicates it is likely a short-term issue. Expect the team to err on the side off caution and not rush him back until he is ready. The 28-year-old is expected to start opposite Kendall Fuller at cornerback this season.

  • Lands deal with Washington

    Jackson has signed a three-year, $42 million deal with the Washington Football Team, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jackson spent the first four seasons of his career in Cincinnati and proved to be a strong outside corner, leading to this lucrative contract. He heads to Washington with three career interceptions and 41 passes defended across 59 games. Jackson will pair up with Kendall Fuller to make a strong cornerback duo in Washington's secondary for the foreseeable future.

  • Out Week 17

    Jackson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old suffered the concussion during last week's game against the Texans and won't be available for the season finale. Jackson finishes the 2020 campaign with 45 tackles (39 solo), 11 passes defensed and one interception in 14 games, and he's poised to hit free agency in the offseason.

  • Concussion confirmed

    Jackson has a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game at Houston, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old exited late in the second quarter and won't be retaking the field. Jackson will need to clear the concussion protocol to have a chance of suiting up in next week's season finale. LeShaun Sims should see increased work in the secondary for Cincinnati.

  • Getting checked for concussion

    Jackson is being evaluated by trainers for a potential concussion.

    Analysis: Jackson left the field at the 3:01 mark of the second quarter, and it remains to be seen if Cincinnati will have to proceed without one of its top corners for the remainder of a Week 16 matchup against the Texans. The 28-year-old has missed just one game all season. If he proves unable to return to Sunday's contest, LeShaun Sims may have to become more involved for the Bengals secondary.

  • Full go Thursday

    Jackson (concussion) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson's full participation indicates that he was able to clear the league's concussion protocol and should be on track to suit up Sunday against the Titans.

  • Limited at Wednesday's practice

    Jackson (concussion) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson missed Week 7 due to a concussion, but he appears to be progressing toward his return. The 28-year-old will need to fully clear the concussion protocol before being cleared for game action.

  • Won't face Browns

    Jackson (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's divisional contest against the Browns, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson will need to fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before taking the field, until which time LeShaun Sims or Darius Phillips (illness) will likely draw the start at cornerback. The fifth-year pro normally handles an every-down role in Cincinnati's secondary, making him a difficult player to replace.

  • Enters concussion protocol

    Jackson (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson appears to have suffered a concussion during this past Sunday's loss to the Colts, and he'll need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he can play in a game. The fifth-year cornerback has played nearly every defensive snap this year and performed quite well in the process, allowing an 81.4 passer rating and just 5.9 yards per target. If he's unable to get healthy in time for Sunday's game, either LeShaun Sims or Darius Phillips (illness) likely will bump into the starting role.

  • Manages full recovery

    Jackson (shoulder) announced Thursday that he's back to full health, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Jackson clarified that he spent the entire 2019 campaign playing through a torn labrum in his shoulder. Despite managing a significant injury, he managed to suit up for 14 contests and record 37 total tackles, three defended passes and a lone interception. Heading into the final year of his rookie contract, Jackson also said that he would "love to come back" to Cincinnati in 2021, per Wilson.

  • Officially placed on IR

    The Bengals placed Jackson (shoulder) on injured reserve Friday.

    Analysis: Jackson's placement on IR was expected after he was initially ruled out for Week 17. The 2016 first-round pick recorded 37 tackles (26 solo), three defended passes and one interception across 14 contests in 2019.

  • Won't face Browns

    Jackson (shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Browns, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jackson will likely be placed on injured reserve prior to Sunday's season finale. With the fourth-year pro sidelined, B.W. Webb is a candidate to play an expanded role on defense Week 17.

  • Sustains injury Sunday

    Jackson won't return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins after suffering a right shoulder injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson is an every-snap cornerback, so the Bengals may struggle to fill the void. The 2016 first-round pick has accrued 35 tackles, three pass breakups and an interception this year. B.W. Webb and Greg Mabin should be the main beneficiaries of Jackson's absence.

  • Piles up 10 stops

    Jackson posted 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 22-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: It was a busy day for the fourth-year cornerback, bringing his tackle total to 31 on the season. Jackson has made improvements in coverage this season with 8.2 yards per target allowed and just one touchdown -- he yielded seven last year. He'll look to slow down the Browns' passing game in Week 14.
