News

  • Bad outing in loss

    Jackson did not record a tackle, but he did register three pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 36-34 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Jackson only played 44 defensive snaps, fewest among the Chargers' starting trio of corners. Daniel Popper of The Athletic reported Jackson had been removed from the game late in the fourth quarter and the assumption was that it was due to some sort of injury. Instead, it seems as if Jackson was effectively benched for Ja'Sir Taylor, although Wednesday's injury report could be telling. Jackson ruptured his patellar tendon back in Week 7 of 2022, and his performance in Week 1 certainly seemed…read more

  • Available for Week 1

    Jackson wasn't listed on the Chargers' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson was managing knee soreness during training camp as he was in the final stages of rehabbing from a ruptured patellar tendon suffered in Week 7 last season. He's seemingly past that injury and will start at corner opposite Asante Samuel for Week 1 against the Dolphins.

  • Practicing again

    Jackson (knee) returned to practice Monday, Elliot Teaford of the Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Jackson sat out practices Saturday and Sunday, but the Maryland product is good to go now. According to head coach Brandon Staley, the team is "phasing him back in with the recommendations from the medical staff," as Jackson continues his path to a full recovery after rupturing his patellar tendon last October.

  • Dealing with knee soreness

    Jackson exited practice early on Friday due to knee soreness, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson is returning from a ruptured patellar tendon suffered in Week 7 last season. According to Thiry, Jackson has gradually been working into drills at camp despite not opening training camp on the PUP list. Jackson is entering the second year of a five-year, $82.5 million contract.

  • Begins camp healthy

    Jackson avoided the PUP list to start Chargers camp, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: After being sidelined for Los Angeles' final 13 games last season with a kneecap injury, the veteran corner seems to be healthy again. Jackson was off to a rocky start in his first season with the Chargers, giving up an 149.3 passer rating when targeted through five games. Los Angeles is hopeful that the star veteran can return to his 2021 form, when he finished second in the NFL in interceptions and receiving second-team All-Pro honors.

  • Optimistic about training camp

    Jackson (kneecap) said Tuesday that he's "right on track" in his recovery and sounded hopeful that he'll be cleared ahead of training camp in late July, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson signed a five-year, $82.5 million deal with the Chargers last offseason, but he wasn't able to live up to the lofty expectations that come with a lucrative contract, as he struggled in coverage before rupturing the patellar tendon in his right knee Week 7. He's nearly eight months removed from surgery and is getting close to a return, but further clarity on his return to the practice field should arrive after her meets with Dr. Neal ElAttrache next week. Head coach Brandon Staley said…read more

  • Doing individual drills at OTAs

    Jackson (knee) participated in individual drills at OTAs this week.

    Analysis: The Chargers' official Twitter account posted a video of Jackson running and changing direction Friday. He's working his way back from a ruptured patellar tendon suffered in Week 7 last season. Jackson signed a five-year, $82.5 million deal with the Chargers last offseason only to play 244 snaps across five games during his first season in Los Angeles.

  • Possibly back for training camp

    Chargers general manager Tom Telesco said Monday that "the hope" is Jackson (kneecap) will be ready to participate in training camp this summer, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jackson suffered a ruptured patellar tendon Week 7 last year and has been sidelined since. At the end of March, Telesco said he's operating under the assumption Jackson will be ready for the 2023 campaign, but head coach Brandon Staley said there was no definitive timetable for the cornerback's return. Further clarity on Jackson's status should surface when the Chargers begin OTAs, but for now, he'll continue to attack his rehab one day at a time.

  • Return timetable TBD

    GM Tom Telesco noted earlier this week that he's operating under the assumption Jackson, who is rehabbing a torn patellar tendon that he suffered Week 7 last season, will be available this coming season, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: That said, per John Dillon of USA Today, coach Brandon Staley acknowledged that the Chargers are unsure when the cornerback will be ready for action, noting of Jackson, "(We have) no timeline. He's at the facility, just kind of same as (usual). Improving. It's good to see him on a day-to-day basis." Added context regarding Jackson's injury recovery should arrive once the team embarks on OTAs and then training camp, but when healthy the 27-year-old's ball-hawking ability will be an asset to…read more

  • Officially on IR

    The Chargers placed Jackson (kneecap) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson is done for the season after having suffered a ruptured patellar tendon Week 7, and he underwent surgery to address the injury Wednesday as reported by Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times. The 26-year-old cornerback logged just five appearances after signing a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Charges this offseason, and his attention will now turn toward making a full recovery in time for the 2023 campaign. Michael Davis looks likely to take over for Jackson as a starting…read more

  • Out for season

    Chargers coach Brandon Staley says that Jackson will miss the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with a ruptured patellar tendon Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson suffered what was initially labeled as a dislocated right kneecap in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. However, an MRI exam revealed that this injury was much more significant, leaving the 26-year-old sidelined until at least the 2023 campaign. Jackson played just two full games after signing a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Chargers this offseason, as he was sidelined in Weeks 1 and 3 with a lingering ankle issue and was benched at halftime of a Week 6 loss to Denver. In his…read more

  • Suffers dislocated kneecap

    Jackson sustained a dislocated right kneecap during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jackson had an air cast on his right leg as he was carted off the field during Sunday's matchup, and his injury appears to be significant. He'll undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss additional time.

  • Sustains knee injury

    Jackson won't return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks due to a right knee injury.

    Analysis: Jackson went down with a non-contact injury shortly before halftime Sunday and had to be carted off the field. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but Michael Davis should see increased playing time while Jackson is sidelined.

  • Will remain starter

    Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Wednesday that Jackson will start Sunday against the Seahawks, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was benched at halftime in favor of Michael Davis during the Chargers' Week 6 win over the Broncos on Monday Night Football. However, given Staley's comments, it appears the decision may have been simply matchup based. Regardless, fantasy managers should probably steer clear of Jackson for now.

  • Will play at Houston

    Jackson (ankle) participated at full capacity in practice Friday and will be available Week 4 at Houston.

    Analysis: Jackson has been able to play in only one of the Chargers' three games so far this season as he continues to deal with inflammation and soreness as a result of a procedure he underwent on his ankle in mid-August. The Pro Bowler's availability will be a huge boost to the entire Chargers defense in Week 4.

  • Logs limited practice

    Jackson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant during practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson is still dealing with inflammation and soreness following an ankle surgery undergone in mid-August. After suiting up in Week 2, the Pro Bowl cornerback was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, leaving Michael Davis to start in his place. Since it's unclear how much this issue may limit him moving forward, it will be worth monitoring Jackson's injury status heading into Sunday's game against Houston.

  • Dealing with inflammation

    Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Jackson is dealing with inflammation in his surgically repaired ankle, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson underwent ankle surgery in August and is apparently still dealing with some residual effects from the procedure. He's missed two of the first three weeks of the season, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Sunday's matchup in Houston after sitting out the Chargers' Week 3 loss to Jacksonville.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Jackson (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Jackson underwent ankle surgery in mid-August and appears to still not be fully recovered. After missing Week 1 he returned to play 100 percent of the snaps in Week 2, but then failed to take part in practice this week. In his absence, Michael Davis will likely draw the start, while Jackson will aim to return in Week 4 against the Texans.

  • Listed as doubtful for Week 3

    Jackson (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Jackson made his 2022 debut in Week 2 following mid-August ankle surgery. However, the 26-year-old still appears to be dealing with the after-effects of the procedure and was sidelined at practice Wednesday-Friday. At first, Chargers head coach Brandon Staley was content saying the Pro Bowl cornerback was 'just sore," but it's certainly alarming to see Jackson not practicing for an extended period. If Jackson is sidelined, Michael Davis will likely draw another start opposite Asante Samuel.

  • Sits out due to 'soreness'

    Chargers coach Brandon Staley said that Jackson (ankle) did not practice Wednesday while dealing with "residual soreness" following last Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jackson made his 2022 debut in Week 2 following ankle surgery undergone in mid-August. However, the 26-year-old still appears to be dealing with the after-effects of this procedure given his lack of participation during the Bolts' practice Wednesday. While Staley did add that Jackson is "good, just sore," it will still be worth monitoring the Pro Bowl cornerback's injury status heading into Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville.

  • Suits up Thursday

    Jackson (ankle) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen if Jackson will handle a full allotment of snaps Thursday after sitting out the Chargers' season opener, but the return of the playmaking cornerback -- who racked up 17 picks over the last two seasons while with New England -- at least should provide the Los Angeles secondary with a nice boost as the unit looks to contain Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes-led passing attack Week 2.

  • Expected to play Thursday

    Jackson (ankle) is expected to play Thursday night against Kansas City, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Official confirmation of the cornerback's Week 2 status will arrive upon the release of the Chargers' inactives ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but Jackson's looming addition to the mix no doubt would provide a boost to the team's secondary versus a Chiefs offense led by Patrick Mahomes.

  • Questionable for Week 2

    Jackson (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Jackson couldn't suit up in the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Raiders but upgraded to limited participation in Tuesday's walk-through practice. The 26-year-old's final status for Thursday's game could come down to the wire. Of course, having Jackson on the field would be a huge boon as the team attempts to contain Patrick Mahomes, who threw five touchdowns against a depleted Cardinals secondary Week 1.

    Jackson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Due to the quick turnaround for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, the Chargers held a walk-through session Tuesday, but Jackson would have had his reps capped had the team conducted a traditional practice. Per Bridget Condon of NFL Network, head coach Brandon Staley said the 26-year-old cornerback will take part in jogging Wednesday to test his ankle, which should give the Chargers a better indication of whether Jackson has a chance to play Thursday.

  • Listed as non-participant

    Jackson (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.

    Analysis: Jackson was unavailable for Sunday's win over the Raiders due to his ankle injury, and coach Brandon Staley described the cornerback's chances of playing during Thursday's Week 2 matchup against Kansas City as "50/50." Jackson's listing on Monday's practice estimation isn't encouraging, and he'll presumably need to practice in some capacity Tuesday or Wednesday if he hopes to make his season debut Thursday.

  • Considered 50/50 for Thursday

    Coach Brandon Staley described Jackson's (ankle) chances of playing Thursday against the Chiefs as "50/50," Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Jackson sat out Los Angeles' Week 1 win over the Raiders and is hoping to heal up in time to face another AFC West rival. If the short week provides enough time for Jackson to complete his recovery, his addition to the Chargers' secondary would provide welcome reinforcements against an explosive Kansas City passing game led by Patrick Mahomes, who threw five touchdowns in Week 1.

  • Won't suit up Sunday

    Jackson (ankle) was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was officially ruled out by the Chargers after being listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report. With the newly acquired cornerback sidelined, Michael Davis, Ja'Sir Taylor and Bryce Callahan should see increased usage in the team's secondary Sunday.

    Jackson (ankle), who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Given his designation, Jackson's expected absence from the Week 1 lineup comes as little surprise. As Jackson continues to work his way back from mid-August ankle surgery, Los Angeles will have to lean on Asante Samuel, Michael Davis and Bryce Callahan to cover the likes of Davante Adams, Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow.

  • Doubtful for Week 1

    Jackson (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus Las Vegas, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson underwent surgery on his ankle in mid-August, and at this point it looks like he'll probably need at least one more week to fully recover. Assuming Jackson doesn't play versus the Raiders, Asante Samuel, Michael Davis and Bryce Callahan will be tasked with trying to contain Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow.

    Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Wednesday that Jackson (ankle) will be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Raiders, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Staley added that Jackson is out of his walking boot and has resumed running, but it's unclear if he'll play in the season opener. Taylor Bisciotti of NFL Network reported earlier Wednesday that the Chargers don't expect Jackson to play Sunday, but it appears Staley isn't ready to rule out his top cornerback just yet. If Jackson is sidelined, the Chargers will have a tough time slowing down Davante Adams and Las Vegas' new-look offense in Week 1.

  • Not expected for Week 1

    The Chargers do not expect Jackson (ankle) to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders, Taylor Bisciotti of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jackson is recovering from mid-August ankle surgery, and while he's not expected to miss a substantial amount of time, it looks like Los Angeles' top cornerback won't be available to face Las Vegas' new top wideout Davante Adams. The Chargers also have a Thursday night matchup against the Chiefs in Week 2, which provides Jackson with less than ideal recovery time to limit his absence to one game.

  • Out 2-4 weeks after ankle surgery

    Jackson had ankle surgery Tuesday and is expected to be out for two-to-four weeks, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With the surgery occurring 19 days before the Chargers' regular season opener, Jackson seems more likely to miss the game than play in it. A Thursday game in Week 2 is suboptimal as well in terms of avoiding multiple absences, but at this point the Chargers haven't completely ruled him out for even Week 1.

  • Lands massive deal with Chargers

    Jackson and the Chargers agreed Monday on a five-year, $82.5 million contract that includes $40 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After the Patriots opted not to use their franchise tag on him earlier this month, Jackson became the top cornerback available on the open market. One of the league's premier ballhawks since entering the NFL in 2018, Jackson recorded 25 interceptions over his first four seasons, and his eight picks in 2021 surpassed the Chargers' entire total as a team (seven). He'll be part of an up-and-coming Los Angeles secondary that includes three recent early round draft picks in safeties Derwin James and…read more

  • No franchise tag

    The Patriots didn't use their franchise tag on Jackson prior to Tuesday's deadline, making him an unrestricted free agency at the start of the new league year March 16, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Applying the franchise tag would have cost the team $17.3 million this coming season, so the ball-hawking cornerback will now hit free agency unless he re-ups with New England before then. Either way, the 26-year-old -- who has tallied 17 interceptions over the last two seasons -- is destined for a big raise as arguably the top player at his position on the open market.

    The Patriots are not expected to apply their franchise tag on Jackson, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that the franchise tag for cornerbacks is expected to top $17 million in 2022 and it looks like the team is inclined to let the ball-hawk test the free-agent market. While the Patriots would no doubt prefer to retain Jackson, such an outcome would hinge on him being amenable to re-signing in New England at the right salary/terms. In any case, there will be no lack of interest in Jackson's services if he indeed hits free agency, with the 26-year-old having racked up 17…read more

  • Candidate for franchise tag

    Jackson finished the regular season with 58 tackles and a team-high eight interceptions to go with a forced fumble and a touchdown in 17 games.

    Analysis: In his fourth season, Jackson -- who logged nine picks in 2020 -- continued his ball-hawking ways. The 26-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and the cornerback is viewed as a prime candidate to receive New England's franchise tag, according to Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site.

    Jackson tallied four solo tackles and an interception in Sunday's 50-10 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Jackson was limited in practice ahead of Sunday's matchup and was on the field for just 83 percent of the defensive snaps against Jacksonville. However, the 26-year-old recorded his first interception since Week 12 in the blowout victory. He's now recorded 54 tackles (42 solo), eight interceptions, a forced fumble and 22 pass defenses this season.

  • Questionable Sunday

    Jackson (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Jackson was limited in practice all week due to an elbow injury, and he'll carry a questionable designation for Week 17 as a result. If the 26-year-old is unable to play against Jacksonville, Myles Bryant and Shaun Wade could see additional usage.

    Jackson was named the AFC's Defensive Player of the Month on Thursday after he recorded six tackles, four interceptions, one forced fumble and two additional pass breakups while also scoring a touchdown across the Patriots' four November games.

    Analysis: Thanks to his big November, Jackson is up to seven interceptions on the season, trailing only Dallas' Trevon Diggs (eight) for the NFL lead. Since going undrafted out of Maryland in 2018, Jackson has emerged as one of the league's top ballhawks, tallying 24 interceptions over 61 career games.

  • Considered questionable

    Jackson (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's showdown against the Buccaneers, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cox popped up on the Patriots injury report after practicing in limited fashion Friday. He was a full participant earlier in the week, so it is unclear when the injury occurred. Jonathan Jones and Joejuan Williams would be candidates to replace him at cornerback opposite Jalen Mills should he ultimately be unable to suit up Sunday.

  • Signs contract tender

    Jackson has signed his second-round contract tender with the Patriots, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Howe notes that by signing his tender, the cornerback can no longer sign an offer sheet with another team, but Jackson could be in store for a big payday next year. The 25-year-old, who joined the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2018, has emerged both as a key member of his team's secondary and as an IDP option. Jackson logged 40 tackles and nine picks in 16 games last season.

  • Receives second-round tender

    The Patriots placed a second-round tender on Jackson on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Patriots struck gold with the undrafted cornerback, and now they're making a commitment to keep him around. In his third NFL season, Jackson played in all 16 games, allowing a 66.5 passer rating in coverage and finishing second in the league with nine interceptions. Other teams will likely still be interested in Jackson despite the second-round pick they would forfeit by signing him, but the Patriots have the right to match any offer sent his way.

  • Logs nine interceptions

    Jackson finished the 2020 season with 40 tackles and nine interceptions in 16 games.

    Analysis: Jackson, who logged five picks in 2019, continued to display his ball-hawking skills this past season and is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason. It's expected that the Patriots will do what's necessary to keep the 25-year-old around, however, with NESN's Zack Cox suggesting that the team will likely place either a first- or second-round tender on the cornerback, who joined New England as a UDFA in 2018.

  • Clear for TNF

    Jackson (hip) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Jackson came into the game drawing the questionable tag after he was a limited participant in practice this week. Jackson will suit up despite the injury, as he's racked up 25 tackles (20 solo), 12 pass breakups and seven interceptions this campaign, playing in all 12 games to this point in the season. With Jackson healthy, expect him to handle his usual starting role across from Stephon Gilmore.

  • Reverts to injury report

    Jackson (hip) was a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Jackson dealt with this injury last week but played in Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers. He handled just 68 percent of the snaps on defense, but that decrease in usage may be more related to the blowout nature of the game than his injury. Jackson will be closely monitored this week. He's on the right track for Thursday's game against the Rams.

  • Ready for Week 13

    Jackson (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Jackson received the questionable tag after suffering the injury last week, but he won't be forced to sit out Sunday's contest. The 25-year-old should take up his usual starting post at cornerback for New England.

  • Carries questionable tag

    Jackson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

    Analysis: Jackson exited last week's win over the Cardinals and didn't return. He managed to practice all week, albeit in a limited capacity, providing a chance to return to the field this week. Jackson has been a strong cornerback this season, letting up 472 yards in coverage over 11 games. Jason McCourty and Jonathan Jones are candidates to start in Jackson's place if he's ruled out.

  • Banged up Sunday

    Jackson suffered lower back and left hip injuries during Sunday's win over the Cardinals, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jackson remained on the sideline and was icing both areas in the closing stages of the contest, so he may just be dealing with some minor injuries. The 25-year-old's participation at practice later in the week should provide a better idea of his status heading into Week 13.

  • Nabs INT in fifth straight game

    Jackson had one pass defensed and an interception during Sunday's 23-17 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Jackson has now recorded a pick in five consecutive games, a feat which Zack Cox of NESN.com reports has earned him a nod on the Pro Bowl ballot. The 24-year-old has also parlayed his way into an every-down defensive role over the last three weeks, and he leads the league with six interceptions on the year. He's solidified himself as a reliable playmaker in New England's secondary.

  • Four-game INT streak

    Jackson posted a solo tackle, two pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Jackson has been a hawk since the Week 5 bye, picking off the opposing quarterback in four straight games to reach a league high of five interceptions. That matches last year's total in the category, and his 10 pass breakups do as well. The 24-year-old cornerback's work in coverage has been excellent as well, allowing a 61.9 passer rating when targeted. He's on an upward trajectory, and Jackson could be due for a payday before he becomes a free agent in March.

  • Ready to go Sunday

    Jackson (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old was added to the injury report Friday with the knee issue and was considered questionable, but it won't prevent him from suiting up Sunday. Jackson should serve in his usual rotational role in New England's secondary.

  • Questionable for Week 8

    Jackson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Jackson wasn't listed on New England's injury report to begin the week, but he was limited in Friday's practice due to a knee issue. The 25-year-old normally handles a rotational role at cornerback for the Patriots, but he's nonetheless managed to secure an interception in back-to-back games.
