Good to go against Dallas
Jackson (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Questionable after full practice
Jackson (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Jackson carries an injury designation into Sunday's game despite being a full participant in all three of Carolina's practices. The starting outside cornerback looks more likely than not to suit up, but additional opportunities could be available for Corey Thornton if Jackson is sidelined or limited.

Four tackles in loss
Jackson recorded four tackles (three solo) and one pass breakup in Carolina's loss to New England on Sunday.
Analysis: Jackson played all 49 defensive snaps against the Patriots and played a big part in Carolina allowing a 6-101-0 receiving line to Stefon Diggs.

Continues to impress Sunday
Jackson recorded six total tackles (five solo) and one interception during Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: The 28-year-old tied Tre'von Moehrig for the second-most tackles on Carolina's defense Sunday, trailing Christian Rozeboom's nine-stop effort. Jackson has played a large part in the Panthers' defensive success this season, recording 11 total tackles and three passes defended, including one interception, over three games. He's expected to remain one of the team's top defensive playmakers in a Week 4 matchup against the Patriots.

Returning to Carolina
Jackson agreed to a two-year, $14.5-million contract with the Panthers on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's a big payday for the 2019 fifth-round pick of the Cowboys, who has played on five teams since getting drafted and on one-year deals for the last three seasons. In 2024, Jackson earned a starting job with the Panthers and never gave it up, recording career highs in defensive snaps (1,140), tackles (76), pass breakups (17) and interceptions (two).

Impressive 2024 campaign
Jackson tallied 76 total tackles and 17 passes defended, including two interceptions, over 17 games in 2024.
Analysis: Jackson was a late addition to the Panthers' first-team defense but emerged as one of the team's most consistent players throughout the year. The 27-year-old set career highs in total tackles, passes defended and interceptions during his first season with the Panthers, playing the most defensive snaps of his career (1,140). Jackson signed a one-year, $1.2 million deal with the Seahawks last spring before being traded to Carolina in late August, making him an unrestricted free agent this…read more

Impresses vs. Denver
Jackson recorded 10 total tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: The first-year Panther was one of three players with double-digit stops in Sunday's loss, tying Josey Jewell as the team's second-leading tackler behind Demani Richardson's 11-stop effort. Jackson has now recorded 43 total tackles and six passes defended, including one interception, across the Panthers' first eight games this season. He's expected to continue starting opposite Jaycee Horn as part of Carolina's top outside-cornerback duo in Week 9, when the Panthers host the Saints.

Breaks out in Week 3
Jackson logged nine total tackles (all solo) and defended three passes, including one interception, during Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Jackson had one of the best games of his six-year NFL career Sunday, as he led the Panthers in total tackles and passes defended while also picking off Gardner Minshew in the fourth quarter. The first-year Panther has impressed through his first three games in Carolina, recording 17 total tackles and four passes defended over 186 defensive snaps. Expect Jackson to continue lining up opposite Jaycee Horn, creating problems for opposing quarterbacks as the season progresses.

Starting in Carolina
Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Wednesday that Jackson is expected to start opposite Jaycee Horn as the Panthers' top boundary cornerbacks, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Jackson and Canales spent some time together while Canales was an assistant on Seattle's coaching staff, and he's already overtaken Dane Jackson as one of the Panthers' starting corners just six days after being traded to Carolina. The 27-year-old has been reliable over the past two seasons, appearing in all 34 of the Seahawks' regular-season games and recording 109 total tackles and 17 passes defended, including one interception.

Traded to Carolina
The Panthers acquired Jackson from the Seahawks on Thursday in exchange for linebacker Michael Barrett, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The 27-year-old cornerback has appeared in all 34 of the Seahawks' regular-season games since 2022, recording 109 total tackles and 17 passes defended, including one interception. Jackson is expected to add depth to a Panthers secondary that already ranked third in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (171.5 yards) in 2023. He could even find himself starting if Dane Jackson (hamstring) isn't ready for the team's regular-season opener Sep. 8 against the Saints.

Agrees to contract restructure
Jackson restructured his contract with the Seahawks on Monday to clear roughly $1.89 million in cap space, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson signed a restricted free agent tender with Seattle to re-up with the team in early April, but he now has a league-minimum base salary of $1.055 million in exchange for a new signing bonus of $167,500. A 2019 fifth-rounder, Jackson played a depth role at cornerback and contributed regularly on special teams across 17 games last season. He lacks a clear path to fantasy relevance in IDP formats, barring a player ahead of him on the depth chart missing time.

Inks RFA tender
Jackson signed his contract with the Seahawks as a restricted free agent Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Jackson started all 17 regular-season games for Seattle in 2022, though he logged just four starts in 2023 (while recording 34 tackles) despite the same amount of appearances. The 2019 fifth-rounder figures to reprise a key defensive role at cornerback with the Seahawks during the 2024 campaign.

Role diminishes in 2023
Jackson posted 34 tackles (28 solo) and five pass breakups across 17 games during the 2023 regular season.
Analysis: Jackson was a full-time starter during the 2022 season and racked up 75 tackles, 12 pass breakups and an interception. But things dropped off for the cornerback in 2023 with the addition of first-round pick Devon Witherspoon, as Jackson ended up starting just four games. He still put forth a solid tackle count. Jackson will be a restricted free agent in March, so there's a decent chance he's still in Seattle next year.

Listed as backup
Jackson is listed as a backup to Tre Brown on the depth chart ahead of Sunday's game versus the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Head coach Pete Carroll expects both Jackson and Brown to play in Sunday's game, but it appears Brown has the edge after Jackson had a rough preseason. Both cornerbacks will look to make an impact to secure a larger role once first-round rookie Devon Witherspoon (hamstring) is healthy and ready for NFL play.

Competing for starting spot
Jackson is competing for a spot as a starting corner, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Jackson will have a chance at starting Week 1 despite struggling in Saturday's win versus the Cowboys. Rookie first-round pick Devon Witherspoon is now getting playing time in the slot, leaving the starting spot on the outside opposite Riq Woolen open for the 26-year-old.

Projects as backup
Jackson will likely serve as a backup in 2023 after the Seahawks selected Devon Witherspoon in the first round of this year's draft, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Head coach Pete Carroll mentioned that Jackson and Witherspoon will compete for the job at left cornerback while second-year corner Tariq Woolen starts on the right side and Coby Bryant mans the slot. Carroll embraces competition, but when a team picks a corner fifth overall, he's going to start sooner than later. Jackson posted 75 tackles (63 solo) last season as a starter, so he'll be a useful IDP option if he does crack the starting lineup.

Re-signs with Seattle
Seattle re-signed Jackson, who was an exclusive rights free agent, on Monday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Jackson posted 74 tackles, 12 pass defenses, two fumble recoveries and one interception across 17 appearances in 2022, his first campaign as a full-time starter. The 2019 fifth-round pick currently projects to be the top cornerback opposite Tariq Woolen in Seattle's secondary, but the Seahawks could add more cornerback depth in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Productive in first year as starter
Jackson posted 75 tackles (63 solo), 12 pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and an interception over 17 regular-season games in 2022.
Analysis: Jackson played just 28 defensive snaps through his first three NFL seasons, but he started all 17 games in 2022 and played nearly every snap. The 2019 fifth-round pick was quite productive for fantasy purposes. However, he'll be a free agent in March, and he'll likely need to battle for a starting job in 2023 whether in Seattle or not.

Season-best eight stops
Jackson recorded eight tackles and one pass defended in Sunday's 40-34 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Jackson remained a mainstay as an outside corner in Seattle's defense, maintaining a snap rate of more than 95 percent for the fifth consecutive game. He made a season-high eight stops, bringing his tackle total on the campaign to 52. Jackson has also chipped in nine passes defended and two recovered fumbles across 11 games.

Breaks up three passes
Jackson posted seven solo tackles and three pass breakups in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Jackson was outstanding in coverage against the Giants. He now has 34 tackles (33 solo) and seven pass breakups through eight games. Jackson has operated as a starter all season, and there's no indication that will change anytime soon.

Listed as starter
Jackson is listed as the starting left cornerback on Seattle's depth chart, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: This was unexpected, as Jackson has just 28 defensive snaps to his name through three NFL seasons. With Artie Burns (groin) and Sidney Jones (concussion) sidelined, Jackson is on track to start in Week 1 against the Broncos. It wouldn't be surprising if he eventually gave up that job to either Burns or Jones once they're healthy.

Restored to practice squad
The Seahawks activated Jackson (undisclosed) from the practice squad COVID-19 list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Jackson spent a week and a half away from the team, but it's not yet clear whether he tested positive for the virus. He should continue to serve as organizational depth as part of the practice squad.

Placed on practice squad COVID list
The Seahawks placed Jackson (undisclosed) on the practice squad COVID-19 list Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old has been on Seattle's practice squad this year after he was waived by the Patriots in early September. It's not yet known whether Jackson has tested positive for the virus, but he'll be forced to spend some time away from the team.

Out of New England
Jackson was waived by the Patriots on Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson was dealt from the Lions to the Patriots back at the beginning of August for a conditional 2022 draft pick, but he clearly was less than impressive with his new club. The cornerback played in one game last season for the Lions, contributing only on special teams.

Dealt to New England
The Lions traded Jackson to the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Earlier Sunday, the Lions announced cuts to whittle down to 80 players, including sending Jackson to waivers. Before the move could become official, though, New England offered a conditional 2022 draft pick to Detroit to obtain his services. The Patriots' cornerback group is robust, but Jackson nonetheless will get a shot to make the regular-season roster.
