Back from personal matter
Jackson (personal) played in Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants and recorded three tackles (three solo) and one pass breakup.
Analysis: Jackson missed minimal practice time tending to a personal issue earlier in the week. He's expected to be a big part of Buffalo's cornerback picture this season alongside Christian Benford, Taron Johnson, Tre'Davious White and rookie Maxwell Hairston.

Not practicing for personal reasons
Jackson (personal) isn't practicing Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson presumably won't be sidelined long since there isn't an injury at play, but it remains to be seen if he'll be back with the team in time to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants. The veteran cornerback is a candidate to open the season in a starting role if rookie first-round pick Maxwell Hairston (knee) isn't ready to begin the regular season.

Signs with Buffalo
Jackson agreed to a one-year deal with the Bills on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jackson will return to Buffalo after spending one season in Carolina, where he played in nine games including three starts, following a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve to begin the year. The 28-year-old corner is expected to provide much-needed production for Buffalo's secondary, a unit likely to add additional competition through free agency and/or the draft following the trade of Kaiir Elam and the expected departure of Rasul Douglas, who's an unrestricted free agent.

Let go by Carolina
The Panthers released Jackson on Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson struggled in his first season with the Panthers, appearing in just nine games and recording 23 total tackles and two passes defended. The veteran cornerback's playing time decreased as the year progressed; he played more than 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps just once over his last five appearances, which suggests Carolina is prioritizing youth in the secondary heading into 2025. Jackson, who posted 96 total tackles and 17 passes defended over 30 regular-season games with the…read more

Underwhelms in Carolina
Jackson recorded 23 total tackles and two passes defended over nine games in 2024.
Analysis: Jackson signed a two-year, $8.5 million deal with the Panthers last offseason after posting 96 total tackles, two forced fumbles and 17 passes defended, including two interceptions, over his final two seasons in Buffalo. The Pittsburgh product missed six of the Panthers' first seven games due to a hamstring injury and failed to find a rhythm in his first season in Carolina, playing a reserve role when healthy. With Michael Jackson set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Jackson…read more

Ready to rock
Jackson (hamstring) was removed from the Panthers' injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.
Analysis: Jackson had been dealing with a hamstring issue that held him out of the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Broncos; however, being removed from Friday's injury report suggests he's completely past the issue. Expect the first-year Panther to serve as one of Carolina's top rotational cornerbacks in Week 9.

Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Jackson was able to play through a hamstring injury during the Panthers' Week 7 game against the Commanders, but he will not suit up Sunday. Caleb Farley will be the primary backup option at corner behind starters Jaycee Horn and Michael Jackson.

Doubtful for Sunday
Jackson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Analysis: Jackson upgraded to limited work Friday after logging consecutive DNPs to begin the Panthers' week of practice, suggesting he's trending in the right direction. However, his doubtful designation indicates that his chances of suiting up in Week 8 remain minimal. If Jackson is sidelined as expected, expect Shemar Bartholomew to see increased work in Carolina's secondary.

Logs DNP
Jackson (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Jackson made his season debut in this past Sunday's loss to the Commanders, playing 51 percent of the Panthers' snaps on defense and making four combined tackles. Assuming the Pittsburgh product didn't aggravate the injury during the game, it's likely his DNP was more for maintenance purposes. However, his practice status Thursday or Friday could be worth monitoring ahead of a Week 8 matchup with the Broncos.

Analysis: Jackson opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury he sustained during training camp.

Not returning Week 6
Jackson (hamstring) was downgraded to out Saturday ahead of Sunday's contest versus Atlanta, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Jackson is working his way back from a hamstring strain that landed him on IR prior to the start of the season. The cornerback's practice window opened Oct. 2, so the Panthers have until Oct. 23 to either activate him or rule him out for the remainder of the campaign. Jackson entered the weekend with a designation of questionable after logging an FP/LP/LP practice progression during the week, so there's a decent chance he'll be able to play Week 7 versus Washington assuming he hasn't suffered a…read more

Officially questionable for Sunday
Jackson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Jackson's questionable status is good news, considering he's been serving time on injured reserve the entire season. The fifth-year cornerback will need to be activated off IR in order to play against the Falcons, but that will likely be done on Sunday if he's trending in the right direction.

Analysis: Jackson was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he gave himself a chance at returning for Week 5 after being a limited participant in all three practices.

Sent to IR by Carolina
The Panthers placed Jackson (hamstring) on injured reserve/designated for return Tuesday.
Analysis: Teams are allowed to designate two players to return from IR if placed on injured reserve ahead of final cuts, and Jackson is one of them for Carolina. He was injured roughly two weeks ago and was given a recovery timeline of six weeks. Jackson's placement on IR will keep him sidelined for at least the first four games of 2024. Look for Troy Hill to get the first crack at snaps alongside Jaycee Horn at cornerback.

Suffers hamstring injury
Jackson is expected to miss around six weeks with a hamstring injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: This puts Jackson's Week 1 status in serious doubt, and there could even be a chance he opens the season on injured reserve with that type of recovery timeline. Jackson was expected to open 2024 as the Panthers' starting corner opposite Jaycee Horn. It could thrust veteran Troy Hill into every-down duties, which would leave Carolina particularly thin at the position.

Headed to Carolina
Jackson has agreed to a contract with the Panthers, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Panthers GM Dan Morgan was in Buffalo's front office when the Bills selected Jackson in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Jackson is likely being brought in to fill the starting outside cornerback role vacated by CJ Henderson, who is a free agent. Jackson started only six of the 15 games in which he appeared for Buffalo in 2023, but he made 14 starts for the Bills in 2022.

Returns to practice
Jackson (concussion) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Jackson missed the team's Week 12 loss to the Eagles, but after a Week 13 bye, the fourth-year pro appears to have cleared the league's five-step concussion protocols and should suit up Sunday against the Chiefs. His return, along with Taylor Rapp (neck) returning should be good news for the Buffalo secondary.

Ruled out for Week 12
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Jackson (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson will miss at least one game as he works to gain full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol. Given that Jackson has been a key contributor for Buffalo's banged-up secondary, and that Taylor Rapp (neck) is also ruled out for Week 12, this unit could be particularly vulnerable versus Philadelphia's star-studded passing attack.

Jackson (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: The 26-year-old corner missed Buffalo's Week 6 win over the Giants with a foot injury, but it seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. Jackson is likely in for a bigger role on a Bills defense that's without Tre'Davious White (Achilles) for the remainder of the season.

Possibility for Sunday
Jackson (foot) practiced on a limited basis Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Jackson played 100 percent of the snaps in the Week 5 loss to Jacksonville. With long-time starter Tre'Davious White out for the season with a torn Achilles, Jackson may be Buffalo's second best healthy cover corner after Taron Johnson, though no one could seem to stop Calvin Ridley from having his way in last week's loss. Fortunately for the Bills this week, the Giants lack star power in the passing game and won't even have starting quarterback Daniel Jones (neck).

In line for bigger role
Jackson, who saw a season-high 44 snaps while registering four tackles in Buffalo's win over Miami on Sunday, is in line for more playing time in the wake of Tre'Davious White's season-ending Achilles injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. "Dane, Christian, Kaiir, we expect those guys to step in and to play to the best of their ability," assistant coach Eric Washington said this week.
Analysis: Jackson may not be on the field 100 percent of the defensive snaps, as Taron Johnson plays a hybrid role and is out there most of the time in various roles, plus Kaiir Elam, a first-rounder from last season, will also be asked to step up, but Jackson could be in store for some bigger IDP production. If he starts this week in London against the Jaguars, it will be his 23rd start since being drafted by the Bills in the seventh round in 2020.

Staying in Buffalo
Jackson is in line to re-sign with the Bills, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Bills plan to tender the restricted free agent after he had a productive season in 2022. The deal will likely be an original-round tender at $2.7 million, which would make the 26-year-old cornerback a cost effective option in Buffalo's defensive backfield if he can build upon his solid 2022 campaign. Jackson finished the season with 57 tackles (40 solo), two interceptions, 12 passes defensed and one forced fumble.

Ready to go in AFC divisional round
Jackson (knee) logged a full practice Thursday and will be ready to play Sunday versus the Bengals.
Analysis: Jackson exited the Bills' wild-card win over the Dolphins early with a knee issue, but it appears the cornerback suffered only a minor injury, so he's likely to start Sunday's playoff game against Cincinnati.

However, he's been sidelined for back-to-back practices due to a knee injury leading up to Week 2.

Ready for challenging start
Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier indicated this week that he will "mix it up" between rookie cornerbacks Kaiir Elam and Christian Benford when the team takes on the Rams on Thursday Night Football, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports. That would seem to imply Jackson will serve as the starting cornerback opposite the two rookies.
Analysis: This is a fluid situation, as star corner Tre'Davious White (knee) will eventually return and resume one of the starting spots. As far as Thursday is concerned, the Rams love to push the pedal on offense and it wouldn't be a surprise if Jackson ends up accruing at least a handful of tackles in what's set to be an exciting season-opening game.

Tight competition with rookie
Jackson is expected to compete for a starting spot opposite Tre'Davious White, Dante Lasting of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: The open spot seems to be up for grabs between Jackson, first-round rookie Kaiir Elam and veteran Siran Neal. Neal may be more valuable in a more all-around role due to his versatility, and if that comes into fruition, then Jackson will be competing with Elam for the starting job. Elam has upside and recent draft capital in his favor, so winning the starting gig may come down to his ability to catch on with the pro game. Jackson has familiarity in Leslie Frazier's defense and spent some time as…read more

Another seven-tackle outing
Jackson notched seven tackles (five solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's 31-14 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Jackson was briefly forced out of Week 15's win due to a neck injury, but he managed to retake the field. The cornerback has back-to-back seven-tackle games under his belt, and he's played 100 percent of snaps since Tre'Davious White (knee) went down Week 12, making him a viable fantasy candidate Week 16 in New England.

Returns to action
Jackson (neck) has returned to Sunday's game against Carolina, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson suffered a stinger early in the first quarter but missed minimal time. He's been a key member of Buffalo's secondary since Tre'Davious White (knee) went down in Week 12, playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps.

Suffers early injury
Jackson (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Carolina after suffering a stinger.
Analysis: Jackson has been on the field for 100 percent of defensive snaps since Tre'Davious White went down with a torn ACL in Week 12. His absence would further deplete Buffalo's secondary, with Siran Neal a candidate to see increased playing time while Jackson remains sidelined.

Big opportunity ahead
Jackson is expected to see increased action in the wake of Tre'Davious White's season-ending knee injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. "I think Dane Jackson is one of those guys who will step up," defensive coordinator Frazier said this week. "He's the next man up and he'll do a good job for us. But to say that he will play at the level of Tre'Davious, that would be misleading for sure."
Analysis: Jackson saw a season-high 63 percent of the snaps in the team's Thanksgiving win over New Orleans, and his time should be at least at that level going forward, as he's now the third best corner left after starter Levi Wallace and slot corner Taron Johnson. Expect to see Jackson in on at least a few tackles as Bill Belichick and Mac Jones test out the unproven corner in Week 13.

Sees extra action Thursday
Jackson had three tackles in Thursday's 31-6 win over the Saints.
Analysis: While three tackles may seem like a ho-hum total, Jackson could be in for a much heavier workload in the coming weeks if Tre'Davious White's knee injury turns out to be serious. You can bet Bill Belichick will be looking the unproven Jackson's way if he sees the field regularly with two games between the Bills and Patriots on the remaining slate.

Suiting up for Week 3
Jackson (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Washington, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Jackson was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but Friday's full practice set the table for the second-year defensive back to resume his complementary role Sunday against Taylor Heinicke and the WFT. Jackson has five tackles through two games but would probably need an injury to Tre'Davious White or Levi Wallace in order to start seeing the bulk of snaps on defense.

Questionable after full practice
Jackson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington.
Analysis: Jackson upgraded to full participation in practice Friday after consecutive limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, but his full participation wasn't enough to take his name off the injury report. While his status likely won't be determined until shortly before kickoff Sunday, Jackson has certainly been trending in the right direction.

Minor knee injury
Jackson was listed as limited for Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.
Analysis: Jackson put up five tackles during Sunday's win over Miami, but that seems about his ceiling for now as he's serving in a depth role. Given that he was able to start the week practicing in some fashion, he seems like a good bet to play in Sunday's meeting with Washington.

Absent from injury report
Jackson (neck) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Jackson dealt with a neck injury during training camp but is apparently fully healthy heading into Week 1. He's expected to fill a depth role in the secondary for Buffalo to open the season, though there's a chance he could unseat Levi Wallace for a starting cornerback job at some point.

Back to work
Jackson (neck) was back at practice Wednesday sporting a red no-contact jersey, Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: It seems as if Jackson will be set to go when the Bills take on the Steelers in Week 1, though he probably didn't do enough this summer -- the untimely injury certainly didn't help -- to overtake Levi Wallace for the No. 2 cornerback spot. The Bills remain high on Jackson, however, so the 2020 seventh-rounder should see the field aplenty this season.

To compete for starter's spot
Jackson is expected to be the main challenger to Levi Wallace for the second starting cornerback job opposite TreDavious White, Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Jackson was chosen in the seventh round of the 2020 draft, and while he only saw action in five regular-season games, the Bills like what he brings to the table. GM Brandon Beane has stated that "right now those two guys will compete it out ... we're very content with those two guys and we'll see what happens" in referring to Wallace and Jackson being the clear frontrunners for that No. 2 spot. That said, Wallace has more experience, and while he's not much of a star, he's also never really let…read more

Week 17 promotion
Jackson has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against Miami, the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: The seventh-round rookie last suited up Week 10, but all signs point to the Bills using at least part of Sunday's game as a chance to rest up some starters, so Jackson could see some action in the regular-season finale.

Injures knee Sunday
Jackson (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Jackson has been forced off the field during just his third appearance of the season. With Levi Wallace (undisclosed) and Josh Norman (illness) both on the reserve/COVID-19 list and absent Sunday, Jackson's absence is a somewhat significant loss for Buffalo's secondary.

Quick return, off COVID list
Jackson was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: The rookie seventh-rounder can now join his new teammates and will try to win a job as a reserve cornerback in his first NFL season. Cornerback E.J. Gaines has already opted out for 2020, while star corner Tre'Davious White is considering it as of Thursday morning. Jackson may end up being more needed than the usual seventh-rounder, though there's little chance he'd ever start this early in his career.

Heads to COVID list
The Bills placed Jackson (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports
Analysis: Jackson is one of three Buffalo cornerbacks on the list, joining Siran Neal and Isiah Brown. Selected in the seventh round of April's draft, Jackson will have a delayed start to camp due to either testing positive for COVID-19 or having close contact with someone who did in the recent past.

Buffalo's final pick signs
Jackson has signed his rookie deal, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: The seventh-rounder from Pitt performs better on the field than his average size and below-average speed would indicate, accruing 43 pass breakups and four picks in his four seasons as a Panther. Jackson is probably not athletic enough to line up outside in the pros, but he may have the instincts and special teams ability to make the team as a depth defensive back.
