Suspended FS Tanard Jackson remains under contract with the Redskins for 2013.

Jackson, suspended indefinitely for multiple violations of the NFL's substance abuse policy, had his $700,000 base salary from 2012 "tolled" into 2013. He is eligible for reinstatement beginning on August 31. The Redskins can't be counting on Jackson. Anything they get from him should be considered a big bonus.

Redskins FS Tanard Jackson has been suspended indefinitely for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.

Per FOX Sports' Jay Glazer, Jackson's status will not be re-evaluated until 2013. According to beat writer John Keim, the Redskins had been waiting a "long time" to learn Jackson's status, suggesting they knew such a ban was possible. Jackson, of course, was suspended for all of 2010 for violating the NFL's drug policy. He had been competing with Madieu Williams and DeJon Gomes at free safety. Although Jackson is still only 27, a second year-long ban is going to threaten his career.

Redskins FS Tanard Jackson (shoulder surgery) has been activated from the active/PUP list.

It means Jackson has been cleared to practice, and will no longer be eligible to begin the year on the reserve/PUP list. Jackson will compete with Madieu Williams and DeJon Gomes for the Redskins' starting free safety job. Jackson would do well to display improved tackling skills early in camp, as he was perhaps the single worst player in the league against the run last season.

Redskins FS Tanard Jackson (shoulder surgery) has begun camp on the active/PUP list.

Jackson originally estimated he'd be ready to roll by June 1 following his January rotator cuff operation. Jackson can be activated at any time, but could get buried behind Madieu Williams and DeJon Gomes on the depth chart if he's out for long.

Redskins signed FS Tanard Jackson, formerly of the Buccaneers.

That didn't take long. The Redskins were fully expected to consider Jackson now that former Bucs coach Raheem Morris is running the secondary. Turning 27 in July, Jackson is worth the risk as long as it's a low-cost deal. He will likely compete with Madieu Williams and DeJon Gomes for the starting free safety job. Jackson's signing certainly hurts Williams' chances of making the team.

Free agent FS Tanard Jackson attributed his poor tackling last season to playing through a torn rotator cuff.

Jackson had surgery in January and expects to be healthy by June 1. "Man, my shoulder been injured since '09 and something that I put off and I played through a series of injuries," he said. "Not to make excuses for the way I played, but I had a lot of injuries last year, two bad hamstrings and a torn rotator cuff." Jackson was released by the Bucs on Tuesday. He could resurface with old coach Raheem Morris, who now coaches DBs in Washington.
