Jackson (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson is apparently still bothered by his hamstring after a Week 10 bye, having suffered the injury Week 9 in his Ravens debut. He caught one of two targets for 16 yards in the contest, playing 11 snaps on offense in a 27-13 win over the Saints.

Jackson (hamstring) reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's Transaction Log.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was elevated to Baltimore's active roster prior to Monday night's win over the Saints, and he caught one of two targets for 16 yards across 11 offensive snaps played in the contest. However, the 35-year-old suffered a minor soft-tissue injury during the game, leaving his Week 11 availability against the Panthers in question. Since the Ravens have a Week 10 bye, Jackson will seemingly spend the next week and a half recovering and getting familiar with the team's playbook. With fellow wide receiver Rashod Bateman set to miss the remainder of the 2022-23 season due to a foot injury, the veteran will likely receive another promotion to Baltimore's 53-man roster sooner rather than later.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said that Jackson was forced out with a minor soft-tissue injury during Monday's 27-13 win against the Saints, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson appears to have picked up this issue at some point during this contest, as he did not come into Monday with any injury designation. Harbaugh added that the team wanted to avoid rushing the 15-year wideout back with the Ravens up by at least two scores for much of this win. While Jackson did not record a noteworthy stat line after being elevated from Baltimore's practice squad for the first time in 2022, he could continue to supplement the team's wide receiver corps with Rashod Bateman (foot) expected to miss the remainder of the season on IR. The veteran Jackson will have an extra week to recover before the Ravens' next contest against Carolina on Sunday, Nov. 20.

Jackson is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Saints with a hamstring injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson caught one pass for 16 yards before injuring his hamstring at some point against New Orleans, though the nature and severity of this issue still are unclear. The 35-year-old wideout was making his 2022 debut after being elevated from the Ravens' practice squad ahead of this Week 9 contest. With Rashod Bateman (foot) on IR and Tylan Wallace (coach's decision) inactive, there's a chance Binjimen Victor steps into a bigger role behind wide receivers Devin Duvernay, Demarcus Robinson and James Proche on Monday.

Jackson has been elevated from the Ravens' practice squad ahead of Monday night's game against the Saints, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Rashod Bateman (foot) out for the season and Demarcus Robinson (groin) questionable for Monday night's contest, Jackson will give the Ravens some added depth behind top wideout Devin Duvernay, joining a Week 9 WR corps that also includes James Proche, Tylan Wallace and Binjimen Victor, the latter of whom was elevated from the practice squad as well. While Jackson isn't a high-percentage fantasy option in his looming season debut, the 35-year-old could make his mark in the coming weeks if he's able to establish himself as a viable deep threat in Baltimore's offense.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Thursday that it's a "good possibility" that Jackson will be elevated from the practice squad for Monday's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson signed with the Ravens on Oct. 19, but he wasn't added to the 53-man active roster ahead of either of the past two games. The 35-year-old speedster looks like he'll finally get an opportunity to dress Monday, and a strong performance versus New Orleans could bolster his chances of earning a permanent spot on the 53-man roster once he's exhausted his three elevations from the practice squad. Baltimore has a need for a downfield threat to complement new No. 1 wideout Devin Duvernay after Harbaugh announced Thursday that Rashod Bateman (foot) will require season-ending Lisfranc surgery.

Jackson officially signed his contract with the Ravens on Wednesday and will join the team's practice squad, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson will be eligible to be elevated for games up to three times before the Ravens would have to permanently sign him to the 53-man roster. Depending on how he looks during practices this week in addition to the status of fellow wideout Rashod Bateman (foot) -- who has missed the Ravens' last two games -- Jackson could get the chance to suit up for Baltimore as soon as this Sunday against Cleveland. The 14-year veteran appeared in 16 games between stops with the Rams and Raiders in 2021, logging 20 receptions for 454 yards and two touchdowns.

Jackson agreed Tuesday to a deal with the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Ravens have yet to officially confirm Jackson's signing, so it's unclear if he'll end up on the active roster or practice squad off the bat. If it's the latter, he'd be eligible for three elevations to the game-day roster before the Ravens would have to sign him as a permanent member of the 53-man roster. A 14-year pro, Jackson split time between the Rams and Raiders in 2021, appearing in 16 games and recording 20 receptions for 454 yards and two touchdowns on 34 targets.

Jackson was not targeted in the Raiders' 35-32 overtime victory over the Chargers in Week 18.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson logged less than 10 offensive snaps in Las Vegas' regular-season finale, failing to draw a single target from quarterback Derek Carr for the first time since Week 11. Through nine games with the Raiders, Jackson has hauled in 12 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown on 19 total targets. His playing time will likely remain limited in the team's upcoming playoff matchup against the Bengals.

Jackson caught one of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has seen at least three targets in three consecutive contests, but this has translated to just six total catches for 60 yards. He's found the end zone only once though eight games as a Raider, while Hunter Renfrow and Zay Jones continue to pace the team's receiving corps in production ahead of a Week 18 tilt against the Chargers.
