Jackson (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson hurt his ankle Week 12 against Green Bay and didn't play the following Sunday versus Seattle. However, he was able to return to action this past Sunday against Washington and played all 64 of the Vikings' offensive snaps. With a full practice under his belt Thursday, Jackson should be good to face the Cowboys this Sunday.

Jackson (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was sidelined in Week 13 at Seattle with the ankle injury he suffered in Week 12 at Green Bay, and it seems his availability in Week 14 is close to a coin-flip proposition. If he can't suit up Sunday, Blake Brandel would project to make another start at guard.

He didn't practice to begin this week of prep, but a limited session Thursday improves his outlook for Sunday's game against Washington.
