Jackson (groin) isn't listed on the Chargers' practice report Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson hurt his groin Sunday versus the Cowboys and was unable to finish the game. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that the veteran cornerback was considered day-to-day, but his absence from the team's first practice report of the week suggests Jackson's injury is a thing of the past. He should thus be able to take on his usual starting role Saturday versus Houston.

Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Jackson (groin) is viewed as day-to-day, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was injured in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Cowboys, but it appears as if he avoided a major injury. Benjamin St-Juste stepped in for Jackson but suffered a shoulder injury of his own and is also considered day-to-day, according to Harbaugh.

Jackson (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson sustained a groin injury in the second quarter, and he stayed in the locker room after halftime to be evaluated by medical staff. Benjamin St-Juste will likely step into a more prominent role in the Chargers' secondary for as long as Jackson is out of the game.

Jackson registered three solo tackles and a pass defense during Friday's 27-21 win over the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson made a critical pass deflection on a Patrick Mahomes' pass to Hollywood Brown late in the second quarter, which forced the Chiefs to settle for a 59-yard field goal two plays later. Jackson played 45 of 61 defensive snaps Friday, which was more than fellow starter Cam Hart (39). Next up for Jackson and the Chargers is a second-straight AFC West bout against the Raiders on Monday, Sept. 15.

Jackson signed a two-year, $13 million deal with the Chargers on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The LSU product is coming off one of the best seasons of his career, recording 38 total tackles and eight passes defended, including a career-high five interceptions, over 15 regular-season games with the Steelers in 2024. With Jackson now in Los Angeles, he's expected to start opposite Kristian Fulton as part of the Chargers' top cornerback duo in 2025.

Jackson registered 38 tackles (28 solo) and eight pass defenses, including five interceptions, over 15 games during the 2024 regular season.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson's first year in Pittsburgh following six seasons with Carolina was overall a success, as he paced the team with five pickoffs, which was also his career-best mark. The LSU product mostly avoided injuries, though he did miss two games near the end of the campaign with a back issue. Jackson was playing on a one-year contract and will be a free agent this offseason.

Jackson (back) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson wasn't able to play in the Steelers' regular-season finale against the Bengals due to a back injury. His full participation in Pittsburgh's official practice of the week indicates that he has moved past the injury and should be able to play in the wild-card game against Baltimore on Saturday. Jackson played 15 games in the regular season as the starting outside corner opposite Joey Porter, and the former finished with 38 tackles (28 solo), eight pass defenses (including five interceptions) and one fumble recovery.

Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bengals, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was limited in the last two practices of the week due to a lingering back issue, and he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to play in Saturday's regular-season finale. Cory Trice will likely start at outside corner alongside Joey Porter, and the duo will be responsible for slowing down the superstar wideout duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Jackson (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to a lingering back injury, which caused him to be limited in the final two practices of the week. The Steelers are getting Joey Porter back for Saturday's regular-season finale, so Cory Trice would likely fill in as the second starting outside corner if Jackson is unable to play.
