Jackson recorded 24 tackles (16 solo) and 12 passes defensed, including four interceptions, over 17 regular-season games in 2025.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson's four-interception total is the second best of his eight-year career, with only his 2024 season with the Steelers netting a higher total (five). Jackson has one more year on his contract with the Chargers and will likely continue operating as the starting outside cornerback for the team in 2026.

Jackson (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was listed as limited Wednesday due to an ankle injury sustained Week 18 against the Broncos, but barring any setbacks, it looks like he's fully on track for Sunday's wild-card round matchup on the road against New England. Expect Jackson to handle his usual starting role versus Drake Maye and the Patriots.

Jackson (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson hurt his ankle in the Bolts' regular-season finale at Denver, and he's apparently still not back to full strength as the team begins its preparations for a wild card matchup at New England. He'll likely need to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

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.
