The Seahawks released Jackson on Thursday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

A transaction that made sense for the Seahawks, the team decided to part ways with Jackson likely due to a combination of his age, lingering knee concerns and his hefty salary cap number ($11.3 million) for this coming season. The 335-pounder started in 31 games for Seattle across the previous two campaigns, and he'll now look elsewhere to continue his playing career.

Jackson (hip/knee) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson suffered a hip injury during the team's Week 5 loss to the Saints, causing him to miss the last two games as a result. However, his ability to practice in full Thursday suggests he'll be ready to reclaim his usual starting spot at right guard Sunday against the Giants. Phil Haynes -- who started the last two weeks in place of Jackson -- will likely revert back to a depth role for Seattle's offensive line.

Jackson (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson's absence will push Phil Haynes into the starting right guard job against the Chargers on Sunday. He'll work to return in Week 8 against the Giants.

Jackson has exited Sunday's game with the Saints due to a hip flexor injury, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson's absence will leave a hole at right guard for the Seahawks while he is out of the game. Phil Haynes should handle the position while Jackson is sidelined.

Jackson (rest) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson didn't participate during Wednesday's session due to a veteran rest day, but he returned in full capacity Thursday. He'll continue operating in his usual role as the team's starting right guard when Seattle hosts the Falcons on Sunday.

Jackson (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson has spent most of the summer recovering from offseason knee surgery, but his ability to practice in full Thursday suggests the issue is now a thing of the past. Expect the 335-pounder to reclaim his starting role at right guard when Seattle hosts the Broncos on Monday night.

Coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that Jackson has been sitting out of Seattle's minicamp while recovering from offseason knee surgery, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports

EDGE Analysis

Jackson started every game last season before missing Seattle's Week 17 matchup while sitting out with an unspecified knee injury. Carroll did not go into depth about the extent of the 30-year-old's surgery, but the procedure was likely undergone to address whatever knee issue ailed Jackson by the end of the season. Jackson is entering his second offseason in Seattle and, barring any potential setbacks, should return retain the team's starting right guard spot in 2022.

Jackson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson has served as Seattle's starting right guard throughout the season, but he was unable to practice leading up to Sunday's game due to a knee injury. Dakoda Shepley figures to take over at right guard in Jackson's absence.

Jackson was traded from the Raiders to the Seahawks on Wednesday in exchange for a 2021 fifth-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Raiders were expected to release the 29-year-old but were instead able to find a trade partner. Jackson started all 16 games for Las Vegas last season and should remain in a starting role with Seattle.

The Raiders informed Jackson of his release on Wednesday, NFL reporter Josina Anderson reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson had been a starter for the Raiders for the last seven years, but he'll now explore his options elsewhere after Las Vegas elected to cut him. The transaction frees up $9.6 million in cap space without any dead money for Las Vegas. Jackson, who will turn 30 in July, is a solid pass blocker who should draw a fair number of suitors as a free agent.
