Jackson, who was serving a one-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy, had his suspension lifted Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson is currently a free agent and last played for the Patriots. The Maryland product had a rough 2023, which saw him benched by the Chargers, traded to New England where his struggles continued, and then placed on the reserve/non-football illness list due to personal issues.

Jackson has been suspended for the first game of the 2024 NFL season for violating the league's personal conduct policy, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per the report, Jackson -- who is currently a free agent -- is eligible to sign and participate in all preseason activities, with the cornerback's suspension set to take effect as of the upcoming roster reductions to 53 players. In 10 regular-season games last season (two with the Chargers and eight with the Patriots), Jackson combined for 28 tackles and an interception.

The Patriots announced Friday that Jackson (illness) is being released.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was reacquainted with the Patriots less than a year ago via a trade from the Chargers, but he was scheduled for a cap hit of over $14 million for the 2024 campaign. New England didn't specify that Jackson, who ended the 2023 season on the NFI list, is being cut with an injury designation, which would indicate that he's now healthy. Jackson's quality of play hasn't been the same since recovering from a ruptured patellar tendon in 2022, but he's still likely to garner interest on the open market.

The Patriots placed Jackson (personal) on the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson will now miss the remainder of the season as he continues to tend to personal matters. Myles Bryant should see increased playing time now that Jackson is out.

Jackson (personal) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Colts, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Jackson will be staying at home in Week 10 to work through personal issues. His next opportunity to suit up will come after New England's bye in Week 11.

Jackson is not expected to travel with the Patriots to Germany for Sunday's game against the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rapoport states that there are questions about Jackson's reliability and a decision was made to have him stay home, get through the bye and return in a better place. The Maryland product has appeared in five games for the Patriots this season, since being acquired from the Chargers on Oct. 4, playing 260 defensive snaps and making 14 tackles with three passes defended.

The Patriots acquired Jackson and a 2025 seventh-round draft pick from the Chargers on Wednesday in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson will be kicking off his second stint in New England, where he began his career as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He emerged as one of the game's top cornerbacks during his time with the Patriots, recording 25 interceptions in four seasons before bolting for Los Angeles in free agency following the season on a five-year, $82.5 million deal. He never appeared to be a good fit with the Chargers, however, as he missed extensive time with a ruptured patellar tendon in 2022 and struggled in coverage in the first two games of 2023 before being a healthy inactive the past two weeks. Since Jackson's deal contains no guaranteed money beyond this season, the Patriots won't take on much risk by bringing him aboard, and the return to a familiar scheme could help rejuvenate the 27-year-old. Jackson may even be a candidate to move into a starting role right away with rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez out indefinitely with a torn labrum and dislocated shoulder.

Jackson will be active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was a healthy scratch in last week's 28-24 victory over the Vikings. Whatever issues he had have seemingly been put behind him. Barring something unforeseen, he is set to provide depth at cornerback when the Raiders come to town.

Jackson is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

The cornerback is out for this Week 3 contest despite not having a listed injury. Jackson played 44 snaps in a Week 1 loss to the Dolphins and 41 in a Week 2 defeat to Tennessee. The sixth-year pro and Second Team All-Pro in 2021 missed a majority of the 2022 season after rupturing his patellar tendon.

Jackson did not record a tackle, but he did register three pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 36-34 loss to the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson only played 44 defensive snaps, fewest among the Chargers' starting trio of corners. Daniel Popper of The Athletic reported Jackson had been removed from the game late in the fourth quarter and the assumption was that it was due to some sort of injury. Instead, it seems as if Jackson was effectively benched for Ja'Sir Taylor, although Wednesday's injury report could be telling. Jackson ruptured his patellar tendon back in Week 7 of 2022, and his performance in Week 1 certainly seemed like a player still working himself back into game shape. While he did record an interception, the veteran made a boneheaded play taking it out of the end zone, costing the Chargers nearly 20 yards in field position. Jackson also inexplicably caused a pass interference on the final play of the first half, needlessly giving away a free field goal on a ball that had zero chance of making it to the end zone. Jackson's massive contract will likely afford him more opportunities, but Week 1 was a difficult look for the former Pro Bowler.
