Jackson was elevated from Cleveland's practice squad as a COVID-19 replacement ahead of Monday's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old birthday boy will provide some depth at the defensive end position, as both Jadeveon Clowney and Ifeadi Odenigbo remain on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Jackson has 11 tackles and one sack this season.

Jackson was signed to the Browns' active roster Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson, a 2019 fifth-round selection, has played in every game for the Browns this season. His snaps have been mostly limited, but he did perk up to a 45 percent snap share in Week 5, when he recorded two tackles. Jackson will look to make a bigger impact moving forward.

Jackson (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old landed on the COVID-19 list in late November but has since cleared the league protocols. Jackson has been a healthy scratch since Week 4, so he may not play this weekend even though he's back on the active roster.

Jackson (undisclosed) won't return from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old landed on the COVID-19 list Tuesday and will be unavailable for at least one game. Jackson hasn't seen game action since Week 4, so Cleveland's defense shouldn't be affected by his absence.

Jackson (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The team didn't specify whether Jackson tested positive for the virus or if he's a high-risk close contact of an infected individual, but he won't be available Week 12 regardless. The 23-year-old has been a healthy scratch since Week 4, so his absence shouldn't impact Cleveland's gameplan.

The Browns claimed Jackson off waivers from the Cowboys on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being selected in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Jackson played in just five games for the Cowboys and recorded four tackles. He's buried on the depth chart in Cleveland as well, so he'll likely have minimal impact barring a slew of injuries.

The Cowboys selected Jackson in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 165th overall.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson (6-foot-4, 275 pounds) is a Miami (FL) product who produced well as a three-year starter, totaling 24 sacks and 37.5 tackles for loss in that span. The problem is that Jackson is all skill, no athleticism, as he's not particularly big by defensive end standards but is a well below average athlete at the position (4.86-second 40, 28.5-inch vertical). If he makes the team his best fit might be as an inside rusher in nickel situations.
