EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old led the Panthers' defense in total tackles during Sunday's loss, eclipsing double-digit stops for the first time this season.

Across 16 appearances this season, Jackson has recorded 61 total tackles, 19 passes defensed (most in the NFL), including four interceptions, and one forced fumble. He's expected to start opposite Jaycee Horn to form one of the league's best outside cornerback duos in the Week 18 matchup against the Buccaneers on Saturday.

Jackson (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson carries an injury designation into Sunday's game despite being a full participant in all three of Carolina's practices. The starting outside cornerback looks more likely than not to suit up, but additional opportunities could be available for Corey Thornton if Jackson is sidelined or limited.

Jackson agreed to a two-year, $14.5-million contract with the Panthers on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a big payday for the 2019 fifth-round pick of the Cowboys, who has played on five teams since getting drafted and on one-year deals for the last three seasons. In 2024, Jackson earned a starting job with the Panthers and never gave it up, recording career highs in defensive snaps (1,140), tackles (76), pass breakups (17) and interceptions (two).

Jackson tallied 76 total tackles and 17 passes defended, including two interceptions, over 17 games in 2024.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was a late addition to the Panthers' first-team defense but emerged as one of the team's most consistent players throughout the year. The 27-year-old set career highs in total tackles, passes defended and interceptions during his first season with the Panthers, playing the most defensive snaps of his career (1,140). Jackson signed a one-year, $1.2 million deal with the Seahawks last spring before being traded to Carolina in late August, making him an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He could re-sign with the Panthers after starting all 17 games this season, but he's also likely to draw significant interest from contending teams in need of secondary help following his strong 2024 campaign.

Jackson recorded 10 total tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
The first-year Panther was one of three players with double-digit stops in Sunday's loss, tying Josey Jewell as the team's second-leading tackler behind Demani Richardson's 11-stop effort. Jackson has now recorded 43 total tackles and six passes defended, including one interception, across the Panthers' first eight games this season. He's expected to continue starting opposite Jaycee Horn as part of Carolina's top outside cornerback duo in Week 9, when the Panthers host the Saints.

Jackson logged nine total tackles (all solo) and defended three passes, including one interception, during Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson had one of the best games of his six-year NFL career Sunday, as he lead the Panthers in total tackles and passes defended while also picking off Gardner Minshew in the fourth quarter. The first-year Panther has impressed through his first three games in Carolina, recording 17 total tackles and four passes defended over 186 defensive snaps. Expect Jackson to continue lining up opposite Jaycee Horn, creating problems for opposing quarterbacks as the season progresses.
