Jackson's knee issue is not thought to be a long-term injury, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
That said, with the Bucs on a short week, Jackson's status for Thursday's game against the Rams is unclear at this stage, per the Tampa Tribune.

Jackson is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Saints due to a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has suffered through a knee injury for much of the season, even missing three contests along the way, but a doubtful return indicates that he's dealing with a serious concern. With the veteran perhaps out for some time, Jameis Winston will instead rely upon Mike Evans and Austin Seferian-Jenkins, to name a couple, to power the Buccaneers' passing attack.

Jackson (knee) is active Sunday against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has now played 53 or more snaps in three straight weeks, and after logging full practices both Thursday and Friday, he should be near full capacity for Sunday's matchup. Look for the Buccaneers passing attack to be active Week 14, as they'll be taking on a Saints defense that checks in at No. 31 in the league, allowing 287.3 yards per game through the air.

Jackson (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Following full practice sessions Thursday and Friday, Jackson should be ready for his usual workload in Sunday's top-notch matchup. He may even see more targets than usual, as the Saints could opt to shadow Mike Evans with top cornerback Delvin Breaux, which would leave Jackson matched up with a struggling Brandon Browner for much of the game. There's no assurance that will actually happen, but it's a possibility worth considering.

Jackson (knee) practiced in full Thursday, the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson followed up a limited practice Wednesday with an unhinged showing just one day later, which all but confirms his Week 14 availability. With just three touchdowns in nine games, he'll attempt to make it four against a Saints defense that's allowed an NFL-worst 20 touchdowns to wide receivers this season (also, the Eagles).

Jackson (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing three mid-season outings due to a knee injury, Jackson may remain a staple of Buccaneer injury reports for the remainder of the campaign. His ability to take part in individual drills Wednesday implies that he'll build up his rep count as the week rolls on, but Friday's injury report will ultimately provide the final word on his availability for Sunday's game versus the Saints.

Jackson was in on 53 snaps in Tampa's Week 13 victory over the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran receiver put together a solid performance that included a season-long 36-yard reception. Jackson has demonstrated that he can still get downfield this season, and his current 16.8 yards per catch metric is his highest since the 19.2 he posted in his 2012 debut season in Tampa.

Jackson (knee) secured three of five targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 23-19 victory over the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson posted his best performance since his season-high 147 yard outburst versus the Panthers in Week 4, and also had a season-best 36-yard reception. The veteran receiver's targets were reduced in half as compared to the 10 looks he received in Week 12, but that elevated number was partly due to the Bucs trying to close a two-score deficit in the last six minutes of that game. Although his overall numbers will be down at season's end due to Jackson having missed at least three games with injuries, his 15.6 yards per catch metric is notably better than last season's 14.3 figure. Jackson and the rest of his offensive teammates have an opportunity for a big day in Tampa's Week 14 home tilt against the Saints.

Jackson (knee) is active Sunday against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has now taken the field in back-to-back weeks, leaving little doubt about his Week 13 availability, especially after logging a full practice Friday. He and Mike Evans will serve as the primary options in the passing game against an Atlanta defense that has surrendered 241.5 yards through the air per game this season (No. 15 in the league).

Jackson (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Falcons
EDGE Analysis
Jackson increased his practice participation throughout the week, culminating in a full session Friday. His knee doesn't appear to be much of an issue, but he has already had a hard time getting consistent targets, and it now appears TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins (back) is nearing a return. Jackson has seen double-digit targets in three of his eight appearances this season, but with just 20 combined targets in the other five games.
