Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bears, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson missed the team's Week 3 contest against the Eagles due to a back injury, but he was able to return the following week and suited up for back-to-back contests. However, he played a season-low 14 defensive snaps in Week 5 and was limited Tuesday due to a back injury after being a full participant during Monday's walkthrough. The extent of the situation remains unclear, but given it appears to be a reoccurring thing, the Commanders have opted to proceed with caution and ruled Jackson out for Week 6. His next chance to play will come after the team's Week 7 bye against the Packers on Oct. 23. In his absence, Rachad Wildgoose figures to draw the start opposite of Kendall Fuller in Washington's secondary.

Jackson (back) was listed as a full participant on the Commanders' injury report Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson popped up late on Washington's game status report and was ultimately ruled inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles. However, the sixth-year cornerback seems to have gotten over his apparent back issue given his return during the first practice of Week 4. Jackson recorded 11 tackles and one pass defended over the first two weeks, and he'll reprise his starting role opposite Kendall Fuller moving forward.

Jackson (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson landed on the team's injury report Saturday with a back issue and ultimately won't suit up in Week 3. Through the first two games of the season, the free-agent signee has operated as the starting cornerback opposite of Kendall Fuller, so in his absence, rookies Christian Holmes and Tariq Castro-Fields may be thrust into expanded roles against Philadelphia.

Jackson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Philadelphia, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Jackson picked up the injury or how serious it is, pending further updates from the team. If for some reason he can't play Sunday, rookies Tariq Castro-Fields and Christian Holmes could be in line to see their first defensive snaps in the NFL.

Jackson (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has recovered from the calf injury and missed the final game of the season after testing positive for COVID-19 last week. The 29-year-old inked a three-year, $40.5 million deal with Washington last March and totaled 39 tackles (36 solo) and two interceptions in 12 games.

Jackson (illness) said Monday he's fully recovered from the calf injury and would have played in Sunday's season finale if he hadn't landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson tested positive for the virus last week and remains on the COVID list after missing Sunday's win over the Giants. The 29-year-old appeared in 12 games during his first season in Washington and totaled 39 tackles (36 solo) and two interceptions.

Washington placed Jackson (calf/illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson missed the last two games due to a calf injury, and he'll now be forced to isolate from the team. Per Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston, every player that landed on the COVID-19 list Wednesday tested positive for the virus, so his status for Sunday's matchup against the Giants remains up in the air.

Jackson (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Eagles, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson missed the team's Week 16 loss to the Cowboys and missed the first two practices ahead of Week 17, so it's no surprise to see him ruled out for a second straight game. With Darryl Roberts possibily sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols, Danny Johnson is expected to step into a starting role.

Jackson (calf) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was absent from practice for a second straight day after he missed Sunday's loss to Dallas. It appears as though he's trending toward a second straight absence Sunday against the Eagles, but he could have a chance to return if he practices in some capacity Friday.

Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Matthew Paras of The Washington Times, coach Ron Rivera said Jackson could be sidelined beyond this weekend, so the cornerback's availability for Week 17 is also in question. Darryl Roberts and Danny Johnson should see more playing time in his absence.
