Expecting to play Week 1 Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Jackson (lower body) is on track to play in Week 1 at Indianapolis, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Jackson picked up a lower-body injury during training camp earlier in August, but it seems as though he's recovered well since then. His participation at practice ahead of the start of the regular season will be worth monitoring, especially given Miami's depth at offensive line is suspect to begin 2025.

Impact Jackson becomes the leader of a group introducing a new starter at right guard in James Daniels (Achilles), and relying on 2024 second-round pick Patrick Paul to develop into a starting-quality left tackle after a rough rookie year. With Jackson now healthy after having his 2024 campaign cut short due to a knee injury, per Josh Houtz of The Phinsider, Miami's chances of avoiding disastrously low quality O-line play rest in no small part on the right tackle's shoulders.
