Signs with Buffalo Jackson agreed to a one-year deal with the Bills on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Jackson will return to Buffalo after spending one season in Carolina, where he played in nine games including three starts, following a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve to begin the year. The 28-year-old corner is expected to provide much needed production for Buffalo's secondary, a unit likely to see additional competition through free agency or the draft in the coming weeks, following the departure of Kaiir Elam and with Rasul Douglas currently a unrestricted free agent.

Let go by Carolina The Panthers released Jackson on Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jackson struggled in his first season with the Panthers, appearing in just nine games and recording 23 total tackles and two passes defended. The veteran cornerback's playing time decreased as the year progressed, as he played more than 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps just one time over his last five appearances, which suggests Carolina is prioritizing youth in the secondary heading into 2025. Jackson, who posted 96 total tackles and 17 passes defended over 30 regular-season games with the Bills from 2022 to 2023, will likely be picked up soon by a team in need of secondary help.

Underwhelms in Carolina Jackson recorded 23 total tackles and two passes defended over nine games in 2024.

Impact Jackson signed a two-year, $8.5 million deal with the Panthers last offseason after posting 96 total tackles, two forced fumbles and 17 passes defended, including two interceptions, over his final two seasons in Buffalo. The Pittsburgh product missed six of the Panthers' first seven games due to a hamstring injury and failed to find a rhythm in his first season in Carolina, playing a reserve role when healthy. With Michael Jackson set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Jackson could see an increased role on the Panthers' defense in 2025, potentially starting opposite Jaycee Horn.

Ready to rock Jackson (hamstring) was removed from the Panthers' injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

Impact Jackson had been dealing with a hamstring issue that held him out of the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Broncos; however, being removed from Friday's injury report suggests he's completely past the issue. Expect the first-year Panther to serve as one of Carolina's top rotational cornerbacks in Week 9.

Not playing vs. Denver Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Jackson was able to play through a hamstring injury during the Panthers' Week 7 game against the Commanders, but he will not suit up Sunday. Caleb Farley will be the primary backup option at corner behind starters Jaycee Horn and Michael Jackson.

OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Sunday Jackson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

Impact Jackson upgraded to limited work Friday after logging consecutive DNP's to begin the Panthers' week of practice, suggesting he's trending in the right direction. However, his doubtful designation indicates that his chances of suiting up in Week 8 remain minimal. If Jackson is sidelined as expected, expect Shemar Bartholomew to see increased work in Carolina's secondary.

Logs DNP Jackson (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Jackson made his season debut in this past Sunday's loss to the Commanders, playing 51 percent of the Panthers' snaps on defense and making four combined tackles. Assuming the Pittsburgh product didn't aggravate the injury during the game, it's likely his DNP was more for maintenance purposes. However, his practice status Thursday or Friday could be worth monitoring ahead of a Week 8 matchup with the Broncos.

Activated from IR The Panthers activated Jackson (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jackson opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury he sustained during training camp. His practice window opened Oct. 2, and while he wasn't able to play Week 5 and 6, his activation from IR on Saturday indicates he could be available for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Opens week with full participation Jackson (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Jackson was designated to return from injured reserve on Oct. 2, and Wednesday's full practice suggests he could play in the Panthers' Week 7 matchup against the Commanders. However, the first-year Panther must still be activated to Carolina's active roster in order to suit up Sunday.

OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not returning Week 6 Jackson (hamstring) was downgraded to out Saturday ahead of Sunday's contest versus Atlanta, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Jackson is working his way back from a hamstring strain that landed him on IR prior to the start of the season. The cornerback's practice window opened Oct. 2, so the Panthers have until Oct. 23 to either activate him or rule him out for the remainder of the campaign. Jackson entered the weekend with a designation of questionable after logging an FP/LP/LP practice progression during the week, so there's a decent chance he'll be able to play Week 7 versus Washington assuming he hasn't suffered a setback.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable for Sunday Jackson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Jackson's questionable status is good news, considering he's been serving time on injured reserve the entire season. The 5th year cornerback will need to be activated off IR in order to play against the Falcons, but that will likely be done on Sunday if he's trending in the right direction.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Full go Wednesday Jackson (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Jackson logged a full practice session for the first time since being designated to return from injured reserve Oct. 2. It appears the first-year Panther is nearing a return to the field, but he must be activated to Carolina's active roster in order to suit up in the team's Week 6 matchup against the Falcons.
