Panthers lose starting CB Donte Jackson for the season
The Carolina Panthers have lost starting cornerback Donte Jackson for the remainder of the season to a groin injuryNOVEMBER 30, 2021
Panthers CB Donte Jackson out for remainder of 2021 season with groin injury Jackson has started every game for Carolina this year, including playing 68 defensive snaps during the team’s Week 12 loss at Miami
NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Done for the season The Panthers moved Jackson (groin) to injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Impact Jackson suffered a groin injury during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, and an MRI undergone Monday revealed the extent of the issue. The starting cornerback, who has two interceptions through 12 appearances this season, will thus turn his attention toward getting fully healthy for 2022. This offseason, Jackson is set to become an unrestricted free agent.

Hits double digits Jackson finished with 11 tackles (10 solo) and defended a pass in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Impact Jackson's issues in coverage again resulted in him racking up the tackles, as he's now made 20 over the past two weeks. The veteran has also defended a pass in three straight games, giving him 10 on the season, but he'll strive to shore up his coverage when the Panthers return from their bye.

Struggles in coverage Jackson finished with eight tackles (six solo) and defended a pass in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.
Impact Jackson placed second on the Panthers in stops, but that partially came because of his struggles in coverage and subsequent need to tackle after allowing receptions. Although Jackson did break one pass up, he'll strive for an improved showing in Week 12 versus the Dolphins.

Gets interception in defeat Jackson finished with six tackles (four solo), an interception and a forced fumble in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Eagles.
Impact Jackson showed his nose for the ball in the third quarter, stripping opposing wideout DeVonta Smith before picking off Jalen Hurts on a badly overthrown pass on the very next drive. For good measure, Jackson also ranked second on the Panthers in tackles Sunday. Despite Carolina recently adding cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore (quadriceps) and CJ Henderson, expect the playmaking Jackson to maintain an important role in the first-team defense going forward.
