Shedrick Jackson: Everything you need to know

Jackson finished the 2025 season with four catches for 56 yards and a touchdown in five games. Jackson spent the majority of the season on Las Vegas' practice squad before joining the team's active roster in December. The 26-year-old saw playing time on both offense and special teams while logging his first career reception. He will look to be more involved in the Raiders' offense during the 2026 campaign.

Jackson caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants. Jackson played just eight offensive snaps in his fourth game of the season, but he managed to earn three targets while providing depth at wide receiver behind Tre Tucker, Dont'e Thornton and Tyler Lockett with Jack Bech sidelined for Sunday's contest due to a back injury. However, Jackson's already limited role could disappear if Bech manages to return for a Week 18 tilt against the Chiefs.

The Raiders signed Jackson from their practice squad to their active roster Wednesday. Jackson had already been elevated from the practice squad three times, so this move was necessary in order for him to suit up for the Raiders again this season. In his three contests with the club, the Auburn product has logged nine offensive snaps and caught his only target for a 25-yard touchdown. For the final two games of the campaign, Jackson should serve as a depth wideout and contribute on special teams.
