The Commanders signed Jackson to a reserve/future contract Tuesday. Jackson was signed to the Commanders' practice squad mid-December after spending most of the 2024 regular season recovering from an undisclosed injury that caused him to be waived by the Giants during training camp in mid-August. By signing a futures deal, Jackson will be on the Commanders' 90-man roster when the new league year starts March 12. That gives him the opportunity to participate in OTAS, minicamp and training camp in the hopes of catching on with the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.

The Commanders signed Jackson to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Washington signed Jackson to its practice squad Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Jackson was cut by the Giants with an injury designation ahead of the start of the regular season, but he's now getting a chance with their division rival. With starter Zach Ertz dealing with a concussion after Sunday's game at New Orleans, it's easy to see why the Commanders would add a depth option at tight end.
Seattle worked out Jackson (undisclosed) on Wednesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports. The Giants waived Jackson from IR with an injury settlement prior to the start of the regular season, but his tryout Wednesday indicates he's back in football shape. With regular starter Noah Fant dealing with a groin issue, it makes some sense that the Seahawks are exploring depth options at tight end.
Jackson (undisclosed) was waived from IR with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jackson reverted to IR on Saturday after he was waived with an injury designation Friday. He'll now have a chance to avoid missing the 2024 season and can sign with any team once he proves himself healthy.
Jackson (undisclosed) reverted to the Giants' injured-reserve list Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jackson was waived with an injury designation Friday and has now landed on IR after going unclaimed. He'll therefore be required to sit out the entire 2024 campaign unless he and New York agree on an injury settlement.
Jackson (undisclosed) was waived by the Giants on Friday with an injury designation, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports. Although as of this past week he was New York's emergency third-string quarterback, Jackson will be sent to waivers. In the event he clears waivers, the 6-foot-7 tight end will revert to IR and miss the entire season unless an injury settlement is agreed upon.
