Tyree Jackson: Everything you need to know

The Commanders placed Jackson (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday. Jackson had signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January but will now be forced to miss the entire season unless he's waived with an injury settlement. He last appeared in a game during the 2023 campaign with Giants and may have to wait until 2026 to make his return.

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.

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.
