Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with the Commanders in October of 2025.
Sent to IR
The Commanders placed Jackson (foot) on injured reserve Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson inked a deal with Washington on Wednesday but apparently still needs more time to recover from the serious knee injury that forced him to miss all of the 2024 campaign and half of 2023. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that this was always the Commanders' plan, and that the team intends for Jackson to get healthy and provide a late-season boost.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Year 3 breakout candidate
Jackson could break out with a larger role in his third NFL season on San Francisco's revamped defensive front, according to Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers parted ways with Arik Armstead, Chase Young, Javon Kinlaw and Clelin Ferrell in the offseason, and while the team brought in veteran Leonard Floyd, there should still be more opportunities left over for Jackson to take on a larger role. With Nick Bosa drawing consistent double teams, Jackson could thrive as a pass rusher in one-on-one matchups. Jackson had 3.0 sacks and 14 pressures in 2023 but didn't play after Week 8 due to a knee injury.
