New England placed Jackson (knee) on its injured reserve list Tuesday. He'll now have to sit out for the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Patriots. In his absence, David Wallis could see an increase in reps at practice.
New England head coach Jerod Mayo said X-rays on Jackson (knee) came back negative, but he'll get an MRI on Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Jackson suffered a non-contact knee injury in New England's Thursday preseason game against Philadelphia. The X-rays coming back negative is a positive for the wide receiver, but the MRI results should provide more insight on the nature and severity of the issue.
Jackson (leg) was ruled out for the rest of the Patriots' preseason game against the Eagles on Thursday, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports. Jackson suffered what appeared to be a non-contact injury, per Kadlick. Jackson did not catch a pass before exiting. The wide receiver went undrafted in April and is competing for a depth role with New England.
The Patriots signed Jackson on Thursday. The Rutgers product has found a home in New England after he was dropped by the Falcons just two days ago. Jackson went undrafted this past April and will now compete for a depth role in the Patriots' wide receiver room as the offseason progresses.
Jackson was waived by the Falcons on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jackson linked up with the Falcons earlier in the spring as an undrafted free agent out of Rutgers. He'll now have to find a new opportunity if he plans to suit up for an NFL team in 2024.
