CB Dane Jackson has been placed on the Reserve/Retired list.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson had signed with Jacksonville back in early June.

Jacksonville signed Jackson on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was released by Buffalo back in March, but now he's getting a fresh start with his third different team in as many years. He only appeared in three games with the Bills in 2025, playing three snaps on defense and 28 snaps on special teams.

The Bills released Jackson on Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson appeared in just three regular-season games for the Bills in 2025 while serving mostly on special teams. The 2020 seventh-rounder will look to join a team in need of a depth piece in the secondary who can also contribute on special teams.

Jackson (personal) played in Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants and recorded three tackles (three solo) and one pass breakup.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson missed minimal practice time tending to a personal issue earlier in the week. He's expected to be a big part of Buffalo's cornerback picture this season alongside Christian Benford, Taron Johnson, Tre'Davious White and rookie Maxwell Hairston.

Jackson (personal) isn't practicing Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson presumably won't be sidelined long since there isn't an injury at play, but it remains to be seen if he'll be back with the team in time to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants. The veteran cornerback is a candidate to open the season in a starting role if rookie first-round pick Maxwell Hairston (knee) isn't ready to begin the regular season.

Jackson agreed to a one-year deal with the Bills on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson will return to Buffalo after spending one season in Carolina, where he played in nine games including three starts, following a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve to begin the year. The 28-year-old corner is expected to provide much-needed production for Buffalo's secondary, a unit likely to add additional competition through free agency and/or the draft following the trade of Kaiir Elam and the expected departure of Rasul Douglas, who's an unrestricted free agent.

The Panthers released Jackson on Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson struggled in his first season with the Panthers, appearing in just nine games and recording 23 total tackles and two passes defended. The veteran cornerback's playing time decreased as the year progressed; he played more than 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps just once over his last five appearances, which suggests Carolina is prioritizing youth in the secondary heading into 2025. Jackson, who posted 96 total tackles and 17 passes defended over 30 regular-season games with the Bills from 2022 to 2023, will likely have a fair share of suitors among teams in need of secondary help.

Jackson recorded 23 total tackles and two passes defended over nine games in 2024.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson signed a two-year, $8.5 million deal with the Panthers last offseason after posting 96 total tackles, two forced fumbles and 17 passes defended, including two interceptions, over his final two seasons in Buffalo. The Pittsburgh product missed six of the Panthers' first seven games due to a hamstring injury and failed to find a rhythm in his first season in Carolina, playing a reserve role when healthy. With Michael Jackson set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Jackson could see an increased role on the Panthers' defense in 2025, potentially starting opposite Jaycee Horn.

Jackson (hamstring) was removed from the Panthers' injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson had been dealing with a hamstring issue that held him out of the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Broncos; however, being removed from Friday's injury report suggests he's completely past the issue. Expect the first-year Panther to serve as one of Carolina's top rotational cornerbacks in Week 9.

Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson was able to play through a hamstring injury during the Panthers' Week 7 game against the Commanders, but he will not suit up Sunday. Caleb Farley will be the primary backup option at corner behind starters Jaycee Horn and Michael Jackson.
