Jaguars' Dane Jackson: Placed on reserve/retired list
Rotowire
The Jaguars placed Jackson (personal) on the reserve/retired list Tuesday.
Jackson signed with the Jaguars in early June after being released by the Bills but has decided to retire from football. The cornerback played in 55 regular-season games, and totalled 178 tackles (144 solo), 30 passes defensed and three interceptions. The 29-year-old's last game was the Bills' 33-30 overtime playoff loss to the Broncos. Jackson played one defensive snap in the contest and gave up a 26-yard touchdown to Marvin Mims with 55 seconds left in regulation. The Jags signed cornerback Corey Ballentine in a corresponding move.
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.
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.
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.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Not practicing for personal reasons
Rotowire
Jackson (personal) isn't practicing Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
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.
