The Seahawks released Jackson on Thursday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
A transaction that made sense for the Seahawks, the team decided to part ways with Jackson likely due to a combination of his age, lingering knee concerns and his hefty salary cap number ($11.3 million) for this coming season. The 335-pounder started in 31 games for Seattle across the previous two campaigns, and he'll now look elsewhere to continue his playing career.
Seahawks' Gabe Jackson: Full activity levels Thursday
Rotowire
Jackson (hip/knee) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Jackson suffered a hip injury during the team's Week 5 loss to the Saints, causing him to miss the last two games as a result. However, his ability to practice in full Thursday suggests he'll be ready to reclaim his usual starting spot at right guard Sunday against the Giants. Phil Haynes -- who started the last two weeks in place of Jackson -- will likely revert back to a depth role for Seattle's offensive line.
Jackson (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Chargers.
Jackson's absence will push Phil Haynes into the starting right guard job against the Chargers on Sunday. He'll work to return in Week 8 against the Giants.
Jackson has exited Sunday's game with the Saints due to a hip flexor injury, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Jackson's absence will leave a hole at right guard for the Seahawks while he is out of the game. Phil Haynes should handle the position while Jackson is sidelined.
