Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Beset by injury again this season
Rotowire
Jackson played in 10 games during the 2022 regular season, tallying 51 tackles (40 solo), seven pass defenses, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. He added 14 tackles (11 solo) across New York's two playoff contests.
Jackson was a key component of New York's secondary in the games in which he played, taking part in over 90 percent of the team's defensive snaps in nine of his 12 contests between the regular season and playoffs. However, a sprained MCL suffered in Week 11 against Detroit cost him seven games, and he has now missed 29 regular-season contests over the past four campaigns. Jackson is signed through 2024 and should remain a starter in the back end of the Giants defense next season.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Full participant Wednesday
Rotowire
Jackson (back) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Jackson was a limited participant Tuesday due to a back injury, but it appears the issue is minor as he logged a full session Wednesday. The 2017 first-round pick played 54 defensive snaps and recorded seven tackles (six solo) during the Giants' wild-card win over Minnesota. Jackson figures to see a similar role against the Eagles and will play a major role in attempting to slow down A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Jackson doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Vikings, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Per Leonard, the Giants don't have any players listed as out, doubtful or questionable, so they should be at full strength for their first playoff matchup since 2016. Jackson hasn't played since Week 11 due to a sprained MCL, so it's unclear how effective he'll be Sunday. Nonetheless, the presence of their top cornerback should be a major boost to the Giants' secondary for a matchup against Justin Jefferson and the Vikings' offense.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Availability in question Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
Jackson said he was not sure he'd be able to play, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. The 27-year-old hasn't played since Week 11 against the Lions when he suffered a sprained MCL. However, he has been practicing in a limited fashion since the team prepped for Week 17. If he can return for the wild-card round against the Vikings on Sunday, it'd certainly be a boon for the team's secondary.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Jackson's inability to suit up doesn't come as a surprise, considering he was doubtful coming into Sunday. Also, with the team locked into the No. 6 seed of the NFC playoffs, there is little reason for them to get him back onto the field for their regular-season finale. He'll work to be ready to play next weekend in the wild-card round.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Missing another game
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Jackson's knee injury will cause him to miss a fifth straight game, priming Nick McCloud to once again handle a defensive role. Richie James and Darnay Holmes will also stand to handle punt-return duties. Jackson's next chance to play will come Week 17 versus the Colts.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Ruled out
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Commanders.
Jackson didn't practice throughout Week 15 prep, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for a fourth consecutive game due to a knee injury. Fellow cornerback Nick McCloud (illness) is listed as questionable, so if he joins Jackson on the sidelines, Cor'Dale Flott, Darnay Holmes and Rodarius Williams would all be candidates for increased snaps opposite Fabian Moreau.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Suffers MCL sprain
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) suffered an MCL sprain in Sunday's 31-18 loss to the Lions and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jackson went down with a knee injury when returning a punt in the first half of Sunday's contest and it has now been determined to be an MCL sprain. The timetable leaves a little room for the cornerback to return late in the season, but his absence will likely have a large impact on the Giants' secondary for the time being. With the team set to play on Thanksgiving Day versus the Cowboys, Nick McCloud and Cor'Dale Flott could step into more substantial roles.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: X-rays negative
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) underwent X-rays that came back clean following Sunday's game against the Lions, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Jackson was shaken up on a punt return in the first half of Sunday's matchup, and the team fears that he's sustained a sprained MCL that will force him to miss 3-to-5 weeks. While it's somewhat encouraging that his X-rays came back clean, the 2017 first-rounder will undergo an MRI that should reveal a better diagnosis of any ligament damage.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Sustains sprained MCL on Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson suffered a sprained MCL during Sunday's game against the Lions, and he's expected to be sidelined for the next 3-to-5 weeks as a result, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.
Jackson sustained the injury on a punt return in the first half. Richie James is expected to reclaim punt-return duties beginning with the Giants' Week 12 game against the Cowboys, but Jackson's absence will be more significantly felt on defense, where he serves as the team's No. 1 cornerback.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Good to go for Week 6
Rotowire
Jackson doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Jackson left the team's Week 5 win over the Packers due to knee and neck injuries, and despite logging only limited practices during Week 6 prep, he'll be good to go for Sunday's contest. Across five appearances this year, the 2017 first-round pick has recorded 26 tackles and one pass defense while operating as a starting cornerback opposite Fabian Moreau.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Practices in limited capacity
Rotowire
Jackson (knee/neck) was limited during Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
It's encouraging to see Jackson at least participate in a limited fashion after he left the Giants' Week 5 win over the Packers due to knee and neck injuries. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Week 6.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Jackson (knee/neck) has been downgraded to out in Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
After leaving the field during the second half of Sunday's game due to a knee injury, he won't return to the game and is also marked with a neck injury. Darnay Holmes and Fabian Moreau are next in line to serve as the primary cornerbacks for New York.

Jackson (knee) is questionable to return in Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Jackson left the game in the second half and it remains unknown if he'll return to the field. If Jackson is unable to play, losing a starting corner will be a big loss to the Giants' defense. Darnay Holmes and Fabian Moreau are next in line to serve as the primary cornerbacks for New York.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Activated from COVID-19 list
Rotowire
The Giants activated Jackson (illness/quadriceps) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Jackson tested positive for COVID-19 last week and was expected to miss at least 10 days since he's unvaccinated, but he'll be cleared to return to practice Wednesday as a result of the NFL's updated rules for unvaccinated players. The 26-year-old dealt with a quadriceps injury prior to testing positive for COVID-19, and it's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Tests positive for COVID-19
Rotowire
Jackson (quadriceps) tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Since Jackson is unvaccinated, he'll need to spend at least 10 days away from the team, meaning that he'll be unavailable for Week 15. Since he had been battling a quadriceps injury and won't be able to rejoin the Giants until Dec. 25, his status for the team's Week 16 matchup against the Eagles also appears to be in jeopardy. Since Aaron Robinson (illness) is also on the reserve/COVID-19 list, James Bradberry and Keion Crossen are in line to serve as the primary cornerbacks Sunday against Dallas.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Could play Week 13
Rotowire
The Giants are optimistic that Jackson (quadriceps) will be able to suit up for Sunday's game in Miami, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Jackson was forced out of Week 12's game against the Eagles in the first quarter, but it looks like he's at least avoided a serious injury. The Giants will monitor the starting cornerback's activity in practice this week before making a final decision about his availability.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Ruled out Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Jackson left the game in the first quarter, and the injury turned out to be serious enough to prevent him from returning. This is worrisome for the Giants since they also lost Darnay Holmes (chest) to injury, which will likely translate into a bigger role for Aaron Robinson.

Giants' Adoree' Jackson: Escapes with minor sprain
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) is nursing a minor sprain and could return to practice next week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Jackson limping off the practice field Wednesday was initially worrying, but it appears as though the oft-injured cornerback has avoided any sort of long-term issue. Barring any setbacks in his recovery, Jackson could return to full health in time for Sept. 12's regular-season opener against the Broncos.

Titans' Adoree' Jackson: Confirmed for season debut
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions.
Jackson has finally shaken off the knee injury that has held him out for the entire season thus far. The fourth-year cornerback practiced in a limited fashion all week, and there is a chance he's not ready for a full workload yet. Jackson's return should nevertheless improve the Titans' secondary immediately, as he allowed just 395 yards and one touchdown in coverage over 11 games last year.
