Jackson is in line to re-sign with the Bills, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The Bills plan to tender the restricted free agent after he had a productive season in 2022. The deal will likely be an original-round tender at $2.7 million, which would make the 26-year-old cornerback a cost effective option in Buffalo's defensive backfield if he can build upon his solid 2022 campaign. Jackson finished the season with 57 tackles (40 solo), two interceptions, 12 passes defensed and one forced fumble.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Active but not starting
Rotowire
Jackson will not start Sunday against the Bengals, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Jackson left the team's wild-card win over the Dolphins with a knee injury, but he was able to close out the week with a full practice and shed his injury designation, ultimately being active for the divisional round. However, the 26-year-old will not draw the start Sunday opposite Tre'Davious White, and instead, Kaiir Elam will. Whether or not Jackson suffered a setback or is hampered by the injury is unclear.

Jackson was forced out of the team's win over the Dolphins on Sunday with the injury. His status for the AFC divisional round will likely remain in question leading up to the game.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Cleared to return Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson (stinger) returned to Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Jackson was forced out of Sunday's contest versus the Chiefs with a stinger injury, but he's since returned to the field. The 25-year-old, along with Taron Johnson and Kaiir Elam, should continue operating as the Bills' top cornerbacks for the remainder of Sunday's game in Kansas City.

Jackson (neck) will play Sunday against the Ravens, Chris Brown reports.
Jackson will return to field for the first time since suffering a neck injury in Week 2 against the Titans. His return, along with that of Jordan Poyer's (foot), should be a boon to the Bills' secondary Sunday against the Ravens.

Rotowire
Jackson (neck) was a non-participant during Wednesday's walk-through practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Taken off in ambulance
Rotowire
Jackson (upper body) exited Monday's game via ambulance after taking a hit to the head and neck area near the end of the first half, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports. He will undergo a CT scan and an X-ray at ECMC Hospital in Buffalo, per the Bills' official press release.
Jackson suffered a scary hit to the head from a teammate while the two attempted to make a tackle near the end of the first half of Monday's game against the Titans. The 25-year-old was seen moving his extremities while down on the field after sustaining this injury, according to Kyed. While the exact nature of this injury is still unclear, the serious nature of Jackson's departure indicates that he will stay out for the remainder of Monday's game.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against the Titans.
Jackson was a non-participant at practice earlier in the week before logging a full workload Saturday. Thus, he does appear to be trending in the right direction. His status is unlikely to be determined until close to kickoff.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Sits out Friday's walk-through
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) didn't participate in Friday's walk-through practice.
After a standout camp, Jackson earned a starting job at corner, at least until Tre'Davious White (knee) returns. He played 64 defensive snaps in the season opener and recorded five tackles, one pass defense and one interception. However, he's been sidelined for back-to-back practices due to a knee injury leading up to Week 2. If Jackson is unable to suit up Monday against the Titans, rookies Kaiir Elam and Christian Benford could both be thrust into starting roles.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Ready for challenging start
Rotowire
Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier indicated this week that he will "mix it up" between rookie cornerbacks Kaiir Elam and Christian Benford when the team takes on the Rams on Thursday Night Football, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports. That would seem to imply Jackson will serve as the starting cornerback opposite the two rookies.
This is a fluid situation, as star corner Tre'Davious White (knee) will eventually return and resume one of the starting spots. As far as Thursday is concerned, the Rams love to push the pedal on offense and it wouldn't be a surprise if Jackson ends up accruing at least a handful of tackles in what's set to be an exciting season-opening game.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Earns boss's praise
Rotowire
Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said Tuesday that he still feels Jackson's experience and talent put him in a starter's role in the short term, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Jackson has been in a battle with first-round rookie Kaiir Elam all summer, though both have technically been working out in the starter's role while stud corner Tre'Davious White continues his return from his 2021 season-ending knee injury. It's not even a certainly that White, still on the PUP list, is ready for Week 1, but either way it looks like Jackson will see plenty of playing time to begin the season. That said, Elam has been making strides all summer as well, so playing time could be fluid once White is closer to 100 percent.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Big opportunity ahead
Rotowire
Jackson is expected to see increased action in the wake of Tre'Davious White's season-ending knee injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. "I think Dane Jackson is one of those guys who will step up," defensive coordinator Frazier said this week. "He's the next man up and he'll do a good job for us. But to say that he will play at the level of Tre'Davious, that would be misleading for sure."
Jackson saw a season-high 63 percent of the snaps in the team's Thanksgiving win over New Orleans, and his time should be at least at that level going forward, as he's now the third best corner left after starter Levi Wallace and slot corner Taron Johnson. Expect to see Jackson in on at least a few tackles as Bill Belichick and Mac Jones test out the unproven corner in Week 13.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Back to work
Rotowire
Jackson (neck) was back at practice Wednesday sporting a red no-contact jersey, Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports.
It seems as if Jackson will be set to go when the Bills take on the Steelers in Week 1, though he probably didn't do enough this summer -- the untimely injury certainly didn't help -- to overtake Levi Wallace for the No. 2 cornerback spot. The Bills remain high on Jackson, however, so the 2020 seventh-rounder should see the field aplenty this season.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Week 17 promotion
Rotowire
Jackson has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against Miami, the Bills' official site reports.
The seventh-round rookie last suited up Week 10, but all signs point to the Bills using at least part of Sunday's game as a chance to rest up some starters, so Jackson could see some action in the regular-season finale.
