2022 Fantasy Outlook
A groin injury ended Jackson's 2021 campaign prematurely, but he still managed 61 tackles, 10 passes defended and two interceptions in 12 games. That output - along with Jackson's decent previous three years - was enough for the Panthers to reward him a three-year contract this offseason. In remaining in Carolina, Jackson should maintain his starting spot opposite Jaycee Horn and have ample opportunities to make plays. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Unavailable to start OTAs
Jackson (Achilles) was present Tuesday but didn't participate in the first day of Carolina's OTAs, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
This isn't surprising, as Jackson is still recovering from a torn Achilles he suffered last November, and it remains unclear when he'll be able to play again. The Panthers reworked Jackson's contract this offseason to create some cap savings, and whenever he's cleared, he figures to compete for the starting cornerback job opposite Jaycee Horn.

2018
Jackson enters the final year of his rookie contract after enduring a turbulent first three seasons as a pro. Last year, he posted a career-best 11 passes defended in just 14 games, nabbing three interceptions to go with his 34 stops. However, his inconsistencies led the Panthers to draft fellow cornerback Jaycee Horn tenth overall, giving them a new top option at the position. Horn's presence could take some pressure off Jackson, but the veteran speedster will need to be more steady to stave off competition from A.J. Bouye, Rashaan Melvin and Troy Pride for his starting job this term.
