Plays fewest games of career
Jackson (abdomen) caught nine of his 10 targets for 159 yards and two touchdowns across three games in the 2019 season.
Analysis: Jackson's loss to an abdominal strain in Week 2 was devastating to the Eagles' offense as the 32-year-old was expected to help open up the Eagles' passing game. Instead, he missed six games before attempting to come back for Week 9, when he aggravated the injury, this time tearing the affected muscle completely and requiring what would be season-ending surgery. However, the 12-year-vet was said to be nearing a return if the Eagles could have advanced to the divisional round of the NFC…read more

Still eyeing divisional-round return
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Jackson (abdomen) is "getting close" to a return and could be ready to come off injured reserve when first eligible in the divisional round, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Analysis: Jackson seems to be progressing well from his November surgery, but the Eagles will first have to dispatch the Seahawks in the wild-card round before the wideout's return is seriously entertained. If Philadelphia advances and Jackson gets the green light to play in the divisional round, he would provide a major boost to an Eagles receiver room that currently counts former practice squad member Greg Ward as its top option.

Angling for postseason return
Jackson (abdomen) is expected to be reinstated from injured reserve in the event the Eagles advance to the divisional round of the postseason, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite winning a head-to-head matchup with Dallas on Sunday to take a one-game lead in the NFC East standings, the Eagles will still need to defeat the Giants in Week 17 or have the Cowboys lose to the Redskins before securing a playoff spot. If the Eagles can punch their ticket to the postseason and win a home matchup in the wild-card round, their depleted receiving corps could get a much-needed addition in Jackson, who is reportedly progressing well in his recovery from the abdominal surgery…read more

Lands on IR
The Eagles placed Jackson (abdomen) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: While Jackson is still eligible to rejoin the Eagles in the postseason, the move to IR officially spells an end to his regular season after he underwent core-muscle surgery Tuesday, two days after he tore his abdominal muscle off the bone in Sunday's win over the Bears. Jackson's two-touchdown outing in Week 1 proved to be the highlight of his abbreviated campaign, as he exited early due to the abdominal injury in both of his other two appearances. With Jackson sidelined again, the Eagles will…read more

Surgery deemed successful
Jackson underwent successful surgery Tuesday to address a core-muscle injury, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Jackson elected to forgo surgery after first suffering a Grade 2 abdominal strain in Week 2, missing the subsequent six games as a result. The wideout returned to action in Sunday's win over the Bears and played only one series before suffering a complete tear of the abdominal muscle, making a procedure necessary this time around. Jackson's recovery time is estimated at around six weeks, making it a real possibility that his 2019 season is over.

Needs surgery, likely done for season
Jackson is scheduled to undergo surgery Tuesday to address his abdominal injury and likely will be sidelined for at least 4-to-6 weeks, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Jackson played only four snaps before departing Sunday's 22-14 win over the Bears after aggravating the abdominal injury that had sidelined him for the Eagles' prior six contests. The Eagles initially described Jackson's removal as precautionary, but after meeting with core specialist Dr. William Meyers, it was determined the wideout completely tore his abdominal muscle off the bone. Based on the estimated recovery timeline for the surgery, Jackson's season is more than likely over, an outcome…read more

Getting more information on injury
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Jackson is undergoing second and third opinions for the abdominal injury the receiver aggravated in Sunday's win over the Bears, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Cleared to return from a six-week absence Sunday, Jackson caught his lone target for a five-yard gain and played only four snaps before bowing out of the contest. While Pederson reiterated that the Eagles removed Jackson for precautionary purposes, the coach wouldn't speculate on the 32-year-old's availability moving forward until the team receives the latest test results. Jackson should at least benefit from the Eagles being on bye Week 10 before the team returns to action Nov. 17 versus New…read more

Sits most of game as precaution
Coach Doug Pederson confirmed Jackson (abdomen) didn't return to Sunday's 22-14 win against the Bears as a precautionary measure, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: After gathering in one of two passes for five yards on the Eagles' first possession, Jackson didn't make another appearance. Instead, he remained on the sideline without a helmet, aside from a visit to the locker at one point. With a bye week on tap, the team will aim to get Jackson healthy for a Nov. 17 matchup against the Patriots.

Questionable to return
Jackson (abdomen) left Sunday's game versus the Bears.
Analysis: Jackson was targeted twice on the Eagles' first possession, hauling in one of them for five yards. Thereafter, he was seen on the sideline without a helmet and even visited the locker room for a spell. According to Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger, the Eagles are keeping Jackson out of the game as a precautionary measure. Fortunately for Jackson, the Eagles have a Week 10 bye, giving him two weeks to rest and rehab before their next contest Sunday, Nov. 17 against the Patriots.

Cleared for Week 9
Jackson (abdomen) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: With Jackson checking out fine after a pregame workout, he'll be cleared to make his long-awaited return following a six-week absence. Coach Doug Pederson hasn't clarified the extent of Jackson's role in his first game coming off the abdominal injury, but it's possible the receiver plays a restricted snap count Sunday. Jackson's return should nonetheless result in a decreased role for Mack Hollins, who played no fewer than 46 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the preceding six games.

Slated to play Sunday
Jackson (abdomen) is expected to play Sunday against the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jackson has missed the last six games due to an abdominal issue and is listed as questionable, but it looks as though he'll make his return after working as a limited practice participant this week. The 32-year-old could still end up facing a limited snap count following the extended layoff, but his presence as a deep threat could still be significant against a stout Chicago defense.

Officially questionable for Week 9
Jackson (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Jackson has missed the Eagles' last six games, but he took a notable step forward this week by practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday. While the questionable tag implies that Jackson has a 50-50 shot of suiting up Sunday, coach Doug Pederson noted earlier Friday that he's "optimistic" the receiver will be ready to go this weekend, per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Optimism about Week 9 availability
Coach Doug Pederson is optimistic Jackson (abdomen) will play Sunday against the Bears, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: Jackson will still have to make it through the next few days without a setback before being cleared to play, but with the head coach feeling good about Jackson's chances of returning to action, fantasy players can do the same. Jackson's official status for Week 9 will be revealed after Friday's practice, while a final call on his availability may not be made until Sunday.

Remains limited Thursday
Jackson (abdomen) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: With similar showings in both Week 9 sessions so far, Jackson may be making a play for his first game action since Week 2. Still, the Eagles have a bye on tap in Week 10, so they can exercise caution with their primary downfield receiving threat. Friday's injury report will provide a sense of Jackson's potential to return.

Manages limited practice
Jackson (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson ran routes and took part in individual drills in the portion of practice that was open to the media, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger. The veteran wideout appears to have a chance of suiting up Sunday against the Bears after a six-game absence, but his availability will likely hinge on what he's able to do in practices Thursday and Friday. Of course, with a Week 10 bye coming up, the Eagles could realistically take a cautious approach to Jackson's recovery and target the…read more

Could return this week
Coach Doug Pederson is optimistic Jackson (abdomen) can return for Sunday's game against the Bears, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: The wide receiver is expected to rejoin practice Wednesday as a limited participant, with Pederson downplaying the extent of Jackson's involvement. The coach seems to be sending mixed signals, so it isn't quite clear if his optimism is justified. The Eagles have a Week 10 bye around the corner, followed by a Nov. 17 game against the Patriots.

Expected to practice this week
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Jackson (abdomen) would be incorporated in the Eagles' practices this week, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Per Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Pederson noted that Jackson would only practice "a little bit," which seemingly doesn't put the wideout on track to return from a six-game absence to play Sunday versus the Bears. Instead, the Eagles are probably more realistically banking on Jackson returning to action Nov. 17 against the Patriots, since he would benefit from a Week 10 bye in advance of that game.

Pederson also indicated the six players who haven't practiced this week "probably" won't play, per Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia, leaving the 32-year-old no real chance of suiting up.

Jackson (abdomen) will do some running Wednesday but he won't practice, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Analysis: As expected, Jackson will open the week as a non-participant, which seemingly puts him on track for a seventh consecutive absence. Even so, coach Doug Pederson denies that the rehab process is taking longer than expected, noting that the Eagles never considered placing the 32-year-old on injured reserve, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger.

Not expected to practice Wednesday
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Jackson (abdomen) is unlikely to participate in the Eagles' first practice of Week 8 on Wednesday, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Analysis: The abdominal injury that Jackson picked up Week 2 has morphed into a greater concern than the Eagles anticipated, as the veteran wideout has been sidelined for five straight contests and seemingly hasn't taken any major steps forward in the recovery process. With Pederson suggesting two days in advance that Jackson is on track to open the week as a non-participant in practice, the 32-year-old will have a tough time gaining clearance for Sunday's game in Buffalo.

Unlikely to regain full health
Head coach Doug Peterson indicated that Jackson (abdomen) is unlikely to be 100 percent again at any point this season, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Jackson has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, and figures to continue being week-to-week. Coach Peterson's comments are not all that surprising, as the 32-year-old speedster has been sidelined since exiting early in Week 2. He opted out of surgery for the injury, and will likely return once he is able to tolerate the pain. In the meantime, Mack Hollins will presumably again join Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor in three-wide formations.

Jackson (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Analysis: Listed as a non-participant throughout the week, Jackson at least did some individual work on a side field Friday. His next chance to play will come Week 8 in Buffalo, though he's far from a lock to make it back for that game. Mack Hollins will once again join Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor in three-wide formations while Dallas Goedert continues to get heavy run in two-TE sets.

Not practicing Friday
Jackson (abdomen) did not take part in Friday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: There was optimism at the beginning of the week that Jackson could play in Week 7, but he did not practice at all, so his chances of returning to action appear slim. Jackson was able to get some work in on a side field Friday, according to Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News, which at least provides further reason to believe his absence may not extend much longer.

Analysis: Per comments from coach Doug Pederson on Wednesday, Jackson is inching closer to a return, calling him "more of day-to-day now," according to McLane. While he has yet to step on the practice field as he works his way through an abdominal injury, Jackson is ramping up his conditioning.

Analysis: Pederson's injury updates often use the "day-to-day" or "week-to-week" terminology, though in this case, he's provided some added detail, mentioning Monday that Jackson will be held out of Wednesday's practice to focus on conditioning work. A return to practice Thursday and/or Friday might give the wide receiver a shot to play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Jackson (abdomen) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Even though coach Doug Pederson relayed earlier in the week that Jackson was progressing in his recovery from an abdominal strain, the wideout hasn't shown much evidence of improvement in practice.

The veteran wideout hasn't resumed practicing since he picked up the injury Week 2, but it looks like he's inching toward a return. It nonetheless appears as though Jackson is trending toward a lack of availability Week 6, in which case Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz would continue to operate as the Eagles' primary pass catchers.

Ruled out for Thursday
Jackson (abdomen) is officially ruled out for Thursday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: Jackson will miss a second consecutive game due to his abdominal strain. His lack of availability isn't much of a surprise, considering that Jackson has yet to resume practicing since suffering the injury Week 2. On a brighter note for Philadelphia's wideout corps, Alshon Jeffery (calf) appears fully recovered from an injury of his own and will suit up alongside Nelson Agholor, Mack Hollins and J.J.

Missing again Thursday
Jackson (abdomen) didn't attend practice Thursday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: The absence marks Jackson's second consecutive, which isn't a shock because of his expected two-game absence due to an abdominal strain. The Eagles' receiving corps was ravaged Week 2 in Atlanta, with all of Jackson, Alshon Jeffery (calf) and tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) missing most or all of that contest. As a result, Zach Ertz, Nelson Agholor, rookie J.J. Arcega Whiteside and Mack Hollins seem destined to be Carson Wentz's top options in the passing attack Sunday against the Lions.

Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger noted Monday that his impression is that Jackson's groin injury isn't considered serious, though the wideout's Week 3 status is not clear at this stage.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Alshon Jeffery could miss time with a calf injury, so for now the Eagles' top healthy wide receiver options are Nelson Agholor, Mack Hollins and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside.

Unable to return
Jackson (groin) did not receive a target before leaving Sunday's loss to Atlanta with a groin injury.
Analysis: Jackson was labeled as "questionable to return" later in the game, but the wideout -- along with Alshon Jeffery (calf) -- never got back into the contest. The veteran wideout was seen walking with a limp after the game, but he nodded that he would be okay when asked by reporters, ESPN's Tim McManus reports. Jackson will likely be a limited participant in practices this week, with a more definitive injury designation placed later in the week.

Questionable to return due to groin
Jackson is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Falcons due to a groin injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson had been in and out of the blue medical tent, and he's yet to be targeted in this one. With Alshon Jeffery (calf) and Dallas Goedert (calf) both questionable to return as well, Philadelphia is suffering from a major dearth of pass-catching options.

Catches two long TD passes
Jackson caught eight of his 10 targets for 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns during Sunday's 32-27 win over the Redskins.
Analysis: Jackson's deep ball skills were on full display in this one, as he hauled in touchdown passes of 51 and 53 yards to help his team roar ahead after going down 17-0 early on. He most notably drew more targets than any other Eagles player while finishing with an average of 19.3 yards per reception. Jackson appears to have a valuable role in what should be a high-powered offense and will look to build on his excellent start next Sunday on the road against the Falcons.

Practices without limitations
Jackson (finger) practiced in full Wednesday.
Analysis: Despite suffering a fractured left ring finger in practice Aug. 27, Jackson was able to push through and take part in all drills in the first session of Week 1. During a conference call with Washington media Wednesday, coach Doug Pederson said that Jackson will suit up Sunday against the Redskins, according to John Keim of ESPN.com. Putting two and two together, Jackson's availability this weekend isn't in doubt.

Practicing Wednesday
Jackson (finger) took part in Wednesday's practice, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Analysis: Jackson suffered a fracture to his left ring finger at practice Aug. 27, spurring the wideout to try out a custom splint at ensuing sessions. His level of participation Wednesday will give a better indication of his potential to play Sunday against the Redskins.

Will have hand checked out
Jackson -- who is dealing with a fractured ring finger -- is expected to see a hand specialist Wednesday to be on the safe side, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per the report, there's "confidence in (the) building" that Jackson will play in Week 1. While a finger issue is never optimal for a pass catcher, as long as Jackson can protect the injury, it sounds like something he can work through. Additionally, Jackson's game is built on his fleet wheels, so his ability to beat defenders deep remains intact.

Set to try out custom splint
Jackson, who is dealing with a fractured ring finger, is slated to try out a custom splint Wednesday, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

Broken finger shouldn't affect Week 1 status

Makes brief preseason appearance
Jackson could not haul in his lone target in Thursday's preseason loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Jackson started but played only the opening drive. While he didn't do much, he's been impressive in camp, connecting with Carson Wentz on many a long play. The 10th-year vet enters the season behind Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz in terms of projected target share but has a good chance to improve on his 2018 season, which saw him make 41 catches for 774 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games for Tampa Bay.

Looks great at camp
Jackson was "an impossible matchup" for Philadelphia's defensive backs throughout training camp, according to ESPN.com's Tim McManus.
Analysis: The report says Jackson made at least one splash play every day, typically on long passes from quarterback Carson Wentz. Quick chemistry between the two players bodes well for the entire Philadelphia offense, with Jackson's speed potentially opening things up for other players to be more efficient with their opportunities. The 32-year-old wideout will face a tougher test if he plays in Thursday's preseason game against Baltimore, a team that has Marlon Humphrey, Jimmy Smith and Brandon Carr at…read more

Likely to return punts
Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp indicated Monday that Jackson will be a situational punt returner for the Eagles, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: Fipp said of Jackson, "I'm sure he will have a role [on special teams]. Exactly what that is, I don't know that anyone knows that totally yet." Jackson returned punts for the Eagles during his first stint with the team, with 14 returns for 71 yards during his final season in 2013. The 32-year-old is likely to be utilized as a situational option, particularly in late-game circumstances.

Active during offseason program
Head coach Doug Pederson said that Jackson has been present for the Eagles' offseason program, Sheil Kapadia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson appears to be going through drills in full speed, looking healthy and recovered from the Achilles' injury that impacted his availability down the stretch of his 2018 season with Tampa. A full offseason from the veteran wideout -- one that's uninhibited by a prolonged rehab process -- could go a long way in helping the Eagles offense develop chemistry in advance of Week 1. Alongside Alshon Jeffery (ribs) and Zach Ertz, Jackson is expected to be a top target for Philly in 2019, but he'll…read more

Inks three-year contract
Jackson (Achilles) signed a three-year contract with the Eagles on Thursday.
Analysis: Jackson was previously entering the last year of the contract he originally signed with Tampa Bay in March of 2017. This re-worked deal likely lowers his $10-plus million cap hit for 2019 and keeps the deep threat under Eagles control through 2021. With Golden Tate and Mike Wallace no longer around, Jackson is joining Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor at the top of the wideout depth chart in Philadelphia.

Returns to Philly
The Buccaneers agreed to trade Jackson (Achilles) to the Eagles on Monday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
Analysis: Jackson thus returns to the team that drafted him in the second round of the 2008 draft. Although he's entering the twilight of his career as a 32-year-old, he still led the NFL with 18.9 yards per catch in 2018 en route to a 41-774-4 line in 12 games. With Golden Tate, Mike Wallace and Jordan Matthews set to depart as unrestricted free agents, Jackson is slated to work in concert with Alshon Jeffery (ribs) and Nelson Agholor in the starting lineup next season.

Not getting much trade interest
The Buccaneers aren't having any luck finding a trade for Jackson (Achilles), Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports multiple teams are interested in acquiring Jackson, but not if it means giving up a draft pick for the right to pay him $10 million in 2019. Those teams prefer to wait out the situation, presumably operating under the assumption Tampa Bay will eventually release the 32-year-old wideout.

The Buccaneers have been shopping Jackson (Achilles), who is interested in a return to Philadelphia, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Reports on the 32-year-old deep threat have gone back and forth throughout the offseason, with the initial assumption of a trade or release coming into question in late February when new coach Bruce Arians said he was excited to work with Jackson in Tampa Bay. It appears the front office has a different outlook, which makes sense with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin also on the roster.

May have role in Tampa under Arians
New coach Bruce Arians recently had a lengthy discussion with Jackson (Achilles) and said he looks forward to working with the veteran wide receiver in Tampa Bay, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Arians sung a different tune than general manager Jason Licht, who said the team remains open to all options with the veteran wideout. Jackson has been frustrated by his lack of chemistry with quarterback Jameis Winston, making the 32-year-old an obvious candidate for trade or release ahead of the final season of a three-year, $33.5 million contract. The move would free up $10 million in cap space and seemed obvious a couple months ago, but the Bucs may view things differently after they hired…read more

Jackson (Achilles) said he would like to play for the Rams, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Given that the Rams aren't a fit in terms of positional need or cap space, this comment is only interesting as an implicit admission that Jackson doesn't expect to be back in Tampa Bay. With a non-guaranteed $10 million remaining on his contract, the 32-year-old wideout likely will be traded or released at some point during the offseason. Jackson struggled with injuries and never lived up to expectations in his time with the Bucs, but he at least proved he's still a first-rate deep threat,…read more

Disappointing 2018 campaign
Jackson (Achilles), who was inactive for Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Falcons, finished the 2018 season with 41 receptions (on 74 targets) for 774 yards and four touchdowns. He also rushed six times for 29 yards and another score.
Analysis: Jackson's relatively underwhelming two-year stint in Tampa appears highly likely to come to an end this offseason, given that the veteran himself has openly expressed a desire to move on from the franchise that inked him to a three-year, $33.5 million contract with $20 million in guarantees prior to the 2017 campaign. The 32-year-old speedster is at an interesting career juncture, as his serviceable but disappointing receiving yardage tallies over the past pair of seasons haven't really been…read more

Inactive Week 17
Jackson (Achilles) is inactive for Sunday's Week 17 tilt against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: As expected, Jackson will be in street clothes for what's increasingly expected to be his final game in Tampa. The disgruntled veteran has made no secret of his desire to play elsewhere in 2019, so an offseason divorce appears highly likely. Both Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries stand to benefit from Jackson's absence Sunday.

Not on track to play
Jackson (Achilles) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Absent from practice throughout the week, Jackson doesn't seem to have much shot at playing in what could be his final game with the Buccaneers. The team can free up $10 million in cap space by releasing him after the season, with no shortage of alternatives at wide receiver in the form of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries. The presumed Week 17 absence should free up a few more snaps and targets for Godwin outside.

The 32-year-old has expressed his desire to leave Tampa Bay after the season, according to Josina Anderson of ESPN, so he very well may have played his final game with the Buccaneers.

If Jackson misses the contest, it could spell an end to his tenure in Tampa Bay, as Josina Anderson of ESPN relayed earlier Thursday that the wideout has expressed a preference to move on from the organization after the season.

Hoping to leave Tampa in 2019
Jackson (Achilles) has expressed a desire to part ways with the Buccaneers at the conclusion of the 2018 season, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Anderson's scoop doesn't come as much of a surprise after Jackson has seen a role reduction for much of the second half of the season while missing three games with a thumb injury along the way. Even at 32 years old, the speedy wideout still has some playmaking ability downfield -- he leads the NFL with 18.9 yards per reception -- but the Buccaneers likely envision youngster Chris Godwin filling a similar role at a more affordable price.

Analysis: Following a three-game absence to tend to a thumb injury, Jackson returned to action Sunday at Dallas. During that contest, he suffered what was termed a foot issue at the end of his only reception, a 24-yard connection with Jameis Winston.

Analysis: After missing the previous three games due to a thumb injury, Jackson returned for the Week 16 loss to the Cowboys, only to leave the contest for a spell due to a foot concern. He brought in just one of his four targets for 24 yards, marking his third-fewest yards in 26 appearances as a member of the Buccaneers.

Jackson brought in one of four targets for 24 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Buccaneers' 27-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Analysis: Jackson's return to action from a thumb injury Sunday was briefly interrupted by a foot issue that forced an exit from the contest, but he was able to return and finish out the game. The veteran's final line was decidedly underwhelming, however, as he's seemingly headed to a second disappointing finish in as many seasons in Tampa. Jackson has just four receptions on 12 targets in the last two games in which he's seen action, and he hasn't found the end zone in five straight contests overall.…read more

Analysis: Jackson makes his return to action after a pair of full practices to wrap up the week foreshadowed his potential active status. The veteran has missed the last three games with his thumb injury, but he'll presumably slide right back into the No. 2 role alongside Mike Evans versus a stingy Cowboys secondary. Jackson's return bumps Chris Godwin, who'd secured just one of 13 targets over the last two games, back into a timeshare of the No. 3 receiver role with Adam Humphries.

Questionable, but slated to play

The wideout was a full participant in practices Thursday and Friday, with coach Dirk Koetter stating after the latter session that Jackson would be active in Week 16, per Jenna Laine of ESPN.com.

Chris Godwin benefited the most from Jackson's absence in the Week 13 win over the Panthers, pulling in five of six targets for 101 yards and a touchdown.

Analysis: Jackson's absence from practices Wednesday and Thursday adds further fuel to the notion that the wideout likely won't be available for a second straight game Sunday against New Orleans, if not shut down for the season.

Analysis: Given that he was listed as a limited participant all last week, the downgrade to no practice may fuel speculation about Jackson missing the rest of the season. He was ineffective while playing through a thumb injury Week 12, and the Tampa offense didn't miss a beat with Chris Godwin taking on a larger role in Jackson's absence Week 13 against the Panthers. The 32-year-old wideout doesn't seem especially likely to return for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Analysis: Jackson was ineffective while playing with the thumb injury last week, catching three of eight targets for 19 yards in a 27-8 win over the 49ers. He was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, but multiple Buccaneers beat reporters suggested Jackson was mostly an observer. His Week 13 absence should free up starter-level snaps for Chris Godwin, who owns career marks of 14.1 yards per catch and 9.5 yards per target. Adam Humphries, Mike Evans and Cameron Brate are also…read more

Remains limited in practice
Jackson (thumb) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Although Jackson was on the practice field for the second straight day, he wasn't spotted catching passes Thursday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. The wideout continues to sport a cast over his left thumb, something that could affect his ability to reel in passes during Sunday's game against the Panthers. If Jackson is held out of that contest or has his playing time restricted as a result of the thumb concern, Chris Godwin would likely benefit the most from an uptick in snaps.

Officially listed as limited
Jackson (thumb) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Despite the designation, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times observed that Jackson barely did anything at practice, mostly catching passes with one hand while wearing a brace over his injured left hand. The veteran wideout was scheduled to visit a specialist in New York on Tuesday, but it's unclear if he followed through with the initial plan before rejoining his teammates in Tampa Bay. Whatever the case, Jackson is no lock to play through the thumb injury for a second straight week when…read more

Wearing brace on injured thumb
Jackson sported a brace on his left thumb at Wednesday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Following Sunday's win against the 49ers, it was revealed that Jackson intended to visit a specialist in New York to have his lingering thumb injury examined. It's unclear if he proceed with that plan, however, as Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times noted prior to Wednesday's practice that the wideout may have opted against the visit. Either way, it's a positive sign that Jackson is attempting to participate in the Buccaneers' first practice of the week, which bolsters his chances of suiting up…read more

Visiting specialist for thumb
Jackson (thumb) is visiting with a specialist in New York on Monday to determine the best course of action for handling his injury, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson played through the injury in Sunday's 27-9 win over the 49ers, catching three of eight targets for 19 yards in a game where quarterback Jameis Winston was otherwise extremely efficient. It's hard to say if Jackson's thumb issue played a role in the lackluster performance, but even if it wasn't a factor, he may prefer a cautious approach without the motivation of a possible playoff appearance. An absence in Week 13 against Carolina would free up snaps and targets for Chris Godwin.

Getting thumb checked out
Jackson will be re-examined Monday after playing through a thumb injury in Sunday's 27-9 win over the 49ers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Coach Dirk Koetter's decision to turn over the starting quarterback gig to Jameis Winston in Week 12 didn't bear fruit for Jackson, who finished with three catches for a season-low 19 yards on eight targets and rushed once for six yards. Jackson has now failed to reach the end zone in four straight contests while snagging just over half (14) of his 27 targets over that span. The thumb injury he has battled over the last two games surely hasn't helped the 32-year-old, but it's not believed he…read more

Modest production yet again
Jackson brought in three of eight targets for 19 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-9 win over the 49ers on Sunday. He also rushed once for six yards.
Analysis: The Bucs are clearly trying to get the ball into Jackson's hands -- his eight targets Sunday tied Mike Evans for the team lead -- but he's having trouble finding success downfield irrespective of the quarterback under center. Jackson now has back-to-back single-digit YPC figures for the first time this season, and he's been under 40 receiving yards in four of his last six games. Jackson's touchdown-less streak is now at four games as well, something he'll look to remedy against the Panthers in…read more

Active in Week 12
Jackson (thumb) is active for Sunday's Week 12 tilt against the 49ers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: As expected, Jackson will suit up and assume his usual No. 2 role. Jackson initially hurt the thumb in last Sunday's loss to the Giants but returned to the game, and he'll look to reestablish chemistry with Jameis Winston versus a middle-of-the-pack 49ers secondary Sunday.

Scheduled to play Week 12
Jackson (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers but is expected to play, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: Despite the questionable designation technically making Jackson a 50-50 proposition for the weekend, there never seemed to be much concern about his availability after he put in full practices Thursday and Friday. Fantasy managers who have been relying on Jackson will still want to confirm his status when Tampa Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. EST kickoff, but it's highly likely the wideout will suit up and take on a normal snap count in Week 12.

Technically listed as questionable
Jackson (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, despite logging full practices Thursday and Friday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson's ability to practice without any limitations on consecutive days suggests he should be fine to handle his usual role in a middle-of-the-pack matchup against a 49ers defense that's allowing 8.4 yards per target to wide receivers. While he's done his best work this season with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center, Jackson did catch a 60-yard touchdown from Jameis Winston in a Week 8 loss to Cincinnati. The Bucs are turning back to Winston as their starter for Week 12.

Bumps up to 'full' listing
Jackson (thumb) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson's limited session Wednesday stemmed from the thumb injury that forced him to the sideline for a spell this past Sunday against the Giants. However, the issue clearly was minor after he elevated to "full" one day later. With the swap of Ryan Fitzpatrick to Jameis Winston under center, Jackson's ceiling on a weekly basis may have been lowered. Helping Jackson's cause for targets, though, is the loss of tight end O.J. Howard (ankle/foot) for the season.

Limited at practice
Jackson (thumb) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Jackson was able to play through the injury in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Giants, finishing with four catches for 38 yards on seven targets. He'll likely be fine for the Week 12 game against the 49ers and will hope to get back on track as the Bucs transition back to Jameis Winston under center. Jackson will still share snaps with Adam Humphries and Chris Godwin, but there may be a bit more volume to go around now that tight end O.J. Howard (ankle) is out of the picture after being placed on…read more

Shakes off in-game injury in loss
Jackson, who exited Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Giants briefly in the third quarter due to a thumb injury, eventually returned and finished with four receptions (on seven targets) for 38 yards.
Analysis: Jackson was actually the intended receiver on the final offensive play of the day for the Buccaneers, a Jameis Winston pass that was intercepted by the Giants' B.W. Webb at New York's 25-yard line with 23 seconds remaining. The veteran speedster continues to endure a mostly frustrating latter portion of the campaign, one that's seen him log less than 40 receiving yards in three of his last five games. There seems to be a firm cap on Jackson's upside in this offense at the moment irrespective of…read more

Injures thumb Sunday
Jackson is questionable to return to Sunday's road game against the Giants, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: At the time of his departure in the third quarter, Jackson had two catches (on two targets) for 26 yards. As long as Jackson is sidelined, the Buccaneers will have Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Adam Humphries and Justin Watson available at wide receiver.

Catches five passes in loss
Jackson caught five of eight targets for 67 yards during Sunday's 16-3 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Jackson's biggest contribution of the day came on third and short midway through the first quarter as Jackson caught a quick hitch and cut upfield for a 24-yard gain. He was relatively quiet for the rest of the game, as he was held under 70 receiving yards for the fifth straight outing. Like many of Tampa Bay's targets, Jackson has also struggled to find the end zone after starting the season off hot. Next week brings a so-so matchup for the big-play threat against a Giants defense giving up…read more

Adds to frustration in Week 9 loss
Jackson brought in two of four targets for 32 yards in the Buccaneers' 42-28 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: It was another underwhelming performance for Jackson, who was also the intended receiver on Ryan Fitzpatrick's second interception of the day with 3:45 remaining, a turnover that essentially sealed the win for the Panthers. Jackson's target share has been particularly inconsistent lately, as he's received just four looks in two of his last three games but has seen either eight or nine in three other contests dating back to Week 4. While he's experiencing an uptick in overall success thus far…read more
