Adoree' Jackson Fantasy

New York Giants cornerback Adoree' Jackson (ankle) is dealing with a low ankle sprain, which is a best-case scenario and could allow him to return for Week 1 against the Denver Broncos. Jackson was injured in practice on Wednesday and was dealing with significant swelling before undergoing an MRI exam that revealed the low ankle sprain. The 25-year-old hasn't been ruled out for Thursday's joint practice with the New England Patriots, but we'd be surprised if he was actually out there. Jackson was signed to a three-year deal in the spring and is expected to start opposite James Bradberry at right cornerback in 2021. The former first-rounder in 2017 could be an option in deeper IDP leagues with many teams trying to avoid Bradberry's side of the field, but Jackson is also an injury risk, missing 18 total games in the last two seasons.

The New York Giants signed former Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree' Jackson to a three-year, $39 million deal on Monday, according to sources. The deal includes $26.5 million in guarantees and more than $20 million fully guaranteed. The 25-year-old was in high demand, with the Philadelphia Eagles also in the mix until the final moments. He'll be added to a secondary that already had Pro Bowl cornerback James Bradberry on one side. The Giants will hope that Jackson will be a speedy complement to the longer, more physical Bradberry. Jackson can also play in the slot and can contribute as a kick returner on special teams. He had started 41 of 46 games for the Titans, but a knee injury before the start of last season limited him to only three games in 2020.

Former Tennessee Titans first-round cornerback Adoree' Jackson is expected to visit with the New York Giants, according to a source. He will follow up his Giants visit by meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday. The Titans waived Jackson earlier this week to free up some salary cap space for the 2021 season. He played in 46 games for the Titans in the last four seasons, making 41 starts. But Jackson was only able to play in three games in 2020 because of a knee injury. New York upgraded their secondary by giving cornerback James Bradberry a three-year, $45 million deal last season, but they could upgrade again this year with Jackson. The 25-year-old has two interceptions, 33 passes defensed and 200 tackles in 46 career NFL games. Jackson also has some special teams experience, returning 53 punts and 27 kickoffs.
